@okl you can try using snap focus distance, or even use hyperfocal, then the camera wont need to take so much time to focus

Personally I think a bigger sensor like 4/3 /APS-C/full-frame is not viable on GRD because it would increase the size too much. One attraction of the GRD series has always been small size, good for street photography. Top LCD sounds like a nice feature, can save battery from not having the big...

Read on the other forum that the incremental update to the K-5 can be explained on the basis that Pentax is putting more resources into another project, hence no sensor/image processor overhaul in the K-5. If true I think its a good thing, since the K-5 already is such a competent camera...

As a Pentax user with a Ricoh GRD, glad to see our common identities aligned!

When the cheap K-01 offer first went up on webstore the caption really did read "inbeatable" haha

If you are comfortable with manual, best to stick with it. If the competitors are wearing their gi (martial arts uniform) then the whiteness might confuse the camera's auto exposure. Use manual and you will be assured of getting the desired exposure. I believe that with the K-5, you should...

Orient Photo and SLR Revolution. Shops that carry Pentax products

should splash big ad in the Straits Times with "INBEATABLE" haha

my experience with the 55-300 has been very good also. AF does hunt abit on k-x but this can be minimized once you get the hang of the lens and know how to use it. It is indeed very sharp in its sweet spot

I guess we all know about Digital Life's "prowess" at reviewing all manner of tech gadgets so its probably best not to discuss them at all ;)

K-5 back to the promo price, and even lower this time? Might have to buybuybuy!

Maybe this isn't a K-r replacement, and going by the name, is instead a K20D replacement? Then Pentax might have 3 DSLR camera silos - entry, mid and high end

He should be K-user now!

Jumping Spider/Common Housefly-Catcher - K-x, Bokina, 1/30s, f8 I believe This fella landed on my desk one day, so I dropped everything and shot while he posed for me
