New 'KP' more of a K5/K3 than an entry model
It would have to have 14 bit (or is it 16?) RAW files, excellent sensor performance, and great FPS to take the place of the K-3ii in the line-up. The ISO range is between 100 and 800000 according to some reports. The top FPS is around 10 which makes it faster than the K-3. It's an interest...

New 'KP' more of a K5/K3 than an entry model
I actually feel a bit relieved, because if KP proved to be an upgraded version of K-3II with solid-integrated "Canon 1 series" style battery pack/grip and Blutooth/WiFi, I would probably really struggle with my resistance and would promptly get it, but KP looks more like a novelty camera, which coul...

New 'KP' more of a K5/K3 than an entry model
The front dial seems completely new, there's nothing like that on anything before .... It has a K1 kind of shape. Very interesting, I am looking forward to seeing some spec details. Early Pentax SLRs did have a front dial, interestingly there was one on the Asahi Pentax AP. As someone pointed ou...

New 'KP' more of a K5/K3 than an entry model
No GPS It is the K3II replacement or as near as you'll get because it'll not be allowed to tread on the K1's shoes in any way. After all, we have a hierarchy now don't you know? Looks good to me and it's the newest version of the Sony 24MP sensor New autofocus algorithms (Yawn) (That ones for M...

New 'KP' more of a K5/K3 than an entry model
I agree with the retro description for the KP, but the flagship Pentax is still the K-1 (or K3ii if discounting FF.) A flagship description makes it sound like top of the range, which it isn't. If we're heading down that route, wouldn't that be the 645Z? It's an interesting discussion in terms o...

New 'KP' more of a K5/K3 than an entry model
You are of course right Richard, I personally don't shoot video but can appreciate a camera that can deal with a swift thruput of lots of data, for that I reckon we will have to wait for the K3 MkIII, which surely must address the 4K video aspect of things? As you say it's long overdue and SR in vid...

If we're heading down that route, wouldn't that be the 645Z? I suppose technically yes, but that is quite niche and not the sort of camera most would take on their seaside vacation with the family or friends (though no doubt some would!) being used for professional assignments mostly. Also it's not...

New 'KP' more of a K5/K3 than an entry model
I have to admit I think this looks decent, it looks like it would be a nice body with my 31 or 43mm lenses and maybe a nice size too. That said even the K1 doesn't feel that big with something like the 31mm attached. Stick a 24mp full frame sensor in that thing and I'd be ordering! Looks like a de...

New 'KP' more of a K5/K3 than an entry model
Yes, a full frame comparable to the KP would do well, even it it had to be scaled up slightly to make room for the larger sensor. Still happy with my K-1 though so not hankering after such a thing.

KP...What Do You Think?
I was reading the Ricoh press release in America and it says "Heir to K-3 legacy", and the Pentax reps told the dpreview staff it was a replacement for the K-3. So on that basis I'd have to disagree with your statement above. Now does that preclude Ricoh releasing a model above this previously top t...

KP...What Do You Think?
Is there any real advantage of a KP over a K-70, given the new camera is twice the price? I don't wish to do the company down, but personally I wouldn't have thought so. Conversely I feel a K-3ii would still be an upgrade over either of them (despite what they say) and that one is £400 less than t...

Pentax Open Day - Saturday 11th February - Pentax KP Preview!
Hi all, We are having an Open Day on Saturday 11th February where will have the new Pentax KP to play with. Luke from Pentax will be here for any questions. We had a quick play with the KP a few days ago and we really like it. It's a different design and feels small and it's quite retro lookin...

Shooting RAW and JPEG at same time K5iis
Just to add to the mix of free software to extract the embedded JPEG is ERawP Get it here; ► http://www.fsoft.it/ERawP/ Raw images taken with digital cameras contain raw sensor data. Such files can yield much better images than standard JPEGs but they must be “developed” using custom so...

Noises when using live view
I have noticed when using Live View on both K5 and K3ii that there is a constant whirring noise, as if something is working quite hard. I know the mirror is hoisted out of the way and the rear screen is showing just what the sensor is seeing and the software is compensating for varying light level...

Noises when using live view
Don't worry. It's the image stabilization in action. The sensor is mounted on a "floating" platen which is moved via small electro magnets in opposite direction to the motion sensed by the camera's internal gyro.

hands on kp @ srs
It won't happen, but there's no reason why a dslr couldn't have an off centre electronic viewfinder also. With the mirror up, a dslr is in 'mirrorless mode'. With on sensor phase detect AF points in the K-70, smart tracking options could be implemented like many mirrorless cameras offer. I...
