Pentax K20D, K7
Long exposure issues

I presently possess a Pentax K20D and that I am really dissatisfied with my transactions with Pentax reps. Possibly the possible lack of reactions, the indifference, or even the disrespect within the comments I'd obtained significantly worries me. Pentax is just a new camera organization plus one may believe they ought to fold over backwards to try and please their clients. I see no proof they care.

Once The K7 was introduced, I had been enthusiastic that ultimately they've handled the NR (noise-reduction) problem however now I'm twice dissatisfied the K7 has got the same issue. Am I the only real client that has reported about that issue? Or Pentax simply does not care?

There's a significant restriction with K20D which makes lamp exposures excessively challenging and boring. It entails necessary noisereduction which increases every publicity.

Exactly Why Is this an issue?

This affects almost all my evening photography. I love getting pictures of celebrity paths in my own backyard. For instance, a-10 second publicity will require an overall total of 20 minutes to accomplish. A week ago I needed to fully capture lightning, usually I'll abandon the shutter exposed to get a moment or even more. It had been thus annoying since I skipped a lot of possibly excellent pictures since the Pentax K20D was active performing its noise-reduction! Why oh why cannot I close this down?

I spoke to my Nikon and Cannon buddies plus they are astonished. One invested 20 minutes turning through selections, persuaded that there has to be a method to change of NR. Lastly, the grievances located on the pentaxforums established this can be a recognized issue.

Because this issue still exists using the K7 and you will find no indicators that Pentax cares to provide an answer, Pentax has dropped me like a client. I'll be promoting all my Pentax gear on eBay by June, easily see no answer.
