How much stock?
I wonder if Pentax really help themselves though. Over the years, I've bought pretty much all my Pentax gear from one particular Central London dealer and, in fact, one particular sales assistant (I won't name names to protect the innocent). When I got my K-r a few months ago I was talking to him ab...

samsung agrees with me on one point: Q: Samsung is currently manufacturing both compact system still cameras and dedicated video cameras – do you think that in a few years we will only have one type of camera for both tasks? A: This is a sensitive question. If you look at compact system cameras t...

Or will the next gen of DSLR type cameras kill off the video camera? I still think there are important ergonomic advantages either way, depending what you're doing. the sony nex vg 10 same apsc sensor as many slrs and nex evils.... as a switch hitter I have to tell you..... the camcorder desi...

Pentax/Ricoh forums ?
Since we're speculating, maybe this is the step that was needed to have Pentax go to full frame, with a release of two new limiteds? But they use full frame APS-C sensor right??? I doubt they will also make a 135 format camera, they are already busy making lenses for the Q-mount and the DFA645-mo...

I see Q
I think Pentax fans are going to be more interested in the images of the K1 Pentax (Q) FF event: http://www.schaft.net/n00bs/2011/07/21003307.html Ordered by sensor size: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6140/5942711062_02af43d91a_b.jpg Obviously, Pentax realized that there exists a gap between ...

Lens Fine Tune Adjustment
Flang thickness is probably almost the same but it does at up when you consider the little play there is with the sensor, AF module, mirror, viewfinder and every micro meter is one to many.

Lens Fine Tune Adjustment
What is the best way to test the lens? There are charts for that for a simple test though you can use the newspaper for example, focus on a letter or piece of text and you'll see fast enough if the focus is spot on or not. II am assuming Live View would work best? Live view focus in a different w...

Lens Fine Tune Adjustment
How do you set it once you've worked out how much it is out? Which camera do you've? Only with the K20D, K7 and the K5 you can fine tune per lens with the other cameras you'll need to use the debug menu and with that you cna only fine tune the AF sensor meaning it will effect the AF for all lenses...

which high-end compact to choose
Well I think the X100 can provide DSLR quality, but at quite a steep price. Although the OP didn't specifically state he expected DSLR quality. The GXR might be the way to go, although it's not quite a true compact, it's more like a Sony NEX in size I think. But the possibility of a future k-module ...

although i have been impressed by the 80% percent examples floting round the web i can see how Pentax can "get blood out of a stone" so to speak....the sensor is so small and compacted, unless they have the receipe for the secret sauce i don't think that the IQ can compete....intersesting no the les...

which high-end compact to choose
I think the new Olympus Pens are the thing you're looking for. Very cute, metal construction, good sensor, great lenses, nice JPEG engine, plenty of accessories - the optical (non-electronic) VF is a doozy, and comes free with the standard prime.

24.3 MP Exmor CMOS sensor
Well August 24th is set to be an interesting date as new cameras are scheduled to be announced. Several are to use the latest Sony sensors. So will Pentax/Ricoh be looking at these sensors for use in the next K DSLR? Only time will tell. Some basic specs of what to expect from one of these...

24.3 MP Exmor CMOS sensor
I would assume that the ISO 16000 is without gain otherwise what is the point? The specs were from a new Sony DSLR but they are also launching a 36MP FF sensor. Indeed, one manufacturer has already indicated that they will be using both sensors, but tweaked. I suspect that Pentax will announce...

24.3 MP Exmor CMOS sensor
:lol:24.3 MP on APS-C is completely futile, it's beyond the resolution of any lens you can put on the front of the camera. Canon already hit that obstacle at 18 MP:roll: John

24.3 MP Exmor CMOS sensor
Futile it may be - in all likelihood it's what we're gonna get! The 16mp sensor will trickle down to the Kr's replacement. [Crystal ball mode/OFF].
