These are fabulous. Lovely tones. It really is still well worth using film.

There's lovely control of highlight and shadow detail, which I suspect had to do with the choice of film?

This is all very interesting and encouraging! An 18-50, weather sealed, retractable, DC kit lens sounds extremely useful! would never have seen that one coming.

And finally an articulated screen! Wifi! *faints*

That body design was the original Pentax full frame dslr, which was nearly released before the istD. It wasn't released in the end, and it wasn't called the K1 either at the time. Can't remember its name.

I think this is a pretty special image, Alan!

There are reviews and then there are REVIEWS. Happy Xmas and enjoy reading.

A dedicated video camera that output the recorded quality of my Pentax camera, with the IQ available from the lenses I can put on it, would cost some very serious cash!

Doesn't that camera already exist and costs £2.5K, the A7S.

But 2.5K is pretty serious cash!

Simply put, DSLR video offers the same sort of visual qualities as DSLR stills - primarily depth of field and bokeh - that aren't possible on similarly priced video cameras. They are more suited to organised filming (camera on a tripod with shots planned out in advance) rather than whipping out to shoot 'You've Been Framed' style holiday/family videos. But we have our phones and compact cameras for that stuff!

Photographing xmas lights can be tricky - it's hard to focus on small points of light among darkness, it's hard to get a correct automatic exposure for the same reason, and you may also have camera-shake blur due to low shutter speeds. It's one of those times when it can be easier to go all-manual, to get the results you want, whatever camera you are using.

This topic comes around so often that I'm starting to suspect a 'sour grapes' aspect to the question. Knowing how to PP is an important aspect of the craft. Not as much as getting the shot right in the first place (can't make a silk purse from a sows ear). But it's important!

Really like the rich colours of these, Nigel!

I've never done anything other than a simple copy and paste (ctrl+C ctrl+V), from the card into a new folder of my choosing created for the pictures. Hate letting programs automatically do it for me.
