To shake the censor or not to shake the sensor!
I know it's from the K10D but I believe that they haven't change the system or have they? It's basically the same system, but the K20D gives the sensor a more vigarous shake at a higher frequency than the K10D. You can hear and feel that it's a lot more powerful. However, it's still not powerful eno...

To shake the censor or not to shake the sensor!
I've had mine switched on my GX10 from day one, never had any dust issues so I'm not tempting fate by turning it off simon

To shake the censor or not to shake the sensor!
I have had the K10D for two years. Before that I owned the dust magnet, an IstD. Where I live soot is as much of a problem as dust. I don't use the shake gizmo except when there is dust and in two years I haven't had any dust or soot that didn't come off with the Giotto blower and a quick shake. I t...

To shake the censor or not to shake the sensor!
I have my K20 and K200 set to shake the censor when I switch the camera on, is this a good idea or not? I didn't know that the cameras had built-in censors. Is that to prevent indecent pictures? :D And then shake them if you don't agree with them?

High ISO settings
The pattern depends on the scene you are photographing. What is relevant is how far from the ends of the scale that pattern is on the histogram. First of all and most importantly, when possible (it isn't always), you don't want any of it going off the scale. Data at the extreme left end indicates so...

New Pentax "bridge" (Micro APS-C) leak?
The lack of a hot shoe and the inclusion of a "macro" button makes me think this is more likely to be a bridge camera than an interchangeable lens one. Still, PMA this week so all should be revealed soon enough... hotshoe irrelevent if it has both p-ttl wireless and manual flash control, or a pc so...

You may be right Don - and I'd love to see a square format sensor! I just have a hunch this isn't it... :?

New Pentax "bridge" (Micro APS-C) leak?
Looks like something for the "Polaroid Pied Pipers" and "Instamatic Madmen" to me. Nowhere near enough buttons to be a K20D replacement, no shake reduction. It looks small that's a 2.7 inch sq. screen. It could be that it's not a sq. sensor just flips portrait shots through 90deg for viewing. The...

New Pentax "bridge" (Micro APS-C) leak?
That screen is definitely not square, it is a 4:3 screen like on almost all cameras. The black edge makes it look square. I'd still rather have the K10 or K20 sensor in a DP1 type body with a 28mm equivalent lens as a pocketable camera.

Now is a lot more interesting. K-Mount? That's more like it! Please, please, please let it be a K-mount! It can't be, it's too shallow: "The use of an EVF has allowed Samsung engineers to significantly reduce the size and weight of the new camera system by decreasing the distance between the l...

New Pentax "bridge" (Micro APS-C) leak?
But still it could be a K-mount that they would use for the special lenses and that you need extension to place Normal lenses on the right distance. Can you imagine the confusion that would cause? Would we have NXDA lenses that would suit the reduced mount-to-sensor distance, but be useless* on K*D...

Can you imagine the confusion that would cause? Would we have NXDA lenses that would suit the reduced mount-to-sensor distance, but be useless* on K*D cameras? I would strongly suspect (and hope) that it's a new mount. Dan * I realise these lenses would actually turn into pseudo-macro lenses...

New Pentax "bridge" (Micro APS-C) leak?
Well yes I see the confusing but if you name the Lenses differently I don't see the problem. Have you noticed how many questions there are on here about which lenses working with which cameras? Introducing another type with the same mount, that didn't work at all with the current range, would be lu...

New Pentax "bridge" (Micro APS-C) leak?
About FA lens on such a micro camera though, why wouldn't it work? Of course the distance is wrong but it's okay to place a lens further away with extension tubes so I don't see why it wouldn't work the other way around. If the focus travel was long enough, I suppose it might work, but you would lo...

Do sensors wear out ?
A few weeks ago, the P&S camera that I use for work (not a Pentax) started showing strange colour banding on the LCD screen, when composing a picture. The banding moves as you half depress the shutter. This was not a problem as the images taken did not exhibit any of this colour banding. Ho...
