Full Frame teaser - Spring 2016!
Johnriley wrote: Where all this falls down is when we consider the number of pixels. Yes, a FF sensor will have more pixels when the camera position is the same and yes the image remains the same for all formats, but in real life the FF sensor does not have more pixels. So taking the bike imag...

Full Frame teaser - Spring 2016!
Just as MF Roll film (6x6 etc. ) had an unexplainable one stop greater tonal range on the Grey Scale than 35mm. 24MP FF cameras such as the A7 can produce much better results than 24MP APS-C. For this reason Pentax need to release TWO cameras. -- Correct. Cannot find link yet. Nikon has pu...

Full Frame teaser - Spring 2016!
If we look at the great photos taken in medium format then that gives an idea of how much detail (and thus cropping options) can be obtained from a larger sensor with more pixels. However I don't think we will resolve this issue until an enterprising member gets their hands on an FF and tries out th...

I've got a lousy cold and ache all over. In particular my head aches and all this techno-blurb is making it worse. Its left me worrying whether my crop sensor brain will be able to cope with FF when Pentax eventually release it. David

K 50 focus problem?
I am currently holidaying with a 3 month old K50, which has about 2000 shutter activations, and it has intermittently started to refuse to focus. I am using a Sigma 17-70 lens. There seems to be no pattern . It occurs in good light, with no particular subject. I have tried different AF patterns, m...

K-m Power on issue
My beloved K-m will no longer power up, I've tried the usual, new batteries, taking the card out, cleaning the battery terminals, but nothing has worked. Is it worth getting repaired, or is it toast? I love the camera, it does everything I need (or it did when it worked), I love the fact it ta...

K-3 II I've taken the plunge and the risk
I did the same thing a couple of months ago (bought a K3 II), quite unintentionally; because when the FF launch was delayed; I couldn't wait till next year and had passed on a Canon FF to my daughter some months earlier, which I could'nt extract from her grip. So with the delay announced and a...

K-3 II I've taken the plunge and the risk
I've also noticed that flash setting need a lot of adjustment when not using the brand labels on cameras such as Pentax and Sony. Depending on items such as subject and distance... One has the option of adjusting the flash output via the flash itself (although a bit harder on units such as the Pe...

K-3 II I've taken the plunge and the risk
It is a lovely camera and IQ is stunning even with the APS sensor, so the long awaited Pentax FF will have to offer something pretty special for me this is where I'm at... desperately trying to resist the K-3ii to see what the FF brings... but the K-3ii may still be what I move to in the long term ...

K-3 II I've taken the plunge and the risk
I'm sure you've made the right decision. When the full frame Pentax is released it will certainly be very expensive, far more than the K3 is selling for at the moment. If you feel you have out-grown your K30, that 24mp sensor is a good one and you'll be able to make very big prints with it and/or cr...

A Ks1 in blue is available for around £205..... I am tempted..... Uh oh.....
Down to the £200 mark or so from what looks like a reputable German ebay dealer/shop. Huge +ive feedback. I am tempted by this now as I doubt it's ever going to get cheaper and would go nicely with my K5 and seems tailor made for the 35mm 2.4. Or the 40mm, really compact for general traipsing rou...

Indeed I am, though I should be working... K-S1 It's a pentax with a smaller/non existent grip and a small buffer. (On RAW + JPG I get about 4 shots before it starts hesitating, and that's with a fast SD card.) There's honestly nothing more to say about it. It's not weather sealed. Yes...

Revisiting this, I got one as the price was right. It was never my intention to own one of these and I did my fair share of slagging it off when it was announced. The thing is though, that now it's fallen to a much lower price point, it fairs exceptionally well against the competition. It's st...

I think that's what I am interested in. Same as with the K-01 I used to have, very good performance but seemingly unloved and therefore could pick them up for relative peanuts! There is a K5 IIS at SRS but it's £350 and I would rather wait and see what comes of the APSC flagship after the FF has app...

It's a queer looking thing but read any review and the bottom line is the excellent image quality from what is a very good sensor. The price is almost too good to be true for a quality DSLR but I don't use my existing "big" cameras much any more so I'm being a good boy. For once.

Interestingly our family has 3 KS-1's, My twin daughters got one for their birthday last year. They were the special editions, a blue Soda and Strawberry kits (good price as well)- sound a lot worse than they look in the flesh. In fact I think the original adverts for these made them (colours) ...

Firmware updates fix known glitches or bugs and make the cameras compatible with newer hardware components. Pentax maybe makes fewer firmware updates because there is less new hardware coming out compared to Canon/Nikon. Firmware updates don't bring any new features, they just make the camera work w...

This is surely the right time to buy a camera: when the price has fallen this low. It would be hard to find another new machine that would take pictures as well as this one does. That sensor is very good. Of course, you'd have to put up with the looks of the thing and the handling but these drawback...
