An awesome review of an awesome camera, even if the market is now flooded with new ones (D600, D5200, D7100, 6D) the K5II/s is a relevant camera and is heads above shoulders even if a comprehensive...

The k30 is definitely more than an upgrade over the k-x in terms of image quality, auto focus, the large 100% pentaprism OVF, the weather sealing and the focus peaking. If money is no object, the...

I guess, seems like the 16fps is too much for a DSLR (hopefully this is not a mirrorless!), plus I don't think that Pentax needs another K5, I have a gut feeling that its is more of a drastic FW...

I re-read the statement again, he said that the K3 will have a 24mp sensor with 16fps, but he is unsure if it is indeed 16fps. Just to quote him: >1. New series for K5, K3 specs :24 megapixels, 16...

That is another possibility, well if I have more news or heard something again, I'll post them again. Right now, the discussion on our local group here is now revolving about that 20% employee...

2 cameras were mentioned, a K3 and another K5. Well it is hard to say what really is going on but this one goes all the way to the manufacturing plant itself. At least it was confirmed that there...

Update: Another word of mouth from our guy at the plant, whatever sensor or format the K3 would be, from what he said, it looks like there is an engineering unit already. And employees have a 20%...

Because we love rumors... A word of mouth from one of our local groups, the K3 may come out sooner or later, said that it will be either a 24mpx or 16mpx, APSC or 135mm? Did not say and there could...

The Pentax K01 regardless the form can and will shame the majority of APSC DSLRs out there in terms of image quality and yes, there are tons of great K mount lenses out there. The video capability...

If you will be using the flash a lot, you are better off with a Nikon kit with that 17-50 f2.8 non VC and any of their speedlights (or any of the Yong Nuo TTL ones w/c is really really good for the...

I had the DA35 f2.4 before and the DA40 and 70 are my lenses of choice I foolishly sold my 2 weeks old DA35mm f2.4 when a local was unloading his pristine DA40mm Limited. Sometimes it still haunts...

For answers 1-4, the DA 35mm f2.4 ticks all the boxes and will not cost you an arm and a leg The DA 40mm f2.8 Limited is one of the sharpest lens I've ever seen and used regardless of the brand and...

Have you held a K30 before? Fits like a glove but like you, not really a fan of the aesthetics :)I also use a K-r and is looking forward to a K5II or whatever comes next, still can't justify...

I think feeling where the AE/AF lock button is instinctive, never had to remove my eye of the OVF w/ my Kr

Yes, the K30 is worth it definitely. Nothing in its price segment is even close to what it can offer. If you can get a K30 with an 18-135mm WR, you are already all set to go. Even if the price of...

First and foremost, I own a Q + 01 lens but don't have the 02, I don't have the MX1 but have a comparable LX7. From what I've seen, the Q + 01 lens is sharper than most of the MX1 shots I've seen...

The K30 is a really really nice camera, fast and accurate AF, fairly clean even at ISO1600, sharp because of a weak AA filter, large 100% coverage OVF due to a pentaprism vs a pentamirror and that...

Must be those Limited line of lenses. I love my DA40 and DA70 Limiteds and I love my Q + 01 prime even more, its really fun shooting with that camera and the IQ to boot. Maybe daring to be...

Haven't noticed if the aperture level works even w/o a mounted lens, will try later once I get home.
