K-S2 Revew on CNET
I accept that many people buying this camera will not know anything about RAW or much about image ' development', and for them the look of what ' comes out' of the camera is clearly important ... If it doesn't look good straight away then the camera's no good, right ... ? The problem with camera ...

K-S2 Revew on CNET
I fully agree with both of the above comments guys. Fundamentally it's a really solid offering, the best of this type of thing I've seen in a while from Pentax. Any camera is going to be a mix of components and design intentions/philosphies. This mix seems pretty well targeted to be honest. ...

645z and the production company were so excited to start with anticipating the benefits of the larger MF sensor. Sums up as a huge let down by the end.

Russ, in several ways the K-5 was better for video than anything newer. It had real mechanical sensor stabilisation and less compressed video files.

Russ, in several ways the K-5 was better for video than anything newer. It had real mechanical sensor stabilisation and less compressed video files. I was always quite impressed (for an undemanding user) how well my K5 did video. Nothing challenging but it looked good to me. Can't remember the corre...

What 'classic' digital pentaz SLR would you recommend
My favourite is the K5-IIs, the detail it can achieve is wonderful. I have a K3, but can not get away with it. A lot of people recommend the old K10 for is colour rendition they say it's down to the CCD sensor compared to the CMOS type used in later models.

The digitals clearly (?) fall into happy and more workhorse type categories. I'd not want to say enthusiast and pro etc as it's way too subjective. Right along though you'll find the ones with the extra buttons on the body for changing focus type (centre, wider area, whole frame) and metering mo...

K10 or, for something lighter and simple, but with the same sensor, K200. At low ISOs nothing can touch that old sensor. It's also lovely to hold and use and, in my opinion, even better built than the K5. Mine still feels like new and performs as well as as it's ever done, but, sadly, it's not an...

What 'classic' digital pentaz SLR would you recommend
i have to agree with you andrew there is somthing about a k10 and to be honist i dont think anyone can put there finger on it No, Stu, you're quite right. It's hard to quantify or put into words which makes one look a bit daft but there it is. I don't actually think Pentax has ever produce a "b...

Another vote for the K10 (or at least the Samsung GX10 variant, which I assume is pretty much identical). I've got a few GX10 prints on my walls and, at reasonable ISOs, the quality is as good as the output from my GX20 and K30. But there's a subtle difference -- that magical quality that seems to c...

In relation to the relative merits of sensors, there is an interesting site which compares ccd and cmos sensors.http://www.reddotforum.com/content/.../the-great-debate-ccd-vs-cmos-part-1/8) He found out more or less what I did........................................ I found that having my left sho...

k5 issue
It can be a misaligned mirror; in that case the composition that you see in the viewfinder will be (slightly) different from the composition in the captured image. It can also be that the PDAF sensor or image sensor is slightly out; I've seen this being reported once or twice. Adjusting the image...

Very interesting article for those who are Pentax and believe in Pentax
Interesting to some degree in that the astrotracing ability has been there for a very long time now, IF you purchased the dongle, which is the same issue they knock Nikon for charging extra for, which is what Pentax had done for a long time too. The only big change here is it's now built in, which ...

Very interesting article for those who are Pentax and believe in Pentax
The article was interesting in some ways and it is nice to see someone highlighting the benefits of Pentax, but I think it rambled on a bit too. An interesting point is raised by richandfleur above regarding the weather sealing, sensor shift on stills and decent AF for non-moving subjects. It seem...

Very interesting article for those who are Pentax and believe in Pentax
The Pentax focus thing is interesting. I suppose it depends on what you're photographing but I went to Derbyshire and Staffordshire at the weekend and took an embarrassingly large number of pictures, most in dim light, some of which featured moving objects and people. None were out of focus. Non...

K5 AF issue resolved
Just for reference purpose for those who are interested, after a year of senseless tests and 1000's of photos wasted, I finally resolved my focus issues with he k5. I originally thought it was my 16-50 but thankfully enough Pentax Italy in Turin verified through the computer system they have there t...

Ricoh AF Patent
I had a look at the picture in the original link and think I understand what is being proposed. In a traditional autofocus system, the light enters, and some passes through the primary mirror, is reflected of the secondary mirror and down into the autofocus assembly. I believe the secondary mirro...
