Again, I say is this technically possible - to add electronic shutter in a firmware upgrade?

I am still wondering, having pre-ordered a GR, whether I can in fact expect images sharper than the GRD IV in very dark theater situations, given the slower lens and lack of image stabilization in...

Just tonight I took a number of photographs at a performance in a small theatre on request of one of the performers. The whole production was acoustic (no microphones) and the audience was very...

I wanted to be able to use my GR to take photos of my music recording sessions, many of which are very quiet at times. Almost any sound is too loud for this and may force me to choose another...

I am curious to know if there is a technical reason that image stabilization is incorporated into the design of neither the Ricoh GR nor the Nikon Coolpix A.

I am surprised at how similar all the images look in that, in each pair, the main difference is that the colours look more saturated on all the Ricoh images. It would seem that if this adjustment...

Where is the focal point in this? It seems slightly blurry, yet the shutter speed is so high and the aperture so small I get the feeling it should look sharper than this. The Canada goose photo, on...

I'm enjoying mine, too - savoring the choice of lenses to go with the 40mm pancake. Since this is my first Pentax and first DSLR I have no lenses yet.50mm f1.7? 16-45 f4? 85mm f1.4?!By the way, I...

I paid $369 for a black K-01 with the 40XS at Henry's on Jan 4th. It arrived three days ago. I see they're not listed there now, so maybe they're not getting any more in.

Thanks David. Which lens are you saying the Tamron is so much sharper than? If you mean the 18-55 kit lens, I'm not considering that; just the 16-45 and the 17-70 and possibly the 18-135.Russell

I ordered a black K-01 with the 40mm 2.8 prime lens from Henry's in Toronto for $369 (with free shipping!) on January 4th. They were out of stock but they said to order and pay to secure the sale...

Amazon currently lists the K-30 for $999 with the 18-135 lens, or $1036 for the following:"Pentax K30 Digital Camera with 18-135mm Lens Kit (Black) + 16GB SDHC Class 10 Memory Card + Extended Life...

Thank you all for the thoughtful and helpful comments. In light of them, I am going for the 18-55mm lens with my initial purchase.To explain my needs further, my main uses are twofold: pictures of...

Does anyone have any advice for a relative newbie about the lenses offered with the K-01? I am wondering whether it makes any sense to get the 18-55, or even the 50-200 when I buy the body since it...

Too much said!
Happy New Year!

Is it me, or are the second third and fourth pictures over-saturated? The colours seem slightly exaggerated in these.

Some very striking images in this collection. Thank you.

Owning the DLux4 myself, as well as looking at the RX100, I will be interested to read your comparison if you would be so kind as to post it. My main concern is the colour rendering, as well as the...

Looking forward to hearing *any* concert recording by the RX100 without the wind filter on.There is zero bass on this recording. No distortion, but no bass!

I think the Gariz case is the best looking one so far - as far as cases go:...
