Re: K-1 grumbles

The buffer issue is partly why I bought a D750 instead of a K1, there's plenty to love about the K1 but AF and buffer depth aren't on the list. The D750 has a buffer depth count-back that lest you know as you're shooting how many shots you have left in the buffer, not that it's really a problem

Re: K-1 grumbles

I believe the D810 has a larger buffer. Does it not? The buffer on the k-1 is pretty anemic. On Wed, Oct 11, 2017 at 1:53 AM, P. J. Alling wrote: > I've been looking into that and it seems that all Pentax cameras that have > been tested recently have about a 36 mb/s

Re: K-1 grumbles

I've been looking into that and it seems that all Pentax cameras that have been tested recently have about a 36 mb/s write speed regardless of how fast the card is, though they can't write faster than the card will accept the data. I got curious since I don't shoot Nikon, so I haven't been

Re: K-1 grumbles

The bus write speed on pretty much all recent Pentax cameras tops out at about ~36 mb/s, maybe a little faster,  but closer to rounding down than to rounding up. The claimed card speed of 85-90 mb/s is usually the read speed of the card.  Write speed is often less than half that, sometimes a

Re: K-1 grumbles

Well, OK the K3ii has a thing for mikes. I'd try using a single point sensor or, at least, one with fewer sensor points. J Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 10, 2017, at 2:12 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > > > > Jack Davis wrote: >> Hi, Larry. In what way is the K1 >> focusing better

I'll bet your cards are slow. I shoot football, including action sequences and have no buffer problems. I use Sandisk Extreme Pro 64 gig cards. And set the camera to record on both simultaneously. I agree about the focus pound before BH too central but it's not a big problem with sports work in

Are you quite certain you are using a fast enough SD card, and is there any possibility that you might have enabled any processing feature(s) that could be slowing things up? Even with the much larger 645Z files I have _never_ encountered anything like what you describe. If I had, I would have

K-1 grumbles

In many many ways the K-1 is an amazing camera. If all I did was portraits, landscapes and still lifes it would be damn near unbeatable, especially for the price. However, for action photography, it can really suck donkey balls. The focusing is a huge improvement over the K-3ii, but the focus
