I agree about being clickbait….and the fact they didn’t make choice all the more frustrating.

That said, oh how I wish either one of these cameras was serious about video capabilities. I got a...

Honestly, there are only three options that make sense: 1. Fix it yourself 2. Switch to lenses with aperture rings to shoot with 3. Buy another camera body The cost of a lab to repair it is likely ...

The solenoid to control aperture is broken....only way to use camera is with lenses that have an aperture ring....

Umm, I don't know if anyone questioned the viability of Sony's photography division at that time..... Questioned the Alpha/Minolta mount? Yes, but by that time the Sony mirrorless mount was already ...

Maybe some enterprising person has dealt with, has a solution.... .....or this is the problem with sdm lenses, and good riddance to them. So, I have been using a DA* 16-50mm lens since the K-10D. I ...

Thanks for the input. I am shooting jpg mostly, and I have never liked NR on any camera I have ever used, and Ricoh was def. trying to be more like Nikon with my K3 when it came to NR. The info on ...

There is a complexity to where the camera market is right now, and Ricoh's place in it. A couple of things to keep in mind: 1. Nikon and Canon have been the dominant players in the market since the ...

So got a deal on a K3lll and, well, they shouldn’t have named it a K3 iteration because of all the changes. Anyway, I navigated through the menus, making sure all the NRs were off, but I wanted to ...

I’m second look it fits on dfa roadmap, but still going with replacement to 55-300….because the 55-300 is simply an update to the 75-300 which was an update to the 100-300. Both of those are fa ...

I sincerely doubt it is a ff lens…. the only other option I could see is this is a replacement for the 60-250, finally retiring another sdm lens, and offering a DA star 4f  that has such range it ...

Best guess is its a successor to the 55-300, but more compact, like the 18-50 replaced the  18-55 as the default kit lens. I imagine 30 percent smaller, focus by wire, lighter despite having a ...

I understand you trying to be helpful, but that didn't answer my question. So, I know this was an issue for the K-3 for I had two. I also had sent my K-3 in to be reviewed under warranty, for this, ...

To followup on this, I guess I wonder more about battery life and filming.... I have had two K-3s (the original) and I noticed I really needed to have the grip on with a second battery in order to ...

The honest answer is there is no possible way to know, and while I find Cameraville entertaining - and despite what other people say, I find him to be sympathetic to the Pentax faithful, but ...

So, like you, I have my traditional camera bag, where my 70-200 2.8 lives with my 16-50 2.8, FA 85 1.4, amongst anything I would throw in my bag for specialty needs. Because I do not want to carry ...

I always thought a K-02 would have been a special camera rig, one many dslr video shooters would have made the central part of a system...Remember this is when we didn’t know if JVC was going to...

The camera is about average for a DSLR-like camera (which this camera is essentially, missing the mirror and constantly in live mode). It does suffer from jittering trying to compensate for...

You know what, stop hating on the K-01! Look, as someone who has shot, and continues to shoot photos and video with the K-01 (it sits in my laptop bag as my backup/travel unit) the camera has its...

I am a Pentax lover - have a K10d, K7, K5IIs, K3, K-01, Ks2 and lots and lots of lenses....

I am perplexed by this offering - On one hand, this seems to have the upgrades in AF we have been...
