I was trying some filming with my DA* 50-135, and it looks decent. I suppose really good lenses can be a great help for the video quality.

The Nikon adapter has an aperture control, it doesn't seem like there is aperture control for the Pentax adapter? That's a bummer.

I'd argue that it totally depends on the situation. To support my statement, this is a video I made a week or two ago the weekend of the U.S. Inauguration. Yes, it is political, but that's not the point in this instance :lol:
















Youtu.be




I used a Vixia H whatever and a Galaxy S4. (Except the opening scene was on a proper camcorder, Canon G30). Both cameras have decent stabilization (correction, the camcorder is way better with stabilization), and pure quality is not the primary goal in this documentary situation. And I would say that the S4 is about as sharp as my K-30 with M 50 1.7. I could even grade the S4 footage better, it seemed to have better tolerance, than some footage I've tried to grade from both a K-30 and a D3200. Although it's not a scientific test, I'm not trying to make any claim here, I'm just saying that smartphone footage is really not all that terrible. It is a small, compact camera, everyone has one, therefore it attracts little attention. Nice and wide too.

My K-30 certainly does not have good dynamic range in video mode, the blacks are crushed far too easily, same with the highlight-blowing. But, in an interview situation, with good lighting, I'd choose the K-30 over a smartphone. For that shallowness :lol:
I have shot 720 60p and slowed it down, but again, it isn't relevant for the style I was shooting said video in.

The main issue I have with the smartphone is how slowly it responds - the shutter lag, I suppose one could call it :lol:


P.S. Lauren, If you have any feedback on my editing of the video, I'd greatly appreciate it!

In many informal documentary situations I'd choose my galaxy s4 over my K-30.
But I have a legitimate question - my experience is limited to my K-30. Is the K-1 noticeably better?

Of course not. No one has said Pentax doesn't do video :lol:

But I'm sure you of all people know its limitations.

I'll use my K-30 + M 50 1.7 in any interview situation, and in fact I have done so several times.

Yes. Yes Yes yes Yes!

I'd say the Movie SR isn't the main thing that is butchering it, but that said I don't use it... of course, proper physical SR would be preferred!

Oof! :lol:

But considering the price of the K-1... I doubt it?

It actually matters. Really, it does.

Speaking for myself, I'm going to stick with my k-30 until Pentax has good 1080p. If they don't, I'll upgrade eventually, but spend some money in another brand too... is that what they want? :lol:

honestly, a used a6000 with good 1080 60p footage is $320. $20 adapter for pk lenses, & with manual lenses, pretty set! I'm tempted :lol:

ATM I would go for a Panasonic G-85, but I have a Canon G30 that is good enough for me.
