Originally posted by dande Sorry jimiz, but I don't really get you. Why on earth do you demand 25P? I live in Europe, and I have found yet no drawbacks of the 30P only the fact that it isn't 24P "cinema" mode, but to be honest, it is something I think a bit overreacted (sorry C. W).
Just go out, take nice pictures, shoot great movies, you can. If it was possible with a 8mm camera, it is certainly possible with a K-7.
because IF you like make a dvd (25 frames is STANDAR 50i o 25P)
the "fluidity" of the 30P can't be replicate...
30P > 25P = little more slow...and this is not a BIG problem...BUT every second you have a big JUMP.. evident on Pans and moviments obyects , person ecc... also are move slowl...
I try many different's "sets" & "config"...and i'v see the best result I have with VEGAS...also because ONLY vegas can make a project with 30P fix (not 29..but 30 FULL frames x sec. , yoiu can select them custom..) all the anothers programs (premiere, edius,ecc..ecc..) can open project with NTSC standar , SD o HD..like ofcourse 29,97 frames x sec , named also 30P..but thereis not the "FULL" 30 P what have the k7 .
BUT unfortunatly..also with the best mode on VEGAS... the "jump" every second (30P > 25P) you see much!
I'v read something about convert 25P to 24 P and later again to 25P...
but how many RE-compression's must have the native video ? and ofcourse , all this work HAVE thesame "FLUIDITY" of the native 30P or also "JUMP" ?
If pentax "LIKE" give us the 25 P... I think ALL the EU (and not only) USERS can say THANKS...because avery body can ofcourse take a movie with 30P IF he like...but WHO like later put all on DVD can be the BEST way...
no coversion , more quality, and ofcourse no JUMPS...
the question is... IF that is not a BIG work for pentax, to adj. on a new firmware, why say... "MMMH...JIMIZ IF YOU DON'T LIKE PENTAX CHANGE ..." ?!?
that's have really no sense... but IF you are happy to became NOTHING of pentax , buy pentax.
PS...REMOTE ASSISTANT a big usefull program, where CANON have also of anothers SOFTWARE houses (BREEZE) , used in MANY professional shops and foto nature equipment...and more... YOU think pentax have made a BIG thing fot the k7 users to give not any update , but olny for k20 users?
Yes you knowthat before buy the k7...but THIS is all what you can say for DEFENCE the PENTAX "politcy".... sorry but these answers is like climb on mirrors... for me are really bad , and this IS "publicity - spot".
PS..CINE FORM is not a free porgram of PENTAX.JAP for the k7 users...sorry...
