Lightroom & Exposure

This is normal behavior for most photo editors, certainly RAW converters ... first question, are use using a RAW file or a JPEG from the camera? Camera sensors record data in a way that is optimized for the sensor (ie the best distribution of tones to store the maximum image information). This is...

worth upgrade k5IIs to K-3

I did the whole K5 to K5iis to K3, Every time Is the K3's image quality better then the K5's? No, but it's different if you know what I mean... There is just something about a photo taken on a K5... 5 months with my K3 has me wanting to buy another K5. You're as bad as me, Matty. Kind of...

worth upgrade k5IIs to K-3

Wanted to stay out of this! Doh Cant! For me I had a bit of a shock coming back to the K3, I initially found the noise pretty objectionable and was pretty narked about it, after being spoiled by the D610 and the Fuji X-T1 (Fuji crushes the blacks in it's film simulations, it won't look so noisy but...

worth upgrade k5IIs to K-3

Off topic slightly, i have a K30 a great all round camera. I started with the KR but bought the K30 when it was at a good price about 2 years ago. The K30`s a nicer camera to handle than the KR but i prefer the images from the KR`s 12mp sensor so much so i might buy another KR. Cheers Dave

worth upgrade k5IIs to K-3

Well after having the K10D, K20D, K-5, K-5II, K-3 and back to a K-5IIs (because I think the K-3 sucks) :wink: I have to say my favourite at low ISO was the sensor from the K10D. Could have saved myself a sackful of cash ... although I guess nowhere near as much as Jules if he had stuck with his f...

I have to say my favourite at low ISO was the sensor from the K10D. . It's not just me then... I was beginning to think I was imagining things. Both my *istD and K10D are keepers. As I have said before, there is just something about a CCD sensor that comes across in the images. Best regards

Walkabout camera recommendations please

The Q7 though has the same sized sensor as the MX-1 so should be more comparable in terms of IQ. If you buy a Pentax in the UK be careful over the warranty. The warranty seems to vary between Pro Centres depending on retailer. Avoid Park Cameras for example.

Walkabout camera recommendations please

Thanks for your comments so far. Matt, macro has been a longtime interest of mine and I'm tending towards the WG-4 at the moment. It has a larger sensor, both physically and MP's, and it has built in lighting. Any thoughts/users?

Walkabout camera recommendations please

Picking up the point about the Q7, that has the same sensor size as the MX-1 and I'd be hopeful that it has the same fine qualities. That's my plan, to eventually replace the Q with the Q7, and I've continued to expand my Q lens selection in anticipation. Having said that, the original Q is not h...

Walkabout camera recommendations please

I really think a zoom lens is important for a take everywhere camera. I'm with Ken (in a minority of two) I bit the bullet and bought an MX-1 without having the chance of haandling one. It's a bit of a lump and a really odd shape/size. The buttons are in the right place and that articulated screen i...

Walkabout camera recommendations please

Maybe a bit late with input here, but from my experience the GR takes some beating...ok, it's a fixed lens, but I've found that in spite of having a Fuji X20, which is a great camera too, I haven't used the Fuji at all for 3 months. I use my feet to zoom (where possible), plus the 35mm crop mode use...

MX-1 Purchase

Lovely camera, nice to hold, great screen. Great IQ for the sensor size. Thanks again for all advice.

MX-1 lens cap

A good thing to have, but I don't think it'll solve the problem of the camera "thinking" the lens cap is fitted when it isn't and closing down. This must be a failure of the sensor mechanism that shuts down the camera if the detects any resistance to the lens moving out on start-up. Pentax should re...

...This must be a failure of the sensor mechanism that shuts down the camera if the detects any resistance to the lens moving out on start-up. Pentax should really disable this "feature" unless they can make it fail safe... I would have thought that this feature was not unnecessary but actually vi...

Shake Reduction on an k5 vs Kx

Reason for the difference in dust removal is that the K-x does a mechanical shake of the sensor - hence the great vibrations, whilst the K-5 uses an ultrasonic system to clear any dust particles. If you're hearing is good, you can just hear a high pitched whine when operating it.

I agree the mirror box looks tacked on, but doubt it is removable... My guess is it might... have a hybrid af system . pentax does have a patent for a sensor shift af module that moves the sensor to achieve focus . this would work great for video af while the mirror is up.... just saying... it w...
