Pentax K2000 user reviews Date: 2008-09-23 - 09:40:10 Author: MarkJ Rating:    The K-m marks the 1st good looking Pentax DSLR for me. I never care for the mono-top LCD much. In the film days, it is the only way to see your information and is required. But today with massive 2.5 - 3" LCD, I can get more visual information without straining my eyes. I believe Konica Minolta 5D was the 1st DSLR ditching the top LCD, followed by Rebel XTi, then Nikon finally got into the act with their D40/D40x/D60 lines. I'm glad Pentax is finally on board. If you want to sell well in this entry-level market, ditching the old look is required. Serious Professional camera will probably always retained their top mono-lcd: the Canon 5DII, Canon 50D, Nikon D700/D300/D90, Pentax K20 etc... But entry-level should shred this bulk for smaller design, like the: Canon XSi/XS, Nikon D40/D40x/D60, Olympus 420/520, Sony A200, and now Pentax K-m. I hope the USD price is reasonable, I buy one to see how the pentax world feel like.

I am totally satisfied and amazed. Highly recommended without reservation. It does not feel cramped in your hands like competing small dSLR's. The ergonomics are impressive.

Against my old *istDS, AF is generally faster, AF better in lowlight, AWB much better for tungsten, exposure is more accurate and much less likely to underexpose. It is also much more power efficient against the DS. Being w/o the top LCD, all settings are being displayed on the 2.7" LCD which can be set to permanently on, or by pressing the info button. While the latter method conserves battery power, altering the shutter speed or aperture will not turn on the LCD automatically. That means you must either press the info button, or peeping through the viewfinder. It would be so much nicer of the LCD would turn on automatically whenever the settings are being changed. The ? button can be customized for different features, but none that I found useful. Perhaps future firmware might add AE-L, AE Metering and Select AF point to it too. Image detail is a big jump from 6MP to 10MP in practice. but at the cost of inferior noise control at higher ISO. As a RAW shooter only, I feel ISO100-800 are good, but 1600 & 3200 are inferior to the 6MP model. However, SR compensates this shortcoming somewhat. SR is also the sole reason I am buying the K-m.

