Goodbye yellow brick mode

I don't know if anyone noticed but Pentax ceased production of the K-01 two or three weeks ago. The writing was on the wall with hefty discounts being offered recently - body-only price down to £240...

I just read the AP feature article comparing sensor performance of the Nikon D600, Pentax K-5 IIs and Fujifilm X-Pro 1. Tests were for resolution of detail, noise and sensitivity. It makes...

Since yesterday I've had a better look at a Kx battery compartment. It seems that you are not very likely to have a problem with the battery terminals on the hinged lid unless they are severely...

Hi Chris,

Apart from following Edmack's advice you could try the following:

Carefully check the battery terminals in your Kx for any signs of corrosion or dirt that could cause current to track...

K-5 vs Full-Frame

My switch from 35mm SLR to APS-C DSLR a few years ago was taken a little reluctantly. Sure, DSLRs provide far greater flexibility and instant review but at the cost of increased physical bulk and...

The first thing that struck me about your images Gratris is that they look quite flat / 2-dimensional and somewhat washed out. The EXIF data tells me that you took them early afternoon on a fairly...

Well, the question is now answered and will probably disappoint a lot of Pentax fans.

The successor to the K-5 is the K-5 II, a very similar camera but with improved autofocus. I doubt that it is...

K5 successor at Photokina?

Rumours are rife that the K5 is no longer in manufacture and that dealers are simply offloading existing stock. Indead BHphotovideo lists the K5 + 18-55 kit as 'discontinued'. This may account for...

further firmware update

Old news really but for anyone who missed it K5 firmware version 1.11 was released to address an issue with version 1.10. It's all to do with use of the Pentax GPS unit so no essential need to udate...

I have no idea why your numbering started at around 9000 but if you simply want images numbered at 0001 upwards you could follow the new folder procedure on page 301 of the K5 manual, if you haven't...

If we are talking about the indoor wedding ceremony, rather than the external shots following the ceremony, I personally think it is right to have a complete camera ban for guests. Most compacts and...

K5 firmware version V1.10 was released yesterday. It provides support for the new Pentax hotshoe-mounted GPS unit but it's not clear whether the update does anything else. Watch this space...... ;)

That may simply be because the D-BG4 battery grip for the K5/K7 is different to the older K10/K20's D-BG2 grip, but there's not much logic to that - or it might be that Park have got it completely...

Yes, there's been a lot of Pentax-bashing in the past but cameras like the K5 and Kr hold their own with the best. In fact, the K5 betters the equivalent Nikon and Canon offerings in most respects....
