K3 II AF...
Pentax has not been particularly proactive in pushing these sorts of improvements down the chain. The high res mode seems an easy addition to any camera with capable hardware, which is like down to the k100d. It would be interesting to see if this eventuates as a firmware update or not. Other b...

K3 II AF...
Hi Dave Thank you - yes I had come to that conclusion. However, IF they were to implement it in the way I suggested, it could utilise a much more rapid acting mechanism as you would only need to move the RGBG filter array and not the whole sensor BUT you might have fun and games keeping it very c...

They won't separate the two and it is over the sensor just like the old 'AA' filter. I was corrected by Mattmatic (I think it was). In theory the RGBG could be separated off and above I was just hypothesising an alternative!

That's right - it would require an incrediblay accurate shift mechanism to get each colour exactly re-aligned above each sensor pixel!!

I could see not having the fill flash for a more pro level full frame camera, but... Not to have the flash on a cropped sensor is just limiting the name further out of the market. I sincerely hope that the "more marketed to" professional level full-framer due out later this year is a better attem...

User feedback on K-S2
I've got one... LOVE IT. Yes it doesn't feel as nice as my K5ii but I've got used to it. The sensor is amazing and got me out of a scrape recently when my flash guns weren't powerful enough. It has a louder shutter than the K5ii but nothing extreme. Flip screen is really useful and I've been doing ...

User feedback on K-S2
Even including the shipping is debateable. If you live in the USA, you're likely to be able to buy Pentax products cheaper than most anywhere else. At times it's different, but on the whole that seems to be the common theme. Re the K-S2, how are people finding it? Bar the higher res/no AA filt...

User feedback on K-S2
The SR mechanism is always powered up and holding the sensor in place but only actively reducing shake when 'enabled' If you have to set sharpness to 10 to get a Sharp image, either your lenses are F/B focusing or the camera is faulty. When you say Pixel Peeping, are you zooming further than 10...

Pentax K3 II or Olympus OM-D EM-5 II?
Thanks, John - I thought maybe mirrorless Pentax users might be able to give me some info on their experiences, and there's some general questions in there about wi-fi, GPS etc that maybe people might be able to help me out with. Coming from an entry-level dSLR it is hard for me to decide in what 'w...

Pentax K3 II or Olympus OM-D EM-5 II?
The Olympus is a very lovely thing and would be a pleasure to own. I'm not a fan of the K3's design with its bulge on the front, but I'd rather have the Pentax, I think. I own and use an Olympus EPL1 which does take very good pictures but I'm not mad about the format of 4:3 files, much preferrin...

Pentax K3 II or Olympus OM-D EM-5 II?
Help me with my dilemma, please Well lets see what we can do: Manual focussing aids Pentax offers an optical viewfinder for manual focussing, it is a DSLR after all. Personally I don't find the viewfinder as effective as the older film equivalent SLRs, so I myself have not had as much success ...

Pentax K3 II or Olympus OM-D EM-5 II?
Some great replies so far, thank you! But now you've given me even more choices, that wasn't supposed to happen! XD hogboy, I use entirely old glass with no AF capability so having to manual focus for all lenses is not a big issue for me - I'll never be shooting sports etc so I've never really mi...

Pentax K3 II or Olympus OM-D EM-5 II?
You do seem to have some conflicting aims, or at least it's not always perfectly clear what is your main objective with your upgrade plans ....is it more compactness, lighter weight, ruggedness and durability..... .?? The K3 is not a 'small' camera, yet you consider it alongside other smaller form f...

Pentax K3 II or Olympus OM-D EM-5 II?
Yeah, the trouble is I have more than one objective, really. I mainly use my k-m out and about, I very rarely use it indoors. But the reason I do have the freedom to use it out and about as much as I do is because it is smaller than the other Pentax dSLRs (I know the KS-2 is the same size almost as ...

Pentax K3 II or Olympus OM-D EM-5 II?
Reading the above, I'd be tempted to sell all your Olympus gear and Pentax body and buy a newer Pentax, either K-S2 if size is an issue, or K-3/K-3ii if not. Get a kit lens with them, the WR 18-55 or the newer weird collapsible one if size is an issue, and use that as your work horse lens. It's ...

Pentax K3 II or Olympus OM-D EM-5 II?
I'm planning to borrow an Olympus EM-1 this weekend under the Test and Wow scheme at my local camera dealer - it uses the same sensor and EVF as the EM5 mk II. I'm taking it to a place that I've shot with Pentax before so I can compare the images. I'll let everyone know how I get on! As an ex-Pentax...

K-S2 Revew on CNET
I kind of agree with you Richard but then we are not the norm, most buy the kit one other lens or the two lens kit and happily shoot Jpeg for ever! Me like you shoot RAW and want to squeeze every bit of goodness out of that sensor that it's possible to get, for people like that the Jpeg quality is i...
