hands on kp @ srs
What would you like to see lol video capabilities that look as though they belong in 2017:!: Call me easily pleased or what have you, but I'm totally satisfied with Pentax's stills ability. Sure I'd love to see their AF be a bit smarter, and give a hope of some focus tracking ability at my child...

Movie
Who is going to shoot a continous 29min take without stopping? Even a professional full length movie will be shot in many many segments and scenes of just a few mins or even seconds. The temperature cut-out is likely to stop things before you get to 29mins anyway. Rob, without 'mechanical' shake...

Regardsles of hofw good video is , on a dslr , it is restricted to 29 mins, hardly worth paying a premium for. Regards Standard 8 wouldn't have been any good for you then, two minutes and you had to turn the film over! Super 8, no film turn over but the film would have run out after 3 minutes an...

Movie
The reality of Pentax video makes for sad reading. Despite a K-1 and KP units being new cameras, Pentax have slapped the same video package into them all, which dates back to 2012. With the K-01 and K-30 Pentax dropped the real mechanical sensor stabilisation of the K-7 and K-5 series. It's neve...

Thanks for your generous responses, I will go through them in detail and see if I can come up with a decent result. I do see that there is shake reduction in movie mode though, but I guess if using a tripod it should be switched off. Ps richandfleur, K1 has a headphone jack and a menu option to a...

Interval movie frames count as shutter actuations (K-1)
Given time lapses will usually be compiled as 1080p video (approx 2MP) I stopped using a DSLR for them. Instead I use a GoPro for most timelapse work nowadays. No the range of lenses and a smaller sensor etc obviously, but the thousands of clicks on my physical shutter just didn't sit right wi...

K3 v KP
On paper there are a few 'merits' despite it not being an actual proposed upgrade path: 1. New sensor - a very capable one looking at photographs that are starting to pop up. 2. Better high ISO performance and higher possible ISO 3. 5 stop SR 4. Improved AF 5. Electronic shutter (for live ...

K3 v KP
Why do we think a magnesium alloy body is mid-range? This is a fundamental feature of the flagship line, and I've lifted this set of features from the wex description: New flagship APS-C model aimed at advanced-enthusiasts 24.3MP APS-C-size CMOS sensor New generation CMOS sensor and high-perfor...

K3 v KP
Brexit, collapse of the pound all are factors here, you have to remember that the KP is the first release after all of that and so the first that the "buy in price" has been affected by the above, K3's and even k1's, were bought in pre collapse. The replacement for the K3 II will slot right in the m...

K3 v KP
Richard, they said they will bring Video mode Sensor SR back via firmware, so they would surely build it in to future models from now on ...? .... Well, the high end models at least, where they presumably now are accepting that the user is knowledgeable enough to be able to cope with it! Algernon...

K3 v KP
That might change if Pentax were to give the K-3 line mechanical SR back, but somehow I don't see them doing that. They've recently said they're going to do this, it seems it is just switched off in the firmware (what were they thinking!!) Their thoughts were the sensor shake could be heard in the ...

TCSTV Review of the KP
It's all subjective and I actually don't think Chris Nicholls gives a poor review of the KP. I think he hits on some specific areas where he feels it doesn't justify the cost, especially when comparing to the K70, which I can't disagree with. BTW, I have no hands on experience with either the KP o...

TCSTV Review of the KP
SLR's became popular, because they didn't suffer from parallax problems and now we have a reviewer downgrading a camera for having an on axis flip screen saying it should go about six inches to the side where it will introduce massive parallax errors :shock: If you really insist on taking photo...

TCSTV Review of the KP
A screen offset say 6 inches to one side will show the same picture that you will see if you move your head 6 inches to the right. -- Wrong - you're not thinking straight (excuse the pun) The screen could be in the next room, it's showing the same image off the sensor which is receiving the lig...

TCSTV Review of the KP
Algi, parallax errors occur when the position of the viewfinder objective lens is offset from the position of the camera lens, so that the viewfinder eyepiece lens receives a different image from that recorded by the camera. In a DSLR, the image is received only by the camera lens, and that one imag...

K1: the good and the bad.
Surprised that this has come up, simply because in a studio environment I ,and not the camera, would always choose the focus point That's what I do too but I alway refocus between every shot, if the subject moves either sideways or back to front that can make the difference between in/out of focus. ...

Moon with pixel shift resolution
Last night I took a few photos of the moon with a K-1 and 150-450mm lens at 450mm, and experimented with PSR. Here are a couple of examples at the same exposure of F16, 1/320sec ISO 100 cropped and boosted in Lighroom, first with PSR and the second without, both on a tripod with remote release and a...

Updates for our system cameras
My Xt-10 is 380g and the XPro 2 480g ( not that I own one) whilst my K3 is 715g, so there is a significant difference. At the moment I use my XT10 with legacy lenses via adapters and it is a joy to carry it a round but as we all know, no camera system is perfect and Fuji have there own problems, ...
