Spent Saturday at Hillarys Boat Harbour for the Boating and Fishing show. Covered the fashion show and took a few around the show area.

Spent Sunday at Mandurah covering St Patrick's day and met a charming young lady who was also shooting with Pentax and Nikon. link

IMO the K5ii/iis are so small upgrades to the K5 that they must have been meant to keep sales going while something else is ready, so it would not be so strange. I understand that low light focus improvements are important to some users, and they have rightly upgraded, but to most it is not a significant change.

With the recent announcement of the Nikon D7100 and the rumoured Canon 7D mkii Pentax must release a new camera with better specs to compete in the premium APS-C market.

But only if they tell the public about it or attend a photography show?

Hate RiceHigh with a passion. That guy is just an idiot who basically made his internet name slagging off Pentax. No one here should ever link to his idiot site because he is a narcissist pure and simple.

As regards the new cameras, 645 refresh probably, low end sub K30 model probably and an APSC K-3(s).

Any other links or people you don't like that we should not link to?

What would happen if both systems were left switched on?

I have a Pentax fit Sigma with OS and have used both IS systems active.

Why don't you just try it and see what the results are. It does not break anything.

It's such a great camera that no one has heard of...

Sigh...

There are plenty of pro togs I know here that know of the K5 and how good it is. Sadly for them, it's not a system camera and has no support for service or repair that pro's need. Several of them use Pentax Ltd's on their Canon's so they know their glass as well.

Joe public does not care about WR, low noise or pitch black auto focus. Indeed, he does not want to carry a DSLR about as it's cumbersome. He is not a photographer, he takes snaps for FB and Twitter.

Both Canon and Nikon have cornered the pro market hence new "photographers" are more likely to go Canikon.

As a minority user group, we should just accept the market for what it is. The fact that the D7100 being the same as your K5 will not prevent it from outselling the K5, its market force. Sadly for Pentax, they don't do marketing in time to catch a bus never mind a customer.

At least its good to be a minority user group alongside the Leica user group.

We should not loose too much sleep over what other brands achieve or claim. If the claims are true, you have the option to buy.

You do realise Alan that there may be birding togs out there that have now given up all hope of ever achieving similar results.

Excellent work and presentation. The third shot for me as it shows the talons.
