K3 video - FullHD and HD differrence
It is a tricky one these definitions. I believe that 'HD' such as 1080x720 is best known as 'HD Lite' as shot by many consumer camcorders in the AVCHD format - these would have smaller sensors than your K3. 'Full HD', or better still 'HD' would be 1440x1080 or 1920x1440 - the difference is in the pi...

Thinking of a upgrade
My K-30 is in transit back to the UK for service. At the weekend I took the old K100d out and frankly really missed the new one. The image quality is better on the K-30 (which as others have mentioned is the same sensor as the K-5) but the whole thing is much faster, with bigger shot buffers, focu...

never had to clean the sensors on my K-5's the Hi Freq shaking works a lot better than the LF system on the older models

Sensor Cleaning, a new solution?
Pentax have been marketing for a while now, available from SRS and others. I bought one when a spot would not be removed by the high frequency shaking. It may seem expensive, but it is an intelligent buy if vibration doesn't work and you need to clean a sensor. I would be very wary of letting ...

Yikes, that looks massive! From his demo it looks good and easy. I bought a speckgrabber (which was the same era the Pentax version I think) a couple of years ago which looks like a mini version of that. It picked up dust nicely, but it did leave a residue that was visible in photos and about 4 time...

Sensor Cleaning, a new solution?
It picked up dust nicely, but it did leave a residue that was visible in photos and about 4 times the size of the original spot. I ended up having to wet clean the sensor to get rid of the mark. Still in my drawer if anyone wants it for a fiver? I presume you don't make your living in sales? :lol:

I have had one of those for nearly a year. Does it work? No idea, never used it :lol: Like Smeggy I have had no reason to clean the sensor on either the K-5II or 7D.

I've got the Pentax version mentioned above and, yes, it works. (Or worked - used mainly on *istDS rather than K5, haven't needed it for a while). No residue that I'm aware of. Tony

It looks quite impressive but I suspect a rocket blower would have shifted most of the dust. I haven't had to clean a sensor since the *istDS. £49.99 for the Pentax one seems a bit steep

Sensor Cleaning, a new solution?
Not quite sure how all that dab, dab, dab (and in the video he was pressing quite hard) is much easier than a wipe with a wet-clean swab. Not to mention the cost. After two years, my K-5 finally has a couple of dust spots that don't shift with the auto-clean, which I've had set to operate on s...

Sensor Cleaning, a new solution?
One thing I did see mentioned elsewhere, and I'm not sure if it's an issue for us, is to watch that you don't drag any lubricant/grease from off the sensor onto it when wiping. That seemed like a good point, but I'm not sure if there actually is anything too nasty off to the side or not anyway?

I have been using the Pentax sensor cleaning kit for several years, In fact i am on my second kit which i bought about 3 years ago. Nikon used to sell an identical one but with the gel yellow coloured instead of orange on the pentax one. It has worked extremely well and last for about 30 cleans but ...

I have to admit that of all I have owned, and the list is extensive.:shock: Over the the last five years: Canon 50D/7D/5DMKII, Sony:A77/850/A900, Nikon: D90/D200/300/300s/D700/D800/D800E/D3/D600x2/D7000, Pentax: K5x2,K5IIs/K3. The single digit K bodies have by far and away the best dust removal sy...

Sensor Cleaning, a new solution?
It is worth having some form of cleaning kit in your camera bag just in case of the unexpected. The reason i bought one msny years ago was that i was out photographing at sunrise when my Ist* DL sensor steamed up. I thought that if i gently blew on it it might clear, Unfortunately i allowed a bit of...
