Why do you pick a Pentax DSLR over a point and shoot or cell phone? The answers to that question are typically why I want to pick a Pentax for video. Outside of the stills only features, such as pixel shift/ HDR modes, the Pentax offers a rugged body with weather sealing, great image quality, fo...

Most cameras are good these days. Fully agree. It's genuinely difficult to find a bad camera these days, especially in stills where the technology is well developed. There's very little in it in stills, and the comparisons seem quite nit picking over resolution abilities etc. The pixel shift is g...

pentax is known for releasing odd, eccentric one off models anyways. It would not kill the company and might even help to simply release a "V" or "Cinema" version of k70 and k1 just to shut me up. :D:D:D I'd genuinely be purchasing a K-70 if it addressed some of the points I mentioned above. I t...

You say these are just firmware issues but perhaps the processing power is simply not available to carry them out with video... Perhaps they should ask the Pentax Engineers from 2009/2010 how they did it with the K-x, K-7 and K-5 models? I can't know the specifics of why they haven't improved, be...

The simple and cost effective changes should certainly be implemented. By cost effective I mean that pay for themselves in increased sales and profit. The video functions in DSLRs mostly latch onto existing technology inherent in the sensor and physical design, so there should be no compromise in...

Somehow I wonder whether Pentax would ever think that a customer who's been with the brand for 30 years would ever want more sophisticated video features ?!? It's interesting to consider that video from DSLR's started around 2008/2009 and Pentax was right in there with the k-7. k-x and k-5 cameras, ...

What if you want them to be as good as they were? Well I can’t so no to that but I honestly think they poured all available resources into the K-1. And those resources are limited so choices had to be made. Personally I really hope — and Pentax through interviews have alluded to this — that they ...

The K70 seems more video orientated, along with the new 55-300mm lens, so perhaps there's some hope for our videographers? I am paying attention to this one incase they add some video codecs to make it more pro spec, there are other cameras with (presumably the same sensor) shooting decent video... ...

For fun try The Sensor Noise DB on www.brendandaveyphotography.com. With the drop-down menu you can compare different models; the K-1 betters the likes of Nikon D810 and Canon 5DS by a long way and stands up well against low light specialist the Nikon D4.

Going back to the 4K video issue, apparently a major factor is the heat generated; Fuji models with 4K have a heat sink which increases weight. The Nikon D5 limits the 4K clips to 3 minutes. So it's not a simple software tweak as some claim, it requires a dedicated structure which would increase wei...

Referring to the noise site, man that K-5 still punches well above it's weight, even today. Video wise, Pentax shouldn't be looking at 4k any time soon. They need to get the basics right before they tackle something like that. Otherwise they'll just get hammered for it. On that note I'm in...

Which Pentax DSLR Would Be Best For Me?
The K3 and I guess its update is slightly heavier than the K5, double card slot, microphone jack socket etc. the move towards electronic control mean a new AF mode button and one or two move arounds of functions. The top models all bring better quieter (might be the mag alloy body) longer life shutt...

K3 Vs K3 Mk.11
Already committed to a K3mk2, and yes the D800E is FF, that is the second FF camera and quite honestly I will not miss the advantages over crop sensor. I will be following all those who have invested in the K1, some apparently appear to be trying to raise funds by selling kit

Dark screen on trying to review image's. What's this please?
If it's faulty manufacturing they should repair it FREE and without a time limit. Sony repaired a lot of cameras sold by other makes covering a 5 year period, but the 5 year limit was set by Sony themselves. I had a Minolta F300 which was effected, but it still worked so I never sent it back. See...

Buying another body
36MP would be great but believe if the lens I'm using on a K-1 at the time isn't full frame, then I'd get about the same as the K-3? Crop mode on the K-1 gives approximately 16MP (about the same as a K-5), not 24MP. A full frame sensor has about 2¼ times the surface area of APSC. :)

Buying another body
My take is most cameras are great these days. Seriously, the sensor tech has come a long way now. Now that Pentax has the K-1 you have another tool available to you, should you require it's strengths. Basically the bigger the sensor, the better the camera tends to do in low light. Pentax off...
