My thoughts on the K30 and K3 for video
Thanks Richard, very helpful information as always. :) I think I can grasp the contrast concept now ... Obviously we don't want to blow it out at either end ... But colour seems more tricky . I mean, you say that it would be bad to reduce oversaturated tones in processing, sure ... But then, is it ...

My thoughts on the K30 and K3 for video
Surely the camera processor would have the best possible stab at this, as it is using the original pre -processed data ... Surely it could extract higher quality colour tones from that original sensor data than a computer program later on which is only using a compressed output that didn't have much...

Colour rendition on K52s vs K3
I've mentioned this many times before, using the K-5iis side by side with the K-3 it is clear to me that the K-3 is much warmer in tone and more akin to a CCD sensor in some ways. For working outside, landscape for example, I prefer the K-3's colour rendition. I suspect the K-5iis would be better...

Interesting?
I would simply like to see a 24-25ish megapixel FF sensor in pretty much the K3 body perhaps a tad bigger and the only extra feature I would want are user selectable crop modes in several increments ie 1.1x, 1.2x, 1.3x, 1.4x and 1.5x modes. I ask of this because some current lenses have image circle...

Toying on an upgrade
Can you advise on how it does at high ISO levels thank you for the feed back all. All the various DSLRs have been reviewed on ePHOTOzine and here (see the reviews section) and these reviews include ISO images. As a generalisation I'd use any recent Pentax DSLR up to ISO 1600 without any concerns...

Toying on an upgrade
The K-50 seems really well priced at the moment, maybe indicating a new model in that sort of category is coming soon. Its a pretty capable little camera, or the k-5iis also if you want the last of that range of cameras. As John says, either option is good if you don't want to spend a lot to get...

Toying on an upgrade
Of the various Pentax DSLRs I have owned I'd suggest the K-5IIs for your upgrade: Weather sealed and highly durable body, excellent IQ and better low-light performance than the K-3 in my experience (I have owned both). There are some favourably priced near-mint used examples around where owners have...

Why the upgrade
Wow, that's quite a question! Sue and I upgrade a camera because we fancy something that's new and want it, or because something better is released and we need it, or because something fails and needs replacing. Sometimes the first two coincide, so for example when I upgraded the Q to the Q-S...

Why the upgrade
I'm able to use a camera such as the Pentax K3 a good portion of the time, but with limitations - I frequently use it as a type of secondary camera system. I've upgraded for items such as: 1. Full frame sensor. 2. Higher MP count and/or better resolution 3. Better optics; wider views on full f...

Why the upgrade
I upgraded from a K10, of which I still have to a K3. I have been dabbling in astrophotography, and found I was getting some funky red colours on long exposures with the K10's CCD sensor. I picked a newer camera that also has live view as it makes focusing a lot easier. Has it helped me progress, ve...

The sensor choice should be interesting. Given the release date and also the fact that 16mp sensors are no longer being produced??

Thanks sledger. Its interesting, it looks cool and if it is compact-camera-collapsible then I see a lot of appeal for it as a kit lens for beginner DSLR shooters who don't want to feel intimidated by big lenses. People will definitely complain it isn't FF but I have already seen question to wheth...

Interesting...given the relative small size of it, my guess would be that this will be the K60/600 and intended as a replacement for the K50/500 probably with the 20MP sensor from the K-S1. It is pictured with the new 18-50 'compact' kit lens as well by the look of it. I'm guessing that the K-3 is i...

Well I itch and that "large diameter telephoto zoom" gives me hope that it is a 70-200mm f2.8 for a 35mm sensor.

Mic input, so a video feature advancement on the K-30/K-50 model. To work this will need audio level indication, otherwise you don't know if you are clipping your audio or recording too low. If they're investing in video features, then I hope they drop that 'Movie SR' rubbish in the bin where ...
