K20D EDR feature
Thanks for the replies - yes, it does look as if they may have mistaken the HDR filter for EDR. I know there are a couple of other minor errors in that review, but the 100% image of Sidmouth is very impressive in the amount of detail captured (as has been mentioned previously). Jonathan

Photosop cs3 vs Paintshop Pro X2
Yep, much easier for tilted images than using the cumbersome and slow Lens Correction filter. But I have yet to see anything as easy to use as PaintShopPro's ability to draw a box over an object that "should be square" and have the entire image adjusted to be "square" (square ...

First DSLR - K10d queries
The 18-55 + 50-200 kit is compact and versatile. An added bonus is that the filter size is the same for both lenses, so if you decide to buy filters you may not need as many. I agree leave the 16-45mm till later when you have some better idea of what you want.

K10 white balance
Yes there will be variation, but Tungsten and Photoflood are also as far as I recall two different colour temperatures. If we want character in our images, then this variation in light sources can be used to advantage and I don't necessarily try to correct it. This is why most of the time my K...

Which extra bits to buy?
Hi Rob, welcome to the forum! Apart from the obvious (memory cards, batteries, cleaning items), I would recommend that you order the body with the kit lens first, use it for a while, then, when you know what kind of subjects you like to shoot, start looking then. Before making any purchase, do...

Which extra bits to buy?
Filters: It is highly probable that you will use only one filter, a circular polarizer. It's less probable that you'll use coloured filters of any kind, except maybe Graduated Neutral Density (ND Grads) filters of varying strengths. Be careful with your lenses and you willl not need to degrade yo...

A coloured neutral filter? Where can I get one of those? :wink: :lol: Almost anywhere, if you like the colour grey.

Which extra bits to buy?
I’ve used a polariser quite a lot on my film SLR, so I’d been wondering whether I should get one. I must admit, though, I was used to a linear polariser, which obviously gives more control. They’re not meant to work with digital, although some people say they’ve not had problems. I suspect I’d be be...

Pentax Wide Angle
there are complete threads on landscape photography here. you could get a shot like that with your kits lens. I use the 10-17 mm often. a shot like that would require having the horizon dead center of the frame. My 16-45 is the lens of choice for wide angle landscapes. but my 50 mm prime gets used...

K10d Mulitple Exposure Mode
try three shots, on a tripod, first two in focus third out of focus....(trees,flowers, landscapes etc). try nine shots of a rock, or tree or other stationary object where you got moving water/grass/clouds filling most of the frame. try three shots with a red green then blue filter on each sho...

K10d Mulitple Exposure Mode
try three shots with a red green then blue filter on each shot (stationary shots should come out normal, moving elements (like clouds) will be colored. Not tried that one yet - I'll have a go this week. :D

What have I done?
the Nikon has so much absolute crap in it that never gets used. I've never had any SLR but Pentax, so I'm not the most qualified to reply to this. However, it does seem that there's very little buried in the K10D menus that I'd describe as 'absolute crap' The slimming 'filter' perhaps.. but ...

100% on the LCD
From where did you get 320x240 pixels? This yields only 76800 pixels, while the specifications state 210000 (some places 215000). I would expect the ratio is more like 536x402 (=215472), but I have not been able to find these figures anywhere. See my post a little earlier. In short, the number of ...

100% on the LCD
Terry, in a 3008x2008 CCD, there are exactly 3008 x 2008 photo sites. There are not "sub pixels". A CCD works by having a "Bayer matrix filter" in front - so the 6million photo sites are arranged as squares of 2 greens, 1 red, 1 blue. Consequently you have 3million green pixel...

Bulb Mode
oh and in answer to the actual question I've been using my K10D and *istDL2 for astro photography ever since I've had them and neither shows any signs of ill effects. One thing to watch though is that if you use a DSLR in place of the eyepiece of a Newtonian telescope then you are opening the...

Not a dirty sensor
If the thing is sitting right on the sensor, and presumably simply casting a shadow on to it, from zero distance or thereabouts, why does the aperture affect it? Well, it is not sitting right on the sensor. It is sitting on top of the filter (i.e. the surface of the sensor assembly) and therefore a ...
