Re: K-100D vs K-30 -- Noise at high ISO?
On Sat, Feb 08, 2014 at 09:16:35PM -0500, Glen Berry wrote: This is going to be a difficult question to answer without showing comparison images, but can anyone give me some sort of idea how noisy a K-30 is, compared to the much older K-100D? I went from a K100 to a K20 which was a small jump in high ISO performance to a K-x which was a huge jump above that, to a K-5 which was another big jump. Since the K-30 has the same sensor as the K-5 (I believe), the big difference is the 12 vs 14 bit D/A, I expect that the improved high ISO performance to be somewhere between mind blowing and orgasmic. Dxomark shows the high ISO of the K30 in the same range as the K5 and the Kx. One of the things that bugs me the most about the older cameras like the K-100D, is the very noticeable noise at higher ISO's. With every step above ISO 200, I can notice additional noise in the image. I think ISO 3200 is horrible. Above about ISO 800 IIRC on the K100, they stop boosting the analog gain and just use math to boost the ISO. You might as well just underexpose at ISO 800. I've read comments from folks who had much newer DSLR's of various brands, and some of those folks seem content with ISO 3200 on THEIR camera, and I think I've even read a few mentions of folks being satisfied with ISO 6400 for certain applications. With the K-5, I often shoot in excess of ISO 6400. This set of a burrowing owl was shot with the K-5 at ISO 10,000. I consider it much better than merely satisfactory. http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157634684347823/ So, how good is the K-30 with regards to high ISO noise, and try to compare it to an older model like the K-100D if you can. I'm hoping the K-30 will let me shoot a few stops higher ISO without sacrificing quality. Would that likely be correct? If not an understatement.

I own a K-30, but unfortunately I can't compare it with anything else, however I can tell you the following from my own year experience with it: * I don't see much difference between ISO 100, 200 or 400 in good light; (i.e. noiseless, thus no noise reduction;) * for ISO 400 sometimes I need mild noise reduction, depending on the light; * for ISO 800 I certainly need noise reduction, and the resulting image looks clean; * for ISO 1600 if the light is good, the case is similar with ISO 800; * for ISO 1600 if I shoot at night, there is visible noise, and I haven't yet mastered the RAW processing to eliminate it without making the photo look plastic-y; Higher than that I didn't need (I photograph mostly in daylight), thus I can't say... However take those above only as a data-point, maybe even an outlier, because I'm a beginner, and I didn't manage to sort more than 10% of my photos, of which I've post-processed only a fraction... Hope it helps, Ciprian. P.S.: If you buy a K-30 and get it with the 18-55 (WR) kit lens, depending on how much you pay extra I would buy the body only, because either way you need a better lens. The 18-55 (WR) is quite soft in the corners (regardless of aperture), and my estimation is that it performs better only between 24 and 45... -- 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.

I'm Back
I am back after traveling for almost 12 months. Here is a map type of thingy of where we stayed during the trip, Some places were a day, some 2 weeks. Less then 4% were caravan parks. The rest was either national parks or free camping. http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u626/sup8pdct/camps_zps3ec552b5.jpg My wife broke her camera in a remote spot in the northwest region. It was either save the camera or save her face and serious injury. She refuses to put the strap around her neck as it annoys the living hell out or her, so she was carrying it. Her foot got caught on a rock while getting over a pile of rocks. The camera (K5) went sailing through the air and hit a rock ripping the lens mount clean off the body. I put it back on again when we got back to camp without joining the wire up and it still worked, tho no telling when the screws will rip out again with a big lens or a minor fall. Off to the camera repair place soon with it. She also dropped it a few days earlier on to rocks. maybe that weakened it a little. Mine is fine tho it took a tumble out of the 4X4 and broke the 77mm skylight filter on the 16-50 2.8. Again, the wife was at fault. tho i didn't put it back in the camera bag so will still blame her ;) She is now asking 'can we go again, please?' The trip wasn't long enough, but pressing matters like seams to get in the way. I took something like 10,000 images on the trip. One or two may be good enough to get somewhere in comps.

