K10 Upgrade advice required
Hello, Thanks for your recommendations I will look into the availability of the K5ii & K5iiS am I right in thinking that the K5iiS has the filter in front of the sensor removed and there is not much difference between them otherwise? Does that have the pc socket on it for Studio flash? I have ...

K10 Upgrade advice required
By all means acquire a K5 or one of its variants, but I urge you not to get rid of your K10. I have both cameras and, while I have neither the experience nor the ability of most forum members, I much prefer the handling of the K10 and the low ISO pictures from its ancient CCD sensor. Of cours...

K10 Upgrade advice required
The k7 was a significant upgrade option for owners of the older cameras when it came out in spring 2009. It moved things forward technologically with the sensor and the prime image processor and improved burst rates and low light autofocussing with its af assist beam. It offered an increase to 14.5M...

Jumping from K20D to K3
I still have a K20D and a K-7. I also have a K-3. The K-7 and K-3 ergonomics are about the same. Moving from the K20D to the K-7, the transition was rather easy for me. It might be different for other people having used only the K10D/K20D for a long period. That said, every camera was an ...

K3 remote release.
Indeed, I have a basic IR remote and an app on my phone that turns it into a remote control. The K3 has a big advantage over my old Kr in that it has a remote sensor on the back as well as on the front.

K3 remote release.
FWIW, I've used several cheap pistol grips with cable releases that plugged into the socket on the camera bodies but the plugs made very unreliable contacts in those sockets and were "laggy". What I would really have liked was a release with a transmitter that could be secured over the body sensor a...

Advice re Camera Choice
Hello again, as I mentioned on my Just Joined post I am looking for advice about my first digital slr. To set the scene I have been using Pentax film slrs for many years now with Fuji Velvia and other slide films. My present setup is quite simple, a MZ5N and a Sigma 28-135 lens. I also a Canon ...

Advice re Camera Choice
I was faced with this dilemma and was deciding between the K5 or K30 as a upgrade from my Kx and ultimately I plumped for the K30. My reasoning was that I was getting the K5 sensor in a smaller body with a newer Auto focus engine, focus peaking on the LCD and it was still weather sealed. I did...

K-30 random exposure failure issue
I've had enough of the issues with the k-30, and not impressed with Pentax Sadly I have to agree, so I've moved to Nikon and I've also found a company who can insure my camera incase anything goes wrong. No camera is invincible, but then none go as wrong as much as Pentax do. I have only owned Pent...

K-30 random exposure failure issue
The only problems I've had were my ESII failed electronically. but then it was already very heavily used when I purchased it from City Camera Exchange (or was it LCE still then.) I then purchased two MEs, an MX. and a KII (either second hand or new end of line stock.) One ME was stolen, the rest ...

learning curve on the K3
I've got the K3 and something that hasn't been touched on for camera users is that of learning curve. In this particular context what I mean is, is the control layout. My path of progression has been Canon Powershot superzoom, Pentax K-x, Pentax K30 and now a K3. The common feature here is ...

learning curve on the K3
The k30 has a different sensor mate... But your in for a nice little ride with the K3. The top lcd is something I've always had, but your right its really handy isn't it!

learning curve on the K3
The K30 was good, employing as it does the K3 sensor with improved focus Can only assume this should read "employing the K5 sensor"... Nice to hear your thoughts as your previous Pentax product path is similar to my own. Thanks.

learning curve on the K3
yeah, that was a typo on my part. I meant the K5 sensor. a few days on and I am getting more used to it. awesome camera. I like the way to change AF mode. that's good. lot of neat features and I'm very impressed with the cameras low light performance so far.

[Considering upgrade] Where else is K-3 strategically better than K-5IIs?
I don't personally consider 24mp sensor an advantage currently, due to bigger files size and poorer high ISO performance. I understand though that more pixels contribute positively to the overall video quality as well as some K-3's photographs will now probably appear sharper. But I do appreciate...

[Considering upgrade] Where else is K-3 strategically better than K-5IIs?
Without wishing to start going over old ground regarding high ISO noise performance, I think there are a couple of points worth mentioning when considering the comparison images Smeggy posted above. Firstly, the lighting is different in the K3 and K5 shots, there being more shadow evident in the ...

[Considering upgrade] Where else is K-3 strategically better than K-5IIs?
I haven't read the thread yet but from one post on your link it appears they are arguing over, amongst other things, if RAW data is affected by camera settings or not. Well for noise reduction it is. Actually, the discussion does touch on the fact that the K5 applies NR to its raw files above IS...
