Jun 4, 2011 - Does K-r shows informations on viewfinder? I see that k-x shows, but not k-r.

diehochzeitsdjs Says:

Jun 15, 2011 - Pentax K-r is a good cam to starting with DSLR. How much do you want to spend?

worldbmx Says:

Jun 17, 2011 - Well not that much because I don't have that much money but I think 5 500 SEK which is... 577,28  EUR817,19 USDI guess you live in czech republic so 5 500 SEK = 13 623,98 CZK.

Jun 17, 2011 - we live in switzerland. If you can test it you see the difference between the K-x and K-r in your hand.

Jul 1, 2011 - Grrr, maybe I should have gotten the kit lens with my K-r. I got the 460$ Sigma 17-70mm as opposed to the 18-55mm kit lens that, comparing the body & kit to just the body, amounted to 35$, and it focuses slower than this!

diehochzeitsdjs Says:

Jul 2, 2011 - yes, the kit lens is fast, we compare it to the DA* 16-50mm, the difference is not big.

biozastron Says:

Aug 2, 2011 - what are the biggest differences in both of these cameras?

diehochzeitsdjs Says:

Aug 4, 2011 - K-r: better display (resolution), autofocus is faster (Safox IX), autofocus points, better live view...

Aug 5, 2011 - I've just bought a K-r and it is very nice indeed. But i can't seem to record in HD, the results are grainy same as standard VGA. Any idea what the problem is?

diehochzeitsdjs Says:

Aug 5, 2011 - Push "Menu", go to side 3, then Video, Resolution, there you can switch from VGA to HD. Can you tell it if it works?

Oct 31, 2011 - @freemusicblogg the k-r does show information at the bottom of the viewfinder. It tells you if it is in focus or not.Tells you the apertureTells you the shutter speedTells you the ISOIt tells you wether or not flash should be usedIt tells you the exposure value -/+ 3.0 ev in 1/3 steps, it tells you quite alot, not forgetting the location of the chosen autofocus spot out of the possible eleven.
