Asking a favour form anyone who owns a K5iiS and a K3

Thanks, Jules! For night shots I shoot everything in manual, including focus, though I'm hoping the K5iis might auto-focus on city lights; my Fuji X20 does. The GR has the excellent infinity focus feature, so focus isn't an issue. With the GR, I'm finding I'm getting better results by under-ex...

Asking a favour form anyone who owns a K5iiS and a K3

Well, we're definitely focusing minds here now Jules :D. Expose to the right I guess will head towards blown highlights of course. From what I have gathered from other user reports the big 'thing' of the K5 series was shadow detail recovery - so you could shoot at 'average reflectance', keeping an e...

P.S. Smeggy I'm not the one saying you are biased against the K3, I know you're not :) I actually think you'd quite like one but you really need a Nikon DF having shot one the other day, I would say even for your purposes it's just about ISO-less but I'm not allowed to discuss that here. How do...

Asking a favour form anyone who owns a K5iiS and a K3

I'm hoping for a K50 (K60) replacement that comes weather sealed/100% viewfinder, with a less demanding sensor but have slightly watered down versions of all the K3's new features, would make for a great second shooter, for me but I think we'd be looking at the new Sony 20Mp chip as they are no long...

K10d, K7,K5

Someone asked what's different between that K5 and K5ii/s versions. By all accounts it seems to be the focusing speed or engine and the low light focussing abilities. Fundamentally it seems pretty darn similar, making the present K5 prices pretty stunning really. That's correct, there is also a sl...

http://www.chassimages.com/forum/index.php?topic=196585.0;wap2 In French but can be translated easily... Just to get the rumor mill flowing...:lol: K-60 and K-600 are successors to current K-50 and K-500, but borrowing lots of tech from the K-3. K-600 comes with a 16MP sensor. K-6...

Full Qoute: 2014 Pentax will have a range of four SLR K, all recent. The K3, KL to the retro look, K60 and K600. Ricoh would decline the advanced of the K3 in the lower boxes, with a simplified version of the RGB meter adopted by three enclosures, an AF module simplified 10 collimators for th...

Assuming this is all true .... K-L is, apparently, a ‘retro styled’ DSLR, also sports a 20 MP sensor. If they make it the actual size of an SLR,say the size of a Pentax Super A, which I'm holding in my hand right now and so wishing the K-5 was that compact ( and it's FF ) then they'll have a ...

Hmm A7 YES! D800 NOOOOOO!!! D800 sensor is in no way better than the K5 and not as good as in the K3 either, Alright I just don't like it... A7r is better but that just goes to show what can be done when there is actually something to compare to, I just think that the A7r found Nikon Out! Niko...

I have no particular desire for a KL, although I know many do, because I don't see the point in buying something just because it looks like something from the past. This may seem like a contradiction as I've been enthusiastic about my MX-1, but that enthusiasm isn't because it pays lip service to...

K3 purchase now on hold Yes, I'd certainly be spitting feathers if I bought one, and then the -60 range was swiftly followed by a K-3 Mk 2, with significantly improved high-ISO performance. I realise it would need another new sensor for that, probably, but even that isn't impossible.

Much better Translation... In 2014 Pentax will have a range of four reflex cameras, the K3; the KL retro, the K60 and the K600. Pentax is keeping the most advanced features for the K3 , with a simplified exposure system from the K3 used for the new models and a 10 point AF sytem for the K60 ,whils...

Hi Jules, thanks for the information. Are there any details on the 20Mp sensor? It will be interesting to see how dynamic range and high ISO noise stack up against the K3 sensor. Regards - Steve
