there are still rumours about Pentax Evil Cameras..
I find it highly unlikely that Pentax would conduct an interview with the competitors cameras in plain sight.. the camera held in the hand above appears to be the new 14 mp small sensor ilc and the other camera on the table looks a lot like the nikon 7000 compact or maybe an evil class camera with ...

K5 split Camera Split prism screen, please, please, please ....... Seconded! OK so there's KatzEye but it would be nice to have the option of a Pentax one that works with spot metering. But isn't that the problem? You're asking for the AE Metering sensor to be moved below the focus screen.

But isn't that the problem? You're asking for the AE Metering sensor to be moved below the focus screen. I know it currently affects spot metering. But not to the degree that it's unusable. So Pentax could easily add corrections for it in the firmware; e.g a menu option where one can select the typ...

It's a lot easier than that to check a split screen. Put it on a tripod about 3 ft high. Focus on something vertical say a gap in a door/frame. Tilt the camera/tripod to the top of the door. If it still shows it's in focus..... throw it in the bin :shock: :lol: Ahh you mean the split screen has a w...

Here's something that's been niggling for some time - it is all very well having a WR camera body and lenses but this is breached whenever you change lenses. How about a protective shutter between the body mount and mirror which opens when a lens is engaged and closes when released? Many small camer...

Advice needed for a studio set up please
For good and inexpensive lighting, I'd seriously consider "Elemental", but only after you have gained some experience with flashes. That way, you'll be more likely able to evaluate your needs properly. One thing I find very important in a studio is a changing/privacy room for the model(s), espe...

Is the k5 worth buying
I am currently using both a K-7 and K-5 If you don't shoot over ISO 800 then I would personally say no. The AF is still not significantly better and 1.5fps makes very little difference. If however you do use over ISO 800 then the K-5 walks all over the K-7 sensor wise. Can't see Pentax even...

Is the k5 worth buying
As I said, the K-5 walks all over the K-7 sensor wise and for the people that need/want the better ISO/DR then it is well worth the extra. Just a personal opinion of someone that uses both cameras, others may (and will) disagree. :wink:

I miss my k7 Mike, and may choose to add one to my kit again shortly... Do you find the K5/7 interchangable enough day to day (I know you haven't had the K7 long)Sensor wise I mean:?::arrow:

Is the k5 worth buying
Not sure if anyone saw last weeks Amateur Photograher but they ran a comparison on the K5, Nikon D7000 & Sony Alpha 55 - it appears they all share the same Sony sensor - anyway it appears you can shoot without using ISO (ie you can push 6 stops in the post shooting, processing stage). Oh, the AP rep...

UV Filters
Hello all. Following a couple of recent threads about UV filters, where different people gave differing opinions about their preference, I thought I will do a simple poll to see how many use them and how many don't. Thanks for voting. The coatings on the lens already cuts the UV quite a bit and th...

Does it make any sense to use Pentax in the wedding photography?
You certainly can use Pentax DSLRs (and Pentax film cameras for that matter) to shoot wedding photos. Do not be fooled by the FF controversy. I shoot many weddings every year and have done so for decades, using mainly Pentax equipment. When I converted to digital I started with K200d, then onto K20d...

FF is Full Frame. A bit of a silly same really as it should be called 135 frame. Meaning its the same size as a 35mm negative:D FF DSLRs have been the subject of many heated debates on this and other forums, Pentax's first foray into the Digital SLR was with a Full Frame model based on the MZs fi...