Re: knaked men for knarf
I bet a good night's sleep (and maybe an aspirin) will restore some good humour and perspective to Larry. :-) I've been forced recently to deal with the puzzle of how to publicly publish image galleries with a degree of nudity in them. My conclusion: put your gallery up on DropBox. Each of the photography and art sites deals with nude and erotic content differently but the most common method is to trap it behind a wall that requires (a) sign-in and (b) individual viewers to opt-in to displaying so-called restricted content. That applies to Flickr and Behance. 500px will let a non-subscriber see a restricted image after challenging him to click a disclaimer button. But free 500px accounts cannot create galleries. I'd be curious to hear what photo.net and smugmug do about public display of nude/erotic content. Facebook and similar solve the nudity issue by not allowing any, period. So, upshot: put nude content on a server you control, and DropBox is a reasonable alternative atm. Of course, on self-hosted content you may still have to deal with your hosting service itself if somebody complains. You'd have to read your service contract very closely.

I used a Super Program at first, then a PZ-1 and PZ-1p. Observations, in no particular order: - Jeez, it is COLD when you're standing at the side of a slope (e.g. shooting races), not skiing. - Practice handling your camera with gloves before you're out on the slopes. Things feel different. - I took a 70-210 or 80-320 in a fanny pack to minimize bulk and maximize accessibility. - Anything throws one's balance off, though, so one must ski carefully when carrying the camera stuff. Falling on a camera hurts both the camera and oneself. - One's natural tendency is to make the ground level in the frame, which makes it appear as though the slope isn't very steep (even when it is). So finding a vertical reference and paying attention to it will produce more dramatic shots. - Snow is remarkably bright; so shooting with wide latitiude (print film then, low ISO now) is good for bringing out details in the subjects later.

I'm a bit stressed out over various things going on in my life, so I guess that after a long day my fuse was a little bit short. I've been forced recently to deal with the puzzle of how to publicly publish image galleries with a degree of nudity in them. My conclusion: put your gallery up on DropBox. I had to deal with dropbox for something for a friend once. It was a pain in the ass, but I suppose that it's better than using my own bandwidth to host things on my own server. Each of the photography and art sites deals with nude and erotic content differently but the most common method is to trap it behind a wall that requires (a) sign-in and (b) individual viewers to opt-in to displaying so-called restricted content. That applies to Flickr and Behance. 500px will let a non-subscriber see a restricted image after challenging him to click a disclaimer button. But free 500px accounts cannot create galleries. It also occured to me that this way flickr can force people to get flickr accounts, using dirty pictures as an incentive. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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: GESO: Musical Enablement (4 images)
Thanks for the tips, John. I don't know that I'd ever get a true-blue Tele twang given the pickup configuration and the difference between the contemporary and original wide-range humbuckers without using digital effects -- which is one of the things I really like about the Orange amps. And even using the effects, it would likely only be a reasonable approximation, I guess. But, to my ear at least, it gets pretty close as-is -- close enough that the average joe wouldn't be able to tell the difference. One of the things I've always liked about Teles is their versatility -- and this one has that in spades. I'm getting some really great crunch in overdrive that I haven't heard from standard Tele configurations, and a fair amount of twang when playing the bridge pickup when I pick closer to the bridge. I wish I had the money to drop on a more expensive amp -- hell, I'd have a Marshall double-stack and a full array of stomp boxes if I had the resources. I may invest in something a little more upscale down the road, but for the time being, the Orange seems to suit my needs pretty well. Though, I will be sure to look into the more affordable Fender amps you mentioned.

