I turned it off as soon as I saw all he had was a picture of the K-1 and he didn't actually have a camera to review.
Mike it is not a review he just gives the spes of the camera along with his thoughts on it. He does say later he would like to do a full review at some point. If Pentax will loan him a camera and lens to do so.

I went from the K100D to the Kr a bit of a learning curve but picked up the new menu in little time. There is a very good deal o the kS1 with a 50mm lens in the link below. The lens alone is £89 on Amazon.

I still use mine and the pictures are just fine. I read somewhere that the K1ooD had a very weak anti-aliasing filter. Could you really tell, hand on heart, when looking at pictures on a screen, what camera it was taken with?
I have always been happy with the K 100 D and the old lens works great.

Thanks for the feed back all. I have not seen any issues with focusing on the video reviews. However I will dig into the issue and see if I can find out more.

Hi Ian, I'm also looking at this lens amongst others, and I think the reason that the focusing issues don't come up at all in any videos is because there only seems to be an issue through the viewfinder, as that uses a different type of auto focus than live view. I think it's phase detection as opposed to contrast detection.
Have you purchased one yet or gone down a different route ?
Derek
Not as yet Derek sorry for the delay.

Lovely set and a good amount of detail in the rocks.
