Shutter count.
I think the K10D was the last of the CCD sensor models, the 20 was the first of the CMOS.

You're right :) It makes the CCD sensor even more interesting knowing it was only around for a short while.

Do I switch to another brand?
My 2 cents is it really depends on what you shoot. Pentax has genuine strengths in stills images, especially static still life studio product work, and outdoor landscapes (where it's real weather sealing does shine). It's not so good when it comes to tracking objects (specifically keeping obje...

It is, indeed, good news that Pentax are releasing a new DSLR with an APS-C sensor. However, the issue for us poor earthlings that cannot afford (nor want) to move to FF will realistically be left with only Pentax lenses to chose from. The fact that all current Pentax camera owners may well be happy...

Ricoh confirm new flagship apsc DSLR
Looks mini K-1 really. Hopefully with K-3 speed. Sensor under viewfinder suggests rear touchscreen.

Ricoh confirm new flagship apsc DSLR
Looks like Nikon have beat them to it. https://petapixel.com/2020/01/06/nikon-unveils-the-d780-a-new-kind-of-dslr-with-mirrorless-tech/ This is more of a sensor improvement/modification. The Pentax example may have hybrid OVF/EVF which hasn't yet been done. The K-1 overlay for the viewfinder was ...

More pics of new APS-C Flagship
Provided it has a front sensor for the remote, and I can afford it, I will probably buy it, assuming I live long enough that is...* * no nothing wrong with me afaik, but Pentax release dates tend to slip considerably.

Aww the K-5 ii.....
i've been looking at getting 2nd hand K-5ii as my current camare has contracted aperture block... what is so special about these, i remember when they came out everyone wanted one? do they still cut it? have they aged well? is it worth risking a 2nd hand one? L Classic sensor that's still very we...

Aww the K-5 ii.....
The sensor in the K-5 and K-5 II is better than the one in the K-3 in all aspects except resolution. I have the Fujifilm version in my X-M1 and it produces noticeably better IQ in low light than both my K-3 and the X-T20, which has the Fujifilm version of the K-3 sensor. By Fujifilm version I mean...

reviews and video settings.
I have been watching a few reviews of the Pentax K1 lately, and I get realy wound up how they go on about its poor video option. That's because the video on the K-1 is very similar to the K-30 and K-01 of 2012. It's a sub par offering for a 2019 device. Why would you buy a dslr to take videos. ...

I've been working on a project which includes employing a professional film maker to create a short movie. He is using one of the Sony XT mirrorless cameras. I have no interest in movie making at all, but we have to accept that convergence is one of the main technological trends of which the "smart ...

You bought a digital imaging device that you personally use for stills only. It's late 2019. All cameras today can do stills and video, and Pentax itself has had this ability for 10 years. The reason Pentax is downvoted because of it's video capabilities is because they are very poor compared to ...

IIRC Pentax was sort of ahead of the game once with the K20D; it was one of the first DSLRs that could sort of do video albeit at only 14 fps... Pentax missed three very important opportunities with video... Q, 645d, and k01.... the Q would be a direct competitor to the action cam sector with a fe...

Actually there is a lot more to it, not all cameras perform equally well in stills either; if it is video you want then look elsewhere BUT if you want the best rendered landscape shots, astrophotography, buildings and interiors you would be hard pressed to beat the K1. Instead of complaining about P...

Consumer demand is for devices that... like smartphones can do both. Equally well. If you really believe that is true why not manage with just one of those then and ditch the Pentax and Sony? IMHO smartphones don't do either very well. I'm not aware of any with a 35x24 or larger sensor and a quali...

Little live view A/F tip
No I did not know that. Thanks for the heads up. In live view on a tripod, I tend to switch to manual focus, and zoom in with digital zoom and focus peaking to confirm the exact spot I'm after. View returns to full screen once you half press the shutter button again and you're all good to go. I...

Have a look at the aperture block problem. cheers all Odd how you ignore the obvious sometimes! I assume it to be a sensor issue, but it may be a lens issue... i will now check. Chances are, it is the camera as it has had a rather batttered life. the K-70 has passed me by, somewhat. i shall i...

Another "recommendation" for a K-70 from SRS - paid about 30 quid more last Jan and have been very pleased with it - lot more modern than the K-30 and KS generations with a 24 Mp sensor and usuable at higher ISO and with "pixel shift" = virtually a cutprice KP (and without those potentially "notsuit...
