The Book Arrives Downunder
G'day all Well the tracking this morning said that it was on the truck but it was after 3:30 this afternoon (Tuesday) before the FedEx man knocked on the door, book in hand. Just over a week from placing the order to receipt of the printed work. That's pretty amazing! I'm looking forward to sitting down tonight and going through it in detail but first impressions are that it is at least as good as last year - and that's high praise. The actual quality of the book production is definitely better this year. I went for the hard cover with dust jacket (the same as last year) and the binding and the fit of the dust jacket are markedly improved this time.

Put a Pentax Limited lens on it and the K-x might actually be smaller overall. Panny 428 g (15.1 oz) and Pentax 580 g (20.5 oz) A significant difference there, mainly because the K-X uses AA batteries. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: OT: DSLR Video
DSLRs like the Canon 5D Mk II create seriously good video for the money that can take advantage of interchangeable lenses. The two main downsides are ergonomics and (as noted) sound. A second system is required for good sound. The camera's rudimentary sound is left on to provide a reference track for syncing the second system in post. Those interested in reading more on the subject (which should apply to Pentax video, as well): http://jayshaffervideo.com/super-simple-second-system-sound-syncing-for-hdslrs/ Zoom H4n: http://www.amazon.com/Zoom-Handy-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B001QWBM62 I believe that a fullframe camera that does video + an inexpensive second sound system provides tremendous bang for the buck for todays videographer. As an aside, if Pentax comes out with a 645Dv (with video capabilities) they won't be able to build them fast enough. That kind of dynamic range combined with that many pixels would make a budding Francis Ford Coppola soil themselves.

One juxtaposition that I don't know if it was deliberate, is that there is a blonde in the background of Love Life on the T (p49) that looks a lot like the one in Exhaustion on p51.

Re: OT: DSLR Video
DSLR's have their place now in filmmaking (yes I know it's not film, but programme-makers still affectionately refer to the process as filmmaking, including this one) it is true - but there are limitations. If you're reading this thread then you will also find this article interesting: http://philipbloom.co.uk/2010/04/19/in-depth-interview-with-executive- producer-and-director-of-house-season-finale-shot-on-canon-5dmkii/ http://tinyurl.com/housefinalbloom I have no desire to rush out yet and buy a DSLR in the process of filming for TV. I have 2 cameras - a big shoulder-mount Sony DVCam and a small HD handheld. The problem with handheld filming is mass - the small cameras don't have the weight in them to steady things down. Not talking about image stabilisation or anything, just 'steadiness' of handheld shots, even zoomed out at wide angles. A weighty shoulder mount camera provides an extremely stable platform for handheld shooting. A small camera does not, and the movements can be jerky and nauseating as a result. Even on a tripod, a small camera does not cut it. A big camera weighing 20+ lbs will pan beautifully with a nice fluid head, and ride up and stop on a dime. A small camera will not. Next time you see a nature film with a panning landscape shot, watch how the operator slows the camera at the end of the pan until it just gently comes to a stop - rather than an abrupt jerky bump. A bit like stopping a car - you let up on the brake just before you stop other wise everyone jerks forward. That's skill, yes - but even a seasoned operator can have trouble getting that smoothness with a small camera even on a fluid head tripod. It's very difficult, even for me (!) but all these youngsters running around now with small cameras and DSLRs - they're all trying to do it and boy it makes me cringe when I see most efforts. Don't get me wrong - DSLRs and small handhelds have their place. I love shooting fly-on-the-wall with my small camera - it's unobtrusive and lightweight, I've got 2 mic inputs so can place a radio mic on a subject and get ambient with the on-board mic. Great fun and I love it. But if you're out getting nature, sport, documentary footage and so on, a big camera is a must. That said, DSLRs are there and there is now a growing aftermarket for balanced sound input/outputs, viewfinder add-ons, matte-boxes and so on. Very exciting to see where it goes. If it means more people get interested in video and start making programmes, I'm all for it. The one thing to watch though is that making a programme, fact or fiction, is all about telling a story. Great cameras make great shots, but great storytellers make great films. .02 -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche -- http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

K-7 replacement?
Is it just me or is there like no buzz about any forthcoming replacement for the K-7? It just seems that there's been a new camera on the horizon about this time the last few years. They've been churning out the PS cameras pretty quickly lately and there are these colorful KX bodies.. maybe they figured to let the K-7 simmer a while. Problem is, what am I supposed to obsess about? I still want a K-7 to replace my K10 but certainly most who would buy one have one already and the new body should be here to kick-start the obsessions again... Ah, well... back to computer stuff.

So they can delay the K7 replacement for a while longer, sell more K-xen and have more time to spend on development of performance boosts for the K-x. However, I doubt that they think that strategically. Another question is whether they'll go for incremental improvements in areas like autofocus, or if they are ever going to just start over with a fresh design and look for a huge improvement. The alternative is that Pentax could be devoting all of their engineering resources to the 645D series. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

assume that while people won't buy a bottom end camera after buying
the high end camera, if they sell as may K-xen as they can, then
people are more likely to get the high end body sooner afterwards. So
they can delay the K7 replacement for a while longer, sell more K-xen
and have more time to spend on development of performance boosts for
the K-x. However, I doubt that they think that strategically.
Another question is whether they'll go for incremental improvements in
areas like autofocus, or if they are ever going to just start over
with a fresh design and look for a huge improvement.
The alternative is that Pentax could be devoting all of their
engineering resources to the 645D series.
Well, there could be a K-7n which wouldn't be a whole new camera but one
just one upgrade, I think the ZX-5n was introduced just about 6 or 7
months after the ZX5, and it's only real improvement was a DOF lever. A
major improvement in my opinion. However the K-7 and 645D seem to share
their user interface in large part so I expect that firmware and
internal system boards are mostly interchangeable. In fact if it were
me, only the imaging subsystems and body shells would be different. It
would save a lot on the manufacturing costs of the 645D if almost
everything, not image and lens mount related, was shared with the K-7.

FPS would probably be easier to implement than AF changes, the hardware
changes there are much more straight forward and almost no software
changes would be needed. AF would requre a major processor upgrade and

I believe in OOF images, and it would double franks production.

I still see room for solid, no-frills improvement. Most importantly, they should scrap this miserable Samsung sensor and fit the successor to the K-7 with a decent Sony sensor to put an end to this grotesque situation where the picture quality - in terms of noise and dynamic range - of their top-of-the-line model is largely inferior to their current entry-level camera.

Re: K-7 replacement?
I'm expecting an incremental upgrade also. Call it the K7i for implementing what they learned with the K-x processor/software for high-ISO handling. I'd also love to see a K200d equiv. with K-x innards (bigger size in your hand, and keep the weather seals, AF-focus LED in finder, plug for intervalometer, live view, video, etc.). That would fit between the flagship and the K-x.

Re: K-7 replacement?
I would expect the 645D electronics in a K-7n after the release of the 645D.
They will have done some tweaks to the K-7 electronics in the 645D,
and they'll bring them back to the K-7 as a K-7n.
My 2 cents... Bob S.

They could produce the K7 in a variety of colors. :)
Someone once pointed out that Pentax seems to alternate usability and
performance updates (one might argue on the term upgrade with any particular
usability feature).
I doubt that the form factor will change from the K7. It's something that
too many people like.
