Believe me, the ordered and adult discussion has been invaluable.......This OP saw it coming...! All the best MacThis 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 d...

What size for raw please?
No it's not. RAW is the unprocessed data that an image is made from, the software you choose to use takes that data and adapts it as you tell it to, then you choose to 'save as' the image type that you want to use. A RAW file is still an image file. i.e a series of binary numbers that denote an imag...

What size for raw please?
To add to the confusion, apprently RAW comes in diffrent file sizes :? RAW file sizes can vary depending upon the resolution of the sensor and the ISO used.

Auto Focus Stacking
...That would be useful, and I suppose it would be possible as the sensor moves around anyway...

Auto Focus Stacking
betty's post mentioned the sensor moving. Yes, but that has nothing to do with focusing. (Unless you have a 45 degree mirror in front of your lens. When it might. Marginally. Perhaps).

The Best DSLR for Everyone
Without wanting to make any assumptions about individuals, I have been pondering what aspects of a camera may be more likely to appeal to different photographers. It can't all just come down to price alone - manufacturers must surely consider different types of user in desiging their range and decid...

Native ISO of a CMOS sensor.
I think he may be confused. 200ISO was the native ISO for CCD sensors, still is really. I am sure that the native ISO for CMOS is 100ISO. Mind you in reality, it all depends on the make and model of the camera. For instance the Native ISO for Canon is 100ISO, Nikon around 160ISO. Leica Monochro...

Native ISO of a CMOS sensor.
Does seem somewhat erroneous from an informed commentator. Surely if you conducted a pole herein asking people if the light was available would they shoot at 100 or 200 the vast majority would say 100.....

Native ISO of a CMOS sensor.
Surely if you conducted a pole herein asking people if the light was available would they shoot at 100 or 200 the vast majority would say 100..... You'd need a poll to establish that, but I routinely use ISO 400 with cameras from the K-5 onwards.

Manual focus lenses on Pentax K-5 II
I'm a bit confused with Steve's last comment. As far as I understood AF in a DSLR it uses a separate path to an AF sensor normally situated at the bottom of the camera under the mirror and is not affected by the focus screen. I thought the focus screen is only required for manual focussing and even ...

Manual focus lenses on Pentax K-5 II
kh1234567890, I am really interested to know how you find the ee-s screen with slower glass. Generally, I do use legacy fast/ fastish leneses, probably 70% of the time. However the remaining 30% is with slower lenses. The reports are mixed, with many stating that the screen should be ruled out for t...

Kamera Quandaries (Apologies for that title:oops:...read on if you can bear to!) I took my K system, consisting mainly of a K5 and a DA12-24, a DA*16-50, a DA*50-135, a DA*60-250, and a DA*200, with me on a recent extended holiday abroad. (I am retired and can holiday abroad quite a lot, particular...

There seems to be a plethora of options for your needs. Depending on the focal ranges that you need. Option 1 The Q system as already mentioned. Small, light, cute and flexible. But due to small sensor the "creative" shallow DOF looks won't be there. Is that important or not? Option 2. 18-13...
