FS - K10D Body Kit

Looking to sell a very slightly used K10D body. Has 2590 shutter clicks. Complete with original box and all items originally contained in the box, including battery. Absolutely no wear visible. I bought this K10D late in its product cycle, a few months before the K20D was available. I

Thanks Joe. I too shoot a lot of high ISO, particularly when shooting wildlife or sports. I will probably pass. Paul > On Oct 25, 2018, at 4:20 PM, jtainter wrote: > > Paul, the main controversy concerns the fact that Pentax added unavoidable, > baked in noise reduction, apparently kicking

Re: K-1 Mark II Upgrade?

Paul, the main controversy concerns the fact that Pentax added unavoidable, baked in noise reduction, apparently kicking in at ISO 640. It cannot be turned off. Some people are bothered by the resulting images being softened a little, some people are bothered by it in principal, some people

Battery life isn’t a factor for me. I always shoot with the grip installed and have never come close to depleting the batteries. I asked before about the resulting improvement but got no answer here. It may be too late for the upgrade now. Should have asked on Pentax Forum, but I hate

No, I don't think so.  Ricoh has dropped almost all of it's small sensor cameras, in line with most of the rest of the industry, only Sony can afford to buck that trend, at least temporarily. The closest thing they have is the Q series which aside from being available new only in Japan at

Interesting indeed. It *sounds* very nice... If it delivers even a half of that, it might be a nice "always-in-the-pocket" camera. I haven't seen cameras that are _this_ small, especially with such a long zoom. The first main drawback that I've noticed is a fairly slow lens: F3.5 (W) -
