Visible light, like radiowaves, is basically an electromagnetic wave with a certain frequency. If the light hits the sensor under an angle, the phase of the light will be slightly different at...

Put an RX100 in a cheap Chinese underwater housing and it will be able to go deeper underwater and give you better image quality. In fact, I fid this to replace my TG-2.

Cellphones can do much more today than 10 years ago. All that cameras do is take photos.

If you just want it for scuba diving, I have an RX100 with a Meikon underwater housing that's not too expensive and can go 40 meters. Just add some weight (e.g. to the tripod socket) to make it...

They state that it is "now 15 meters", like that's more than before, which it isn't.

15 meters? That's no improvement, my TG-2 did that.

I have a Pentax Q system and liked the idea, but found it a bit limiting because of the small sensor size and lack of viewfinder. I got a Sony RX100 too and it's much nicer in terms of image...

SR: true, and definitely an advantage. However I've found VR to be more effective. Could be me, I don't know. Automatic horizon correction: I tried it on my K-5 a few times, but the level sensor ...

Well, I don't plan on continuing to run them side-by-side. And if I do, I might sell my Pentax zooms and just keep the Limiteds. I know the perception is that Pentax is lighter, and the K-3 is ...

Hello, I currently own some Pentax gear, based around a K-3, and as I became increasingly curious of what else is out there, I decided to get Nikon gear as well (D7100) primarily because of the AF ...

I had the old screwdrive SMC Pentax 55-300, and I have tested a Tamron 70-300 VC on my Nikon D7100. Although the Pentax isn't bad, The Tamron lens is better, no doubt about it. Especially on the ...

Except that the VC is ripped out and the price increased, if the other lenses are any indication.

In my opinion (and I have experience with both), VR is better than SR (IBIS), but SR is better than nothing at all. I can get a sharp shot with my Nikon 16-85 at 85mm and 1/20. With Pentax, I've...

When the K-01 came out, I didn't really care much for it. I found it an odd looking brick with a chimney on top. But actually, nowadays you can buy it used for not too much money. It's small and...

I have a K-3 and a D7100. I think it's Pentax who needs to step up their game - in the autofocus department. IBIS allows for clever features like auto horizon correction, on-demand AA-filter and...

I hardly think it's about Pentax being "allergic" to an EVF. It's about the K-mount and its large register distance. If need all that space in your camera anyway, why not use it to put a mirror in...

So what goes for you, goes for him? What happened to individuality?

If you have to ask, the D5600 is probably the right choice for you.

Here are my thoughts with regards to Pentax and Canon/Nikon after having used my D7100 a bit. It may sound stupid, but I don't think my primary reason for switching has anything to do with ...

I have a K-3 too, and I've had a K100D Super, K-7 and K-5 before that. Now I also have a Nikon D7100. Compared even to my K-3, the AF of the Nikon is much better. It's not just continuous AF, but ...
