i only wish the KR will include the 1 function that caused the K-X to receive so much criticism - that silly red-dot thing in the VF to show AF point.
some of the criticisms are fair: what's the purpose of having 11 AF points when you don't know and can't tell which one the camera is going to use?
but more importantly, useful or not is beside the point... most k-x users are fine with it and know how to work with it but pentax is losing sales because of popular perception that this makes it "inadequate" :dunno:
The specs looks really good ... but until it comes, it's just rumours. And when it comes, can someone test out the long exposure shots? And I am not asking 2mins... just 30 secs will do. ;-)
Ability to disable long-exposure noise reduction plsssssss :thumbsup:
Got free gift
I am hoping that it retains the same body like the k20d did with the k10d. So that I could upgrade in future with having to buy another battery grip and tripod base plate. Yeah, the K-7 is still more than enough for me atm.
:gbounce:
tripod base plate is camera body specified one meh? :sticktong
hope the new body can shoot bugs at f32 1/180 sec with a single flash
Even k7 can do F32 at 1/180s. It's not the camera but the lens and flash.
Most flat tripod quick release plates (the base plate here) don't work well when you mount the camera vertically, especially if the lens/camera combo isn't small. A customized plate would be a better solution
i cant seems to get the lighting right (either totally dark or or quite dark) when shooting at f32 at 1:1 magnification on my tamron. a bit OT here but can help? i was using the in-built flash and the riva3000 flash. the riva is triggered by its optical slave.
thanks for the info on the vertically mounted problem of tripod plate. i have the same problem but didnt know can customized the plate to solve the problem.
thanks again, bro. you are really a walking campedia. :sweatsm:
