Sensor Cleaning, a new solution?
For cleaning on the fly the visible dust electostatic brushes seem to have some cadre but I sold minehere to a fellow forummer, as with a Pentax I have found that the Cameras own cleaning system was just as effective, He had some very very stubborn dust which the brush eventually removed. Pollen is...

Sensor Cleaning, a new solution?
I bought the Pentax version a long time ago, when I had the K10D I think. The best thing about it was the name... O...ick! :lol::lol::lol:

Why are the reds so awful?
There are two things I think. First, over-exposure will burn out the sun to bald white. The sun is so much brighter than the landscape that it can't be easily reproduced at that size in the frame. Don't point your camera for long into the sun either - protect your sensor and your eyes. Second...

News Item from AP
What drew me to stay with Pentax was getting far more bang for my buck at the time of the K-30. I viewed Canons 600D range and Nikons equivalent but saw better specs than these in the Pentax. Honestly a lot of the product side line developments confuse me, such as the Q and K-01 and MX-1. I susp...

How many people actually need weather sealing?
The seals also helps keeps dust out of lens and body complementing the superb ultrasonic sensor cleaning on the higher models.

Sensor cleaning
Just about all my cameras are showing signs of dust on the sensor. I have cleaned them before using the wet system from the site here. However the system is quite costly and I wonder how members managed to keep the equipment clean and if there are any new products worthy of a mention. http://www.ca...

Sensor cleaning
I use an Artic Butterfly, easy to use, a dry clean and have found one of benefits is less cleaning is needed, prob clean the sensor twice a year.

Sensor cleaning
Arctic Butterfly for stuff that isn't stuck, wet clean if it's stuck. I've still got the fluid and swabs I bought from the site the OP cites. The K-5 is better than the K10D for sensor dust, but now after more than two years, I've finally got a couple of spots that won't shift, so I'll be gett...

I don't know how many times it needs to be repeated FORGET ABOUT MOIRE (unless you photo textiles for a LIVING) :D If you can, try and stretch for the K5IIs, you will feel a lot more satisfied with the picture quality. I have been running a 6D along with my K5 & K5IIs for the past couple of w...

It would be easy reading a lot of this to think we were talking about completely different cameras, with different sensors. Of course we're not - its exactly the same sensor and an identical camera, with one exception - lack of aa filter in front of one sensor. This only changes one element - it ...

McGregNi, that long post was one big contradiction. I'm saying you don't need to process the images as much which has numerous benefits, especially for people who don't want to fanny around with the images. If the raw image from the sensor is sharp because it hasn't had a filter (of dubious worth...

I agree Gary, for many users the extra expense will not give any appreciable gain. But I also think some users will find some gain - it depends on your processing approach. The key to all this is identifying where you fall personally. That was the purpose of my own image testing and reporting. T...

Glad to have enticed you back :) When I say equal or equalised I am talking about visible differences to the two images, side by side at high magnification. My testing showed such 'equalisation' at certain stages in the processing chains (as I've detailed a bit above). I also mean that the images ac...

Is the AA filter an element that can be removed from any recent Pentax camera? ie can one (if so motivated) opt to create a K5s, or K-30s model by removing said filter component? Or is it a treatment/baked or fused onto another required component? Just wondering, no reason... My understanding...

Mac I would take no notice of people who don`t own the two camera`s you are interest in, only listen to the one`s who do. Unless you think they are lying to justify there purchase, which some people seem to be inferring.:?: I would keep the KR, unless it is holding you back. IMHO the KR`s sens...

Personally this reinforces the now relatively small incremental improvements happening in the sensor technology these days. If you you'll see we've not really progressed much in the last 4 years or so on this single particular aspect. (To be clear, I'm NOT saying the cameras have not progressed a...

This thread is less a thread than a cat's cradle. It started with an innocent question, though I'm still a little surprised that the OP didn't hear the snorting of the bull as he dropped his red rag. The differences under discussion are small -- not necessarily unimportant, but not fundamental eithe...
