Tried a K-S1 today...
Thanks Jules for that report! Its a tricky one this k-S1. It's sensor specs and the price to pay for that puts it very much in the category of an obvious quality upgrade for someone like myself ... A big jump in IQ potential for a very reasonable price ... But ... The camera is targeted at the less ...

K50 is two years old, I fully expect it to be upgraded! If they bung the new sensor in it I'll no doubt try one, I reckon it would be enough camera for most? if I can swing it I think I'd like one but may have to wait until the K3 gets refreshed for another body. I have to say though with the lig...

Agreed, quite exciting to think the K30/50 replacement could have a 24MP sensor minus the AA filter, with all the benefits such as a weathe...

K50 is two years old, I fully expect it to be upgraded! Has it stopped taking excellent photos? Agreed, quite exciting to think the K30/50 replacement could have a 24MP sensor Is a 16MP now not enough? Are we just being fed upgrades to sustain the business??

Are we just being fed upgrades to sustain the business?? New models are essential to maintain the business, otherwise there would be no supply in the future as companies simply went bust. The problem now is maintaining growth as the market for good DSLRs becomes saturated. They are all good enoug...

Yep, Canikon, are a triumph of marketing over necessity! They have most of the big players on the net onside in one way or another too, Re: the Dpreview coverage of Photokina, they couldn't resist a dig a Pentax.

K-3 dynamic range and latest ACR
Hi, I've been considering the K3 as a replacement for my K5. What strikes me about Dx0 Mark is the higher scores they give quality lenses for the K5 MkIIS and the even higher ones still for the K3 gainst the K5. I assume something has to give cramming so many more pixels on the sensor. I wonder w...

k10
I came from a K100d to a K30 and I've noticed so many little improvements that it's hard to just say it's better for just this reason or that. Given the run out type pricing that seems to be happening on the K-50 (well in the US at least) I'd be tempted to take a closer look. Yes the shutter is ...

Pentax K50 plus Pentax DA 55-300mm f4-5.8 ED WR lens.
I'd add to please feel free to post any questions you may have with your new gear. Any uncertainties or wonderings about functions/setups and behaviours etc. There are quite a few with this combo who would be happy to comment if it helps you out. For example mine did the sensor shake when i...

Pentax K50 plus Pentax DA 55-300mm f4-5.8 ED WR lens.
Thanks for that richandfleur. I'm sure that I 'll have quite a few questions so I'll certainly ask them. I remembered about the sensor shake thing from three /four years ago when I had the K-r. I thought that I'd broken it after only having it for about an hour!:oops:

Found this over on the US forum; http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/6-pentax-dslr-discussion/275602-composition-adjustment-sensor-shift-you-using.html Anyone tried it here?

Anyone tried it here? Not yet... but certainly will! Who needs tilt-n-shift lenses :? Matt

Using sensor shift
I have used it in macro work and its brilliant for making that final composition when the tripod head/ focus-rail is a bit fiddly and inexact for the position you want. Not tried for perspective shift though - be interesting to try it out sometime!

Using sensor shift
I've used it since k-7 and yes works fine, within limited boundaries. Better than nothing! I can't remember why I stopped using it though, I think it was having to reset it after every photo through the menu system? Can't remember offhand.

Using sensor shift
I saw a demo of this where it was really useful when you couldn't physically back up any further to fit the subject in shot. Seemed a great use of the pentax sensor shift system. Wonder if it could be automated actually, for the reasons nass has mentioned above. There is a very real chance that...

Help please. I'm a little confused with this. What does each of the movements, up, down, left, right, and the front wheel achieve. which way do you move what and what are the effects? CHEERS Vic.

Using sensor shift
Vic, Assuming the camera is in landscape orientation... Up arrow shifts the sensor up - effectively shifting the PoV higher. So if the verticals are tilting back (the normal situation when looking up at a building) then shifting up will correct the converging verticals. Down arrow shifts th...

John. Thanks. The link was OK. It tells you what to do and how to do it, but it assumes you know how to use a tilt & shift lens in the first place. Thanks anyway. Matt. Thanks. After the camera being in landscape the next sentence says it all. Opposites apply up/down, left/right. I just didn't k...
