Pentax K7
the K20D and K-7, using the same sensor as your K10D, :?::?::?: The K10D has a 10Meg CCD Sony sensor. The K20D and K7 both have a 14.7 meg CMOS Samsung sensor.

K-3 Picture Quality
I love my K3, the colours and sharpness are great. High ISO noise reduction has been mentioned in some quarters, I have mine set to 'Low', but I shoot in RAW anyway, so this isn't a particular concern for me. I would recommend setting one of your memory cards to shoot RAW and the other JPEG. Also...

What's the deal with Pentax's Liveview?
What's the deal with Liveview on the K5? It seems that you can't auto focus in liveview without the camra dropping the mirror, and you only have the default focus grid available. Sounds very much like its using phase detection. If that's the case doesn't it just completely defeat the point...

What's the deal with Pentax's Liveview?
There are 3 autofocus modes for live view ... Phase detection, contrast (face), contrast (normal). You need to set these in the camera menu before activating LV. For most situations contrast (face) is good. Its slower than phase mode (where the mirror flips up to allow light onto the af sensor), but...

What do you think?
It's almost certain to be the case if Pentax produce a FF DSLR. The provision will be there to switch to APS-C so that crop sensor lenses can still be used.

I think John has a point, Pentax/Ricoh have a lot of crop sensor lenses and not that many which are Full Frame. A clue to the imminent arrival...

What do you think?
On the surface, applying automatic cropping at capture might seem like a pointless waste - why buy FF when you're going to cut a lot of it off. But I guess there is more to higher IQ on a bigger sensor then just additional pixels ... Also it will help many to make the move - it will be good to be...

K3 with older lenses
When I would be to buy a new K3 will I still be able to use my older lenses with it or will the sensor show the limits of these lenses? I mainly use the Pentax DA16-45, DA50-200 and my Sigma 50-500. I would like to upgrade to a newer body but I don't feel much like buying new glass to go with it.

Upgrade from K30 to K5iiS
The K30 was, and still is, the "best buy" Pentax DSLR with the Sony 16 Megapixel sensor. I personally don't think an upgrade to the K5iis will improve 99% of my images, although I accept there are times when I possibly miss out on some of the higher spec camera's features. I would spend the money...

Upgrade from K30 to K5iiS
I wouldn't swap my K5 either having moved up from entry level KX and KR models. So much more to the semi pro models BUT you have to own and use one over time to get it! I couldn't go back to say a K50 or upcoming K60 it would have to be a K3. Sensor cleaning, quiet shutter, top screen for me, wider ...

Upgrade from K30 to K5iiS
I have a K30 and I think it is a great camera, which is seriously underrated, particularly by Canon and Nikon owners at my local camera club, but I am working hard to show them the error of their ways. As always to get pin sharp, vibrant images straight out of the camera you need good glass in from...

Which Pentax DSLR
The K7/K5/ii series of cameras are built with a demanding, dynamic shooting style in mind. I mean strong for the outdoors and with quick access controls to key photographic features for the photographer who shoots in a dynamic way, responding quickly to changing light, subject motion, focussing need...

k30 sensor cleaning
been through a few Pentax cameras over the years, always happy to accept that they needed tlc once a year (or so) to remove the odd speck here and there. So was quite excited to learn that the k30 could at least partially vibrate the occasional bits of dust away from the sensor and maybe keep me con...

k30 sensor cleaning
The basic things are to change lenses in as dust free an area as feasible, turn off the camera whilst we do so and point the throat of the camera downwards during the process. This ensures that there's no charge on the sensor to attract dust and less chance of some particle falling into the camer...

k30 sensor cleaning
thanks John, but I'm ultra careful now, certainly more so than with any previous cameras and am probably unjustly nervous at trying to blow the dust away myself. I lifted the mirror last night to have a look but can't even see the offending particle.

k30 sensor cleaning
Sensor dust is a lot easier to see when magnified with a loupe This kit might be worth considering, although if you're the type who's nervous about blowing the dust away you're not likely to feel comfortable scraping at the sensor with a pen. So far all I've needed is a rocket blower. I limit...
