Thanks for this I'll post any if I find them....looking for uncompressed samples!

This is the only video I've seen that appears to be original:

Seems like it was shot in a rather low light environment, considering that it looks good to me! (as far as youtube can look good)

would love to see some shots of people, aren't there any owners of K-x here to upload some samples?

Eruditass · 10-25-2009, 02:50 PM

Nice, wonder how much that high-ISO sensor performance helps!

K-x sample from Pentaxforum's falconeye:

He will also upload the same szene again, then shot with K-7. Thanks for that!!

EDIT: falconeye, if you read this, maybe you can post some of your impressions about the video mode of K-x ?

I am compiling a blog article about it and summarize it here. Stay tuned.

Thanks falconeye.....finally I can download an uncompressed sample, looking forward to hearing your views. Does turning on image stabilisation improve the 'rolling shutter' effect?

Thanks for that...

In the techradar review

Pentax K-x review from TechRadar UK's expert reviews of Digital SLRs

They mention that

Quote:

The K-x is imperfect, though. The so-called 'jello' effect, in which objects which move laterally across the frame appear skewed to one side, was a frequent bugbear during our testing. Fast pans, or vertical objects moving from side to side often wobbled badly.

The Pentax seemed more sensitive to this than other HD-DSLRs we've tested, with even small amounts of camera shake producing pronounced wobble.

Quote:

Another way to help avoid the jello effect is to enable the excellent SR (shake reduction) feature.

Pentax's SR works in the same way as Sony's SteadyShot system, by adjusting the sensor inside the camera rather than steadying elements inside the lens.

The chief advantage is you get optical image stabilisation on virtually every lens you can buy. (Pentax points out that screw-mounted lenses - which you need to use with an adaptor anyway - and 645- and 67-system lenses might not work.) So even more expensive fast telephoto lenses will have a few stops of stabilisation.

The system is very effective. At the far end of the bundled 18-55mm kit lens, using SR mode effectively cancelled out camera shake, which is excellent news for those caught in fading light without a tripod, or shooting video.

It also largely cancelled out all but the most severe cases of frame wobble, although it was still something we saw from time to time.

I was just wondering if turning on the SR reduced the effect, as the review states

tiny · 10-26-2009, 10:36 AM

Well I'm glad to see this thread exists, but I'm dissapointed by the lack of decent video so far. The best I've seen is some guy at the zoo, and the one posted here of the cat.

I will get my K-x later today, but the earliest I will be able to get a film up by is late tommorow night. Hope it stops raining long enough to get some outdoor footage.

Either way, I hope people start using vimeo.com - which has an option to allow for the original file to be downloaded.

karl79 · 10-26-2009, 12:47 PM

Hey tiny,

that would be very much appreciated!

But please don't shoot any flowers

Youtube - Disneyland fireworks at night. Assuming this is from onboard sound, doesn't sound too bad to me...sounds like it can do a job.
