  • Wow, with the choice and prices now, I'll upgrade the Kx soon. These are killer prices for what you get.
    Begs the question now, what the upper level announcement will be. The 24mp sensor, tilt and...

  • This would indicate a simplification of the Pentax lineup, making the venerable and excellent 16mp sensor the upper entry level, making a 16mp but lower spec version possible as a base model to...
  • @ Hubert
    Agree with your assessment of the Pentax systems and product lineage.
    I own a Kx, still a formidable sensor, when teamed up with good glass. Like the cheapo but stunning 55-300, produces...

  • I have the wg2 and I know your point. This camera is an absolute must for people doing stamp collecting, document investigation, bugs, insects, even hands on medical applications.
    The wg2 is very...

  • I'd have to agree, the 920 is a great camera n low light shooter.Did a shootout the other day between guys at work on an N8, my HTC sensation and 920.I'm sure, that blown up, the N8 would give...
  • James, In total agreement about the 55-300. Its something about Pentax that other brand owners and many new purchasers are not aware of and its certainly a huge bonus when thinking about buying a...
  • I have a Kx and have been using an older film era 28-105 instead, which is a very nice and surprising piece of kit but still lacks the range. No experience with the 18-135 but thats the next...
  • As is any other brand really, its all to do with your top 6 inches and flair; but I find that Pentax are a bit smaller and have excellent value for money. My 4 year old Kx still packs a punch and...
  • I went from canon to Pentax for reasons about how the sensor in the Kx performed and bang for buck in terms of what the Kx could do compared to my Canon at the time, plus the use of older lenses...
  • Tom,Value for money.........virtually unbeatable !!!I have the plastic mount with my Kx as a Kit lens, no problems thus far, two years down the track.Slow, noisy and hunting auto focus,...
  • Jim,Nice captures. The Golden hour has an HDR feel to it.....Hows the K5iis ?Images look nice n crisp.
  • Thanks team, that about explains it well enough for me, the WG is good for being rugged and not so good at everything else. Perhaps if I get a Q with a housing, then I'll be less fussy ????Also,...
  • Created discussions WG-2 image quality vs Q ?
    Hi team, I was given a WG-2 for Christmas and have taken just a few shots on the internal memory as it didnt come with an SD card.Firstly, build quality and design is brilliant and the digi...
  • I just had a look at the new DXO mark comparison for lenses and found it to be not in line with my experience. (Although tested on the K20D....which I thought was meant to be a good daylight...
  • Here is a shot I took a couple of years back while hiking and hunting back home in New Zealand.The plant is a 'Fox Glove' I believe. Its at about 170mm.I have seen the test analysis of the 55-300...
  • Gabriel, i'm a huge fan of the 55-300 and own the DA-L version which came with a Kx kit.Value for money its an absolute gift and a Pentax secret that other brand supporters miss out on. entry level...
  • Very cool......
  • Nice candid shots, I like the first one for the lighting and the last which focus' on her, but tells the story.
  • Created discussions 28-105 f4-5.6 IF, Budget Gem
    I recently took a trip over east to Sydney and an Iconic Australian car race held annually, called the Bathurst 1000. My eldest son paid for the trip and before I went, I wondered which lens or...
  • Commented on Just Posted: Pentax K-30 full review news story

    Finally and a good review / conclusion.

    So what we are saying here..... if you want to take photographs, this is a damn good camera, possibly one of the best in its class...........if you want to...
