Ephotozine K-3 review
As you probably know, your second question at least is addressed briefly in the PentaxForums review: 'To take full advantage of the K-3's filterless sensor, you will need to have some sharp lenses in your bag. We stand behind the following lenses as the best of the best from Pentax (or for Penta...

Yet more K-3 v. K-5mkii questions
I know that these two cameras have been the subject of endless, and at times somewhat unnecessarily acrimonious, debate since the K-3 was launched, but I am hoping that users of these two cameras may be able to help answer some questions. I have long been less-than-happy with my K20D and have bee...

Yet more K-3 v. K-5mkii questions
There are actual speed figures for AF/shutter response in the EPZ review. These have become steadily faster, but you can look them up in the various reviews. There have been no Flu cards around yet, but they may start to appear very soon. Did someone say the special silver edition was supplied wi...

Yet more K-3 v. K-5mkii questions
As I said in my post Timothy, I will reserve judgement until I try a K-3 but as for tracking ability being difficult to compare, I have my 7D here (which was released the same time as the original K-5 so must be approx 3 or 4 years old now?) .. it will be pretty easy to test the two cameras side by ...

K-3 glowing review
I have to say though that after looking at matwhittington's leaf pictures the level of detail in that sensor is breathtaking. For anyone wanting a macro/landscape/portrait/ anything not moving in an erratic manner camera it has to be the best (APS-C) out there at the moment. Edit : Added APS-C

K-3 glowing review
If you've got the latest AP mag (saw it yesterday), have a look at the K-3 review in there, and then compare it to the What Digital Camera review (apparently by a different author) linked to by Jules, it makes very interesting reading. ;-) Dan And for those who haven't AP???????????:wink: Well, t...

Some healthy debates going on surrounding the K3, so how about one more to round it off... Diffraction... So we all know what were talking about. http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/diffraction-photography.htm Now My understanding, which may or not be right, so A, I'm looking to gain ...

Diffraction...
Your picture will never be any less detailed as a result of diffraction. Sounds about right, providing the sensor is the same size which of course it is effectively with all the Pentax DSLRs to date. Diffraction would have less of an effect with a 24x36 sensor and increase with a smaller one. Joh...

Shake reduction and tripods
Take a look at this I would take anything that article says with a big pinch of salt, given that it says this: If you shoot with a camera that features in-camera IS ... and plan on using a third-party lens that also features an IS system, turn off the camera’s IS system and rely on the lens’s...

Shake reduction and tripods
I wasn't too fussed about the bit concerning IS systems because as far as I know the Kx doesn't have it, nor does my DA 55-300. No Pentax lens has an IS system. All Pentax dSLRs since the K10D and K100D have had sensor-shift shake reduction, apart from, I believe, the K110D which did not.

Shake reduction and tripods
It's one of those odd things that I just feel isn't worth the time spent on it. According to the manual SR should be switched off when using a tripod. So why spend any effort trying to disprove what the manufacturer says when it's easy enough to just switch it off? As it happens, when I use a tri...

Shake reduction and tripods
In the manuals it just says switch it off - and unless they've changed the wording in the ones since the K-5, there's nothing about SR-induced shake. Yes, the manual says switch it off, but why. They may state that because you don't need it when a lens is on a tripod, but will it cause any problem ...

Focussing in Live View
Starting to get into my recently purchased K5 after upgrading from K10D. So far so good! One thing that seems to be strange is when using the camera in Live View mode the focussing seems to be really wired. With a Pentax 18-250 zoom it is reasonably quick in 'normal' TTL mode but when you switch ...

DXO K3 Scores are out
Indeed but I wonder why there was no ISO 50? The original Sony (IX96?) 24mp sensor used in the Alpha77 had it but not this one, for some reason. I'm not very up on this new Sony sensor, there does not seem to be anything pubkished on it. Except anecdotal evidence from Dpreview that Ricoh had analy...
