Why 無人 talk Pentax *ist Ds ??

I am thinking buy D70 or *ist Ds.
As I know D70 is very Professional and good D-SLR.

但 *ist Ds "Pentaprism" View Finder 好吸引 !!
I tasted it at 永明 , is better then D70 alot. (95% View) and
very big and clear..

also LCd have 2.0' and 2xx pixel.. better then D70 and 300D right ?

Any *ist Ds user Please tell me more about this D-SLR..

Thanks..

Concerning focusing speed somebody say is slow. But how slow it is?

我在x'mas 買了ist DS with 18-55 f3.5-5.6 len.
我的用後感:

對焦1:
在光源充足下,對焦滿意(平均); 但300d才叫"快".
tele 時marco 都滿意(比預料好)
但在暗位下, 以dslr來說>>好慢.可以要成1-3秒... <<(很難接受dslr...)

對焦2:
不過對焦好準,即使幾暗,對焦時間幾長,結果一定會對到焦而且十分準確.

細部放大超清楚:
ist ds 不單只準,而且好details!
例如用18mm(27mm)影室內,放大睇相時,非主體的細部文字極為清晰. 極可以用作影文件頂當, 唔駛marco都已好清.

富立體感,層次感:
尤其影室內背景豐富時,色實,不浮,而且又因為細部清楚,出來結果個人覺得好sharp,有現場感.

顏色因default設為濃度高,所以D色可以好attractive,但又不會假同膠感.可以選擇設定回nature color.

Noise:
800好實用,no problem;1600因人而異,個人可以接受(if 4R).

唔鍾意menu and preview button 在左邊.

算方便的快速鍵, they are for:
-flash
-WB
-ISO
-Drive mode

AWB個人覺得只屬"平均".

影像處理速度快:
save冇delay.
Preview next image冇delay.
continous shoot 後save幾快攪掂.

LCD 極清楚又大又光.

開機快,熄機仲快.

電我用panasonic 24,未作過長跑測試但應該係"平均"level,要買多4粒交換.

都係咁多勒..

VF is bigger but not as bright as D70
AF slower than D70 or 300D esp in low light condition (AF assistant lamp only available when you used the int/ext flash)
Accessory/lens is less than other brand in the market
Not as sharp as D70

Can choose the bright mode (less PS) or natural mode (for PS)
USB 2.0 is faster
Color tone (in natural mode) like KM D7D (more natural than D70 or 300D)
Bigger VF more suitable for MF
Light weight and small size like a consumer DC

I just used it for two mths only, hope this can help.

重有,
view finder 係簡陋左D.
又真係好似暗D.

HELLO:
I USE MY NEW LITTLE TOY : PENTAX*istDs ABOUT 60 DAYS.
I FIND THAT, THE AF IS SLOW IN SO DARK AREA. ( BUT VERY ACCURATE ) AND ONLY IN SO DARK AREA, ( MAY BE 2-3S ) IF IN DAY TIME.THE AF IS VERY QUICKLY ! JUST LIKE MY OLD 300D OR MORE ! AND VERY ACCURATE ALSO.

THE AUTO WHITE BALANCE IS NOT TOO BAD( ONLY A LITTLE BIT BLUE, WHEN USE AWB. ( BUT I ANY TIME NOT USE THE AWB.) AND BETTER THAN THE D70.

THE NOISE LEVEL A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN 300D. BUT NOT SO HIGH, JUST SAME AS THE D70, ACCEPTABLE. AND LOWER THAN THE E-300.( BUT YOU CAN SEE THE SAMPLE PHOTO OF E-300, IS GOOD PHOTO TOO..........)
THANKS!

優點: 細、輕(以DSLR計)

- 外殼頗堅固
-手感不俗
-色彩艶丽,鮮明(DSLR中少有) 而層次不俗 !
-對比度及清晰度均不錯。
-使用AA電
-LCD很好(調光暗-2更準)
-AF很準(很放心)
-手動功能多(以平價機計)
-KIT LENS 質數不俗(28MM佳,變型少! 但85MM時不夠利)
-菜單清楚易用。
-內閃頗强。
-價錢平。( 本人買時機身HK$6，200 )
-內置數碼濾鏡(DSLR中少有)
-360AF外閃不貴(約HK$1,400左右)
-整體：滿意。(以入門機來說可謂完美了！)
缺點: -內閃回電較慢。(如用中高輸出，連對焦一分鐘約只能拍10-11張)
-室內對焦頗慢，但準(感覺上跟A200差不多，但日光下則快而準！)
-雜訊較多了一點(相對於C牌) 但可接受 (跟D70差不多。)
-使用AA電使重量增加。

終於有Pentax討論區啦

[akina]

又有:

唔知我唔識定係meter問題,
內閃 好似唔係好穩定.
同一個角度和主體影幾次,可以有時under,有時over.
有時要flash compen 修正...
(晚間在室內)

請網友證實及指教!

PS: THE AF OF PENTAX*istDs IS NOT SO SLOW IN MY STUDIO ALSO.
JUST OK !

[t-800]

HELLO:
其實pentax lens 不是想像中那樣難求的，尤其質高价廉的MF舊鏡。
祝大家:HAPPY NEW YEAR .
PS: PENTAX*istDs CAN USE MOST PENTAX 645 PROFESSIONAL LENS ALSO.

akina兄,
請問你個WB是Set左什麼呢?

[akina]

flash 果隻..

[mrskyhook]

for the viewfinder brightness, it depends on how fast the lens is. D70's kit lens is more expensive and faster than pentax's kit lens (F3.5-4.5 vs F3.5-5.6, is it?). so you find D70's viewfinder is brighter.

But for the same lens, say both are 50/1.4, i believe *istDS's viewfinder is brighter becoz *istDS uses Pentaprism, but D70 uses Pentamirror, right?!

and the size of viewfinder of *ist DS surely much bigger than D70 (0.95x vs 0.75x)


Sometimes i use Pentax old prime lens. i like it very much... both the build quality and optics!

Can any one make some comments on their kit len? Thank.
