The K-5 has quick and fast accurate autofocus in normal to good light, but do note that autofocus is also lens dependent. Pentax DA Star 16-50 f/2.8 and 50-135 f/2.8 are among the slowest focusing...

The K-30 is available in different kits, it is a bit different from country to country (it's the distributor and seller in each country that decides the kit) but the DA 18-55 WR is available in a...

Dear Trevor,I disagree with the ideas that you express in your posting. But please allow me to focus on what you have misread me about.First we have the S-curve. You can't adjust it in the DCU 4 in...

The K-01 offers no advantage over the K-30 if you shoot stills, the only advantages it has is the enhanced video functions. The K-30 is good for video, but the K-01 is even better. They are niched...

This may be a sign of that the views and longings expressed in this forum from Pentaxians - like the many request for a K-mount compatible mirror less design (I've seen so many postings pre the...

Dear Trevor,when I re-read my posting I see that I could have been even more specific. My sincere apologies for not being so from start. But let me make up this to you by adding my thoughts about...

Dear Trevor,I hope you accept my apologies to answer your three postings to me with one posting instead of answering each posting separately. You bring up a valuable question and let me start by...

The Developer Studio 3 for the Q can't be used with any other camera than the Q, so that is correct. However, the Q files are DNG so they can be loaded in other RAW-converters that you can also use...

Great optics!This summer Pentax releases the 50 f/1.8. It is built the same as the 35 f/2.4 = plastic body, but optics is presumably very high quality. (Pentax used to make the best 50's around,...

It has already been said in this thread, that the Pentax Digital Camera Utility is replaced by Silkypix Developer Studio 3.0 for Pentax. Silkypix delivered the image processing engine in the DCU,...

It depends on what they mean with "MLU"...Previous Pentax has had it with the 2 second self timer. You put the camera in this mode, and the mirror flips up and stays there for 2s and then the...

Not really. Pentax has not raised lens prices.They have just a new policy to the shops which limit the "street price" discounts.So from Pentax the prices are the same - but the shops no longer can...

The red is too hot in the first images and the 2nd images shows more detail in the red.Do note that the K-5 can easily be customized when it comes to the colors, it has many color settings and you...

Well, since the PEF-format now seems gone and Pentax throws in Silkypix Developer Studio 3.0 for free in their latest offerings it seems like this is the way they are going now so development of...

That depends... the K-30 has better autofocus and offers more user control over video.Oh but the K-30 also have AE-L and ISO buttons, and HyperProgram with dual dials. I believe the K-30 will keep...

The K-5 and the K-30 has the same pentaprism viewfinder with 100% view, both also offers focus confirmation and shake reduction with older manual focus lenses. The K-30 has one clear advantage...

No you don't have to use LightRoom if you don't want to. The K-01, as the K-30, comes supplied with Silkypix Developer Studio 3.0.The Pentax Digital Utility used the same image processing engine...

There is no need to worry. It is the processing engine that interprets the colors and give them the Pentax look. This processing engine is in the camera and in the Pentax Digital Utility software,...
