Horizon correction - what are the downsides?
Okay, I'm reporting back my experience from last night attempting some straight-out-of-the-camera shots. Horizon Correction - forget it. On my K5-IIs it usually seems pretty accurate for single shots but varies a bit between shots and is all over the place when it comes to bracketed (e.g. HDR) a...

K7 - K5 - worthwhile upgrade???
Hi Mark, Yes they do look very similar. The K5 will bring you excellent low light performance due to its better sensor and there are some bargain ones around. Otherwise if you are happy with your K7 though perhaps you might look to expand your lens set depending on your interests.

K7 - K5 - worthwhile upgrade???
If the Budget will stretch I would go for the K5 lls, same sensor as the K5 so the same high ISO performance, but the removal of the aliasing filter brings so much more detail.

K7 - K5 - worthwhile upgrade???
:D Joking aside, it's well known that I value the superb image capture control aids, handling, strength etc that the K7 shares with its successors, just as much as the sensor performance. I'm still getting so much out of my K7 and am very satisfied with its results, so the advice to look at better...

If the Budget will stretch I would go for the K5 lls, same sensor as the K5 so the same high ISO performance, but the removal of the aliasing filter brings so much more detail. I'd second that view :!: I upgraded rom the K5 to the K5iis and it improved what was already a superb camera into an alm...

K7 - K5 - worthwhile upgrade???
I've just bagged a new AF-540FGZ WRII bargain from SRS :) That's the upgrade funds used for now .... Really though, for my personal 'low-light' photography needs, that 2nd wirelessly controlled flashgun will offer far more image quality improvement than any new cameras higher sensor capability !

K7 - K5 - worthwhile upgrade???
I love my K3 but was very tempted by the K5 II. The K5 should give you a much better sensor than in the K7, but I understand the K5 AF was still not great and that this was vastly improved in the K5 II.

K7 - K5 - worthwhile upgrade???
I had a K5 for three years before upgrading to the K3 this year. It was a brilliant camera AND the AF was fine for me on most lenses so I can not agree. They upgraded it with a bigger, lens array for AF for the MkII and put the same in the K3 whcih gave it better (very) low light capability where it...

K7 - K5 - worthwhile upgrade???
Its a massive step up. I went from K-7 to K-5iis. Most of it is the same, controls body etc. the K-7 was good in that regard. The big improvement is the sensor. Its a different league. The K-7 could perform very well in good light and conditions. The K-5iis will make the best of any situati...

The K-5 mk1 will still be a massive leap in sensor performance.

K7 - K5 - worthwhile upgrade???
The K-5 mk1 will still be a massive leap in sensor performance. Without doubt....I went K20 - K5 - K3 The sensor in the K20 and K7 is similar if not the same I believe. The amount you can push the shadows in the K5 is amazing, with very little trace of pattern noise, unlike the K20 which needed mor...

K7 - K5 - worthwhile upgrade???
The K-5 mk1 will still be a massive leap in sensor performance. Certainly will. I was immediately impressed when I got my First K-5 ( previously had a K-20D ) - I haven't seen such a leap in quality since. K3 is worse at high ISO. I currently own a K-5 and a K-5IIs. no difference in IQ to worry ...

Any new FF gossip
Ricoh displayed a 3D model mock up at a show - a lump of non functioning black plastic. They acknowledged that they were indeed working on a FF camera. That's about it. Rumours have included a bunch of specs, and what sensor is going to be used. I'm not sure if any of that was formally annou...

Dust on sensor
Despite being scrupulously careful when changing lenses, leaving the camera body exposed for a minimum time and removing the lens caps just as I attach the lens, some specks were appearing on the photos. I tried the in-camera sensor dust removal but that didn't shift them and of course leaves the du...

Dust on sensor
I know others regularly clean their own sensors very successfully but I just live with the filth and clone out the specks. Later cameras (K5 is as late as I go) are much better, I find, than the earlier ones like the K100D. I never change lenses outside, sticking with what's on the camera all da...

Dust on sensor
I have been very lucky, though I am careful too - even point the camera downwards when changing lenses, in all the time I've been shooting digital and with all the various cameras I have I have only had the following: 1) Canon G10 compact - had a lot of years of severe battering - falling on conc...

Dust on sensor
Always cleaned mine myself, usually after a summer spent at many festivals they are due a clean. I use pre soaked swabs I bought from eBay, work a treat.

Dust on sensor
I frequently run across incredible deals on used camera bodies; everything from camera bodies that are one a few hundred -to ones (medium format) where the sensor alone is worth in excess of ten thousand. The single largest item I come across is how the sensors are effected. I've seen more than a...

Dust on sensor
I don't think 'dust' is a sensor defect or can render a sensor 'beyond repair'.. Dust bunnies reveal themselves at high f numbers (small aperture) they are more noticeable where there is less detail in the scene to hide them, but they can still show up. I don't think any sensor is unprotected by ...
