New K-S1 First Impressions...What do people think?
It looks to have some good design features, such as the movie mode on the main on/off switch. And moving the mode dial to the rear of the camera is new. I'm on the fence with the body design. It looks good in white and black. But i really thought Pentax weren't into gimmicks and those LED's look th...

I'll be watching Samsungs NX1 closely... and hope Pentax does too... I hope this new sensor in Ks1 is able to deliver the goods in future models with 4k....

If that's the case then Pentax had best hurry up and put the sensor in a K3 body.:D

This seems to accelerate the trend of ever more capable sensors, high-end in fact, being used in bodies not targeted at the 'high end' sector of the market. It makes the cameras even better value - the question is, will such sensor capability & quality be wasted on the majority who might buy it?

New K-S1 First Impressions...What do people think?
Shame there are no high ISO shots so that we can see how well it handles noise. The sensor has not seen much use as of yet, so there is not too much to go on really, it would appear to be the successor to the 16Mp chip... Save for DR, A3000 didn't do too bad, so maybe Pentax can pull one out of t...

If that's the case then Pentax had best hurry up and put the sensor in a K3 body.:D I know you didn't get on with it Mike, but in my experience there's nothing wrong with that K-3 sensor. It produces superb quality images for me and I find it comfortably outperforms my K-5IIs. I'm a bit unsure why...

Honest assesment of K3 upgrade from K30
My take is a little different to most. Having had most of everything I have found that Pentax's K series is the Camera I end up hating the least! The K3 is head and shoulders the best of em. The only caveat to the whole system is the lenses, some of em just ain't.up to it in regards to the K3 sens...

pentax k3
Much was made of the K-3's focussing when it first came out, with regards to tracking specifically, as this is one of the main areas Pentax is knocked back in. As others say though, the ability to focus quickly seems fast enough with the K-30 and definitely the K-3 (with lenses looking like the rea...

pentax k3
Pentax Ricoh need to do three things as regards the K3 Two of which are actually relevant to the conversation here!:) 1: Make sure that the supposedly coming 100ish to 300 and a lot-ish, and the 70-200, and indeed any lens after that has a motor in it and is able to focus quickly, IE, shorten the ...

Full Frame So They Say
Another carrot being dangled a 70-200 one this time and again it's next year! Whilst loyal Pentax users await the Holy Grail other manufacturers are producing stunning cameras and, more importantly, modern high end lenses. Full frame apart, it’s time to see some decent kit (not promises) bein...

Full Frame So They Say
And Full Frame isn't about features you will never use, it's about using lenses that have very little distortion, sensors that are brilliant in low light or reproduce accurate skin tones. Having used a full frame camera I wouldn't go back to crop sensor cameras. Thank you, tonal range, colour rendit...

Don't think Mike P has a "Full Frame" model ... yet, well not up until last week anyway!:wink: Says the man who has had countless brands of camera body ... how many was it up until you got your K-3 back? :D Personally I would quite like to try full frame but most of my photography seems to requi...

Full Frame So They Say
I only have one wish and if it is fulfilled, I will die happy. Pentax have such a great lineup of APS-C lenses, it would be a shame to see that go to waste so... How about a 25MP full frame sensor 6144 x 4096 with a APS-C crop mode. In that mode, it essentially simulates a Super35 movie sensor th...

Full Frame So They Say
I think there's an interest in the larger sensor format in compact style bodies as well, and other types of system other than DSLR. I won't be looking to that myself ... With the BG4 grip attached the K7 is only just big enough for my tastes. If I'm going to upgrade to FF I at least expect to get a ...

Full Frame So They Say
rather than 6400 Or actually 1600 that the EXIF says :? At 10mm you could've gone much slower than 1/160s. I would've gone as low as ISO400, 1/40s at 10mm and had plenty of headroom for lifting shadows. (For this kind of setup I'd be using M mode with spot metering - but I keep an eye on all t...

Mirror/shutter flap on a K3 can someone describe please, I' m on my 2nd K3
It's interesting for me reading your post Daronl for a few reasons. 1) is that the K5ii from memory is one of the last of the pre Ricoh software/processor units. This is also the last to have satisfactory sensor stabilisation in video mode also. I just don't think their software is as polished ...
