some time ago it was annouced that Pentax would be releasing a 10MP SLR in "Spring 2006".
Well spring is almost here and I still haven't been able to find out what the story is with this model.
Does anyone know anything concrete? When and where will it be available? Rough costs? Feature lists? Even a model number?
Thanks
J

Also, any idea on the specs? Model number? Price etc?

(Apologies for this has been asked and answered before)

Are there any signs that Pentax are going to bring out a genuinely new camera, as opposed to just releasing slightly different versions of the same 6 mega-pix camera.

Nikon, canon etc are coming out with 8-10 mega-pix cameras while Pentax hasn't issued a real upgrade in a long time (the new K110D is still only 6 mega-pix)

Does anyone know if Pentax are planning a serious upgrade and when it might happen?

Thanks

I'm actually after a "proper" underwater housing that will go to +60m depth.

Sounds like I'm out of luck

Hi all

does anyone know where I could get an underwater housing for the *istD?

I've looked everywhere and I can't find one. I would even be willing to get one custom made.

Thanks

Howdy,

how do you set the *istD to fire as a rear curtain sync/flash with an external flashgun (ie slow shutter speed with the flash firing at the end)

Thanks

JC

Howdy,

there have been a lot of posts about wireless flashes for the *istD and, frankly, I'm a bit confused.

Which flashes have true wireless capability with the *istD (as opposed to slave functionality)?

Do these need multiple flashes or do you only need one remote flash which can work wirelessly off the pop-up?

Thanks

Jimmy

Thanks guys. You've answered my question.

Bringing the photos together using PS isn't a problem and I've been using a tripod etc. The problem I've had is the difference in aperature between the shots, it makes the join very obvious.

Just to confirm, you select an "average" aperature and shoot all of the shots with that - yes/no?

What do you do when there is a significant light difference from one side of the pano to the next (ie when shooting a large city-scape)?

Hi Joshua,

Firstly, great shot!

Secondly could I please ask some friendly advise. I'm just starting to play with pano's and I'm just not quite nailing it. I'm getting decent shots but not great ones, perhpas all the fancy stuff is beyond me.

With your pano's (such as the lighthouse pano) how do you determine the focus and the shutter/aperature settings? I always seem to get part of the pano in focus but then parts out of focus, and I get some areas perfectly lit and others not.

Do you pick one point and centre the image around that or do you adjust each photo as an inidivdual shot and hope they glue together without too much hassle? When I take each shot as an individual it is very obvious when I try to glue them together

Any advise would be great.

Thanks

Jimmy