I don't know that I'd ever get a true-blue Tele twang given the pickup configuration and the difference between the contemporary and original wide-range humbuckers without using digital effects -- which is one of the things I really like about the Orange amps. And even using the effects, it would likely only be a reasonable approximation, I guess. But, to my ear at least, it gets pretty close as-is -- close enough that the average joe wouldn't be able to tell the difference. One of the things I've always liked about Teles is their versatility -- and this one has that in spades. I'm getting some really great crunch in overdrive that I haven't heard from standard Tele configurations, and a fair amount of twang when playing the bridge pickup when I pick closer to the bridge. I wish I had the money to drop on a more expensive amp -- hell, I'd have a Marshall double-stack and a full array of stomp boxes if I had the resources. I may invest in something a little more upscale down the road, but for the time being, the Orange seems to suit my needs pretty well. Though, I will be sure to look into the more affordable Fender amps you mentioned. The sad fact of the matter is that I'll likely never be good enough a player to play a gig before an audience that could distinguish between the sound I'm putting out and that of a standard Tele setup played in the bridge position.

I'll never be a good enough player to be worthy of the instruments I've accumulated over the years. I'm a good enough strummer to accompany myself when I sing, and just barely a good enough singer I don't embarrass my guitar playing. That won't stop me from buying a good guitar if I can finagle the necessary funds. I never set out to collect guitars, I just bought the ones I wanted to play whenever I could. I've got a 1997 Japanese Telecaster Thinline (not Squire, not re-issue) it *will* give you the twang if you want it. I've been playing since 1964 I've had time along the way to accumulate a few amps. I was using a Vibrolux Reverb (40W 2x10) before I got the Blackstar last year. I've had issues since my cancer surgery I wanted something that didn't require as much effort to lift. Mostly I play acoustic with friends at coffee houses and only the occasional electric jam at somebody's house, so I don't need that much power ... and 1W between 7 - 9 actually gives better tone than 40W between 1 - 2. I've gotten to where I don't really lust after the big amp anymore. If I was going to play anywhere I felt I needed the likes of a full-stack, I'd expect them to have a sound system a sound guy who knows how to mic a 40W 2x10 for best effect. Currently, I'm thinking about getting a bass. I'm waiting to see whether I'll have enough surplus funds after paying taxes this year. ... and since I've now finished paying for the Leslie amp/speaker I bought last summer, I find myself perusing Craigslist for the search term Hammond.

It doesn't seem to be the pre-curser to a permanent problem as it has happened throughout the life of the body. It's shot count is about 74,000 right now. -- Bruce Sent from my iPad On Feb 9, 2014, at 4:39 PM, John johnsess...@yahoo.com wrote: On 2/9/2014 11:13 AM, Aahz Maruch wrote: On Sat, Feb 08, 2014, Bruce wrote: I don't have a K3 but I have had this type of problem quite often with my K5. Basically when shooting rapidly (single shots) during soccer games, I have the camera lockup. It seems related to the shutter release and some other operation (focus or something) and then it locks up. The electronics stay on but it will not fire the shutter anymore. The only solution is to remove the battery. It doesn't seem related to a particular battery (Pentax or generic). I wonder if there is any relationship. That's what happened to me with a K-5 II as well (although I think I was shooting bracketed). I was wondering if shooting bursts in single shot mode might be over-taxing the electronics associated with the shutter release button? -- 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. -- 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: K3 Under pressure
Well, I see. I should point out that I have no clue as to how conductive of heat are the internals of the Pentax cameras and how heat conductive is the outer shell. I was merely suggesting that if too many shots were shot and it overheated, and somehow the sub-system that was supposed to notice that malfunctioned, it could have lead to the described behavior - the camera would take a shot, but down the imaging pipe it would refuse to write it to card (which by the way is significant source of heat, if I am not mistaken). Never happened to any of my Pentax cameras, yet. On 2/9/2014 6:15 PM, Aahz Maruch wrote: On Sun, Feb 09, 2014, Boris Liberman wrote: That sucks. Rob, can it possibly have to do with heat? Considering that my similar experience with a K-5 II happened while I was freezing outdoors in Alaska, I don't think so...