I had 2 full days to take great shots with this camera. I purchased two bundle kit, which comes with 18-55mm lens as well as 50-200mm lens. I have another manual focus lens, which is A50.7. One of the most asked questions about this camera is AF speed. Yes, AF is pretty quick. To test AF speed, I sometimes turn focus ring to opposite direction and checked the time it takes to set the focus. It was usually less than 0.4s. Even in low light situation, it worked fine. I took many shots with only one small table light in the living room so, ISO was 6400 and shutter speed was 1/4. Camera doesn’t seem to have any problem for AF. Nice thing as a entry level camera is that it supports up to 11 AF point and you can choose your AF point. Some may say, it lacks super impose. However, simply touching ‘ok’ button reveals current AF point in the LCD screen. So, that’s not a problem. AF is sharp and accurate. In MF mode, camera indicates the right focus in two ways both sound and indicator. So, there’s no problem using manual focus lens. in Liveview mode, Camera magnifies focus point to assist you, which is very useful since viewfinder is very small. High ISO support. This is the best part I like about this camera. It supports up to 6400, and can be expanded to 12800. I took several shots outside around 6:00 PM. My friends used flash but my K-x didn’t require flash. with 3200 or 6400 ISO, it still gave me clean bright pictures. Pentax did a great job reducing noise, especially color noise. It’s hard to find the noise from the pictures. Now, 3200 is something you can use everyday. Actually, scene mode for the kids uses very high ISO to get 1/1000s or faster shutter speed. Thanks to that, pictures for my kids are all sharp and crispy. User interface is very intuitive and simple. Since this camera is small, most of the buttons are within reach of your thumb and index fingers. Though it’s small, grip is ergonomically designed so that camera is very stable in your hand. It has one auxiliary button (green button), which you can assign other functions. It has drive mode, ISO, White balance, aperture and flash buttons. It also has dial to navigate menu faster. It uses 4 AA batteries and this is really nice. You can use your Ni-MH batteries or Lithium-ION batteries. It your camera is run out of juice, you can go nearby stores and buy one quickly. I took about 250 shots and I didn’t need to recharge yet. Camera recognizes battery type automatically and optimizes the operation. with all the bells and whistles, I think Pentax K-x is super buy for the beginners. Not only it has all the features needed, it outperforms higher grade DSLRs in certain area like low noise. Thanks to great compatibility for the mount, even 30 years old lens can be used for this fresh new DSLR. It was quite fun to look at postings to sell old, student film camera kit at bargain price and you can use lens out of it. I also got 50mm fast lens which is excellent to take portrait shot from used market. A few updates. 1. Some folks reported battery compatibility issue. Below is the blog of Pentax USA President. He recommended user to put batteries and wait for a few seconds so that Camera recognizes the type of batteries. [...] 2. It also reveals a few problems related to Shake reduction. First, it produces noise from magnet handling CMOS censor. Bad thing is, this noise is recorded in movie mode. K-7 also has same issue but it supports external microphone. K-x doesn’t allow that so, this can be one issue. 3. It also shows color overflow problem under low light situation, especially red and blue. When there’s bright light, for example traffic signal, red color or blue color spread around as if it overflows. A few users reported above problems to Pentax R&D and they are supposed to return by 11/9. I hope firmware upgrade will fix those problems. kostnad for viagra buy viagra Date: 2013-04-08 - 06:35:24 Author: Takeo Rating:    jLmvURPfYqUPIbDeG (Electronics) I purchased the K-X with the two lens kit with the 18-55 lens and the 55-300 lens. This is a wonderful little camera; the autofocus is fast and accurate, the menus are clear and easy to use, the picture modes let you play with your creativity or you can use it for just point and shoot, and it has manual control when you are ready to use it. I went with the long lens because I take a lot of detail shots and this lens does the trick for me. I haven’t yet found a situation where I needed to zoom in closer, and when I do I can always buy a longer lens. Back to size it’s a great one handed camera to use, I find the camera comfortable to handle and it feels well made. I’ve taken about an hour of video so far; it can shoot up to 25 minutes of video at a time. It’s not a video camera but when you want to take a video spontaneously it works great. For me the video is just icing on the cake. The photos are what I bought the camera for. I use mostly the aperture priority (to manipulate the depth of field or get low light shots) and the auto picture settings. And they come out consistently crisp and accurate. Sometimes you will have to manipulate the white balance settings especially when you use the low light capabilities of this camera without a flash, as with any DSLR. The camera has lots of digital filters to process your pictures with, and they are fun to use. What I love most is being able to use the high ISO settings and not need a flash indoors and still get great quality shots. I use rechargeable batteries in the camera and have now downloaded the new firmware so the camera recognizes them faster. This is a must do because before I had to turn the camera on and off and turn the live view on and off for it to recognize new batteries. I played with a few sets of batteries to make sure they would work. I’m saving the supplied lithium batteries to be a back up set when the rechargeable batteries get depleted. The in camera shake reduction works with all my lenses including my old manual lenses from 30 years ago. The neat thing about using manual focus lenses (and wearing glasses like I do) with this camera is that you can set the camera to beep when you have focused the lens correctly, and there is also a visual indicator when you look thru the viewfinder. And every Pentax mount lens you buy will work with this camera. life insurance quotes whole life insurance policies Date: 2013-04-10 - 06:43:03 Author: Jalen Rating:    PBsbLNAiTImUMUgQjHd Please don’t take this the wrong way, but any camera by one of the major manufacturers will fill the bill. The limiting factor on the quality of your pictures will be your skills or absence of them. An experienced photographer can take more impressive pictures with a cell phone camera than an unskilled photographer with an $ 5000 Canon 1D with a $ 3000 L series lens. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of your photography, your question should really be: “How can I become a better photographer?” So take yourself into a photo store and buy a point-and-shoot that offers manual controls that you can use once you learn how they work. Don’t let the salesperson convince you that more megapixels is better, because it’s not. Pick a camera that feels right. Then learn how to use it and suck up every bit of information that you can find about the photography craft. car insurance online life insurance quotes Date: 2013-04-10 - 06:43:08 Author: Kathy Rating:    bhHgXpTXfWzBQeyWaHt Please don’t take this the wrong way, but any camera by one of the major manufacturers will fill the bill.
