hmm i am not an expert, all i can say is that the camera was on a tripod so static, but the image was moving when filming, following my movement, i've used stabilisation for image in softwares and i can tell you that this is much more efficient - don't know how that would be a step back?!
i have no idea how it works, i can just say that the image was definitely not still (the right side of the frame was a lamp, which clearly wouldnt be moving!)
anyway it turned it off afterwards.

now dropped to 630 euros! (grrr i wish i had waited 5 more days and saved 30 euros).
mine took 3 days to arrive, manual is in French but you can download the english one online.
warranty is european

hello -
20mm 1.8 retrieved from the sale.
I am willing to part with the DA 55-300mm for £145 delivered, it's really in mind condition and includes all the original accessories (caps, hood, pouch).
I'll try to post pictures of it and taken with it in the coming days.

hello - i received my K-S2 yesterday, i played with it a little bit so here are my first impressions, it replaced my K30.

I've been upgrading since K100 to Kx to K30 to KS2, so skipping one generation each time, every time there has been a decent upgrade. When the K30 and K50 were basically the same, the KS1 was unappealing, i wasnt expecting the KS2 to be so good, in my opinion it will be much better than the k30 (from my 2 hours of playing with it, will review this comment in a few months):

- screen, this is so much better especially for filming oneself
- 20mpix vs 16, i checked quickly the quality of the shots and it looked good, i shot in jpeg by mistake the first shots (which i hadnt done for 2 years, but it was defo settings) and the shots were actually brilliant - hard to compare though, but hopefully it will be a little bit better
- high ISO seems a little bit better, i havent tested it enough, i filmed myself in super low light and sadly 1600 ISO is still too noisy, 800 is completely fine and a little bit better than the K30, shame there is no option for 1200 iso, this could be great.
- wifi, which i use to control the camera with a phone, not of use for everyone but definitely is for me
- video is much more advanced, shows levels, proper controls, thing flashing when recording, small features i wasnt complaining about the lack of, but it actually makes a big difference
- i havent tested AF etc.. in comparison, the first thing that shocked me was the noise it makes, and i realised it was the SR, strange thing. I filmed myself playing the guitare, so my body was kind of static, but my arm was moving from left to right, the camera was tracking it, it is INSANE how much it moves, i will always turn it off when on a stand because it doesnt make sense, but that means for filming when walking it should do a great job at shake reduction.
- the built in mic has much more control (like 15 levels vs 4 previously), and there is a mic jack input, which will be useful

otherwise it handles like the K30, feels heavier somehow, but the buttons are in the same place.

very happy with my choice so far, definitely has many more features than the K30, i cant think of anything missing - get one!

link? i can't seem to find it

hello,
i dont think there is such thing as a 30mm DG, there is a 35mm that is DG, the 30mm is DC.
The 20mm 1.8 though is DG, so will be super wide angle on the FF. (same field as a 13mm on APS-C)

just ordered the K-S2 so a lens has to go! I am willing to part with one of those...

- Sigma 20mm 1.8, bought in Germany second hand, in OK condition (no hood/no box/no pouch) £300
- Sigma 30mm 1.4 in great condition, bought it from here back in January, I haven't used it, complete with box, pouch etc.. £200
- Pentax DA 55-300mm in great condition, owned from new, very very little use, super happy with the few times I've used it - complete with box, pouch etc... £145

Insured shipping from Germany £13

hello no it's not WR - I'll post pics soon (probs not till next week though)

thinking £300 + insured shipping (£13). Now cheapest price seems to be over £500 (£506 to be exact) link

just bought mine.. takes 2-3 days, price included delivery (to Germany in my case)

can Amazon France ship outside of France? it is a good deal indeed - the pictures are a big misleading though as they show the 18-55WR.. anyway i am after the K-S2 which is also cheaper in France, just wondering about the shipping...
