My thoughts on the K30 and K3 for video
Before I do my full review, I have somethings to say about the video on the K30 and now the K3. I have been shooting videos on Pentax SLRs for some time so I am familiar with the look and colour science as well as the noise response both in the picture as well as audio. Many review sites have critic...

My thoughts on the K30 and K3 for video
What makes more sense would be a customisable video function button ... I mean one switch that's dedicated, by default, to quickly activating video mode (useful for those who switch between photos and videos), but allow the switch to be customised for a variety of other functions (eg, switching betw...

Toying on an upgrade
Very low light AF will be a couple of stops better on the K-3 and K5II than all the others. I'd be surprised if that is correct. As Richard says above the I think you will find all of the 16mp era group of Pentax cameras (K30, K50, K500, K5, K511, K511s) are all pretty close iq / iso wise (of co...

New Pentax dslr announced
Mic input, so a video feature advancement on the K-30/K-50 model. To work this will need audio level indication, otherwise you don't know if you are clipping your audio or recording too low. If they're investing in video features, then I hope they drop that 'Movie SR' rubbish in the bin where ...

A DC, WR, collapsible kit lens - nice. I'll be very interested in that one. Good to see SMC isn't dead yet, though maybe they're keeping it around as the "lower quality" option for cheaper lenses, which seems a shame given SMC's proud history. I'm sorry to see it's a DAL though, and that the filt...

Pentax K5IIs - Infrared
Hello folks. I have a couple of questions for the experts. I have the k5IIs, I love the camera. I have had the K10d, the K20d, the K7, the first k5 and I tried the K3. The question is this. Would the K5IIs be a better candidate for IR conversion? I am close to 60,000 clicks on this body, was thi...

you could buy a *istDS or similar and not have to do any conversion, just use an Ir filter

Pentax K5IIs - Infrared
The K-5iis is poor with a R72 filter. Much better results can be had with an older body, my K-x worked well with the R72. Regards David

Pentax K5IIs - Infrared
you could buy a *istDS or similar and not have to do any conversion, just use an Ir filter The later bodies are relatively insensitive to IR, so the *istDS is a good choice. Please tell me more. I've always admired IR black and white photography and just this week have been inspired by Bill Ward's r...

Pentax K5IIs - Infrared
You can just use a screw in filter David, the R72 is the one I have. It blocks all visible light and the viewfinder image will be black. Therefore, tripod is best, focus before you put the filter on. The lens will focus IR at a different point to visible light, so ideally the point of focus would ha...

Pentax K5IIs - Infrared
The K5 is superb for IR. I don't see any reason why the k5iis wouldn't be as good; it probably performs worse than some cameras without conversion because the IR filter in front of the sensor is stronger. A conversion removes this filter and replaces it with one that blocks some of the visible spect...

Pentax K5IIs - Infrared
The AA filter may absorb a little IR so the K5iis may be very slightly more sensitive than the K5 but the AA filter could probably be removed during the conversion of the K5 anyway so there may not be any real gain. Personally I wouldn't expect the difference to be noticable. As Aliengrove says ...
