New Pentax Optio cameras fully leaked
Not so sure about these, I would prefer Pentax went this way but with Pentax lenses!! Jack.:lol: Trying to manually focus with an electronic viewfinder would be hopeless though :!: I didn't have a problem with the X70, I used the back screen most of the time anyway :lol: Jack.

New Pentax Optio cameras fully leaked
I meant those all-plastic slr-shaped fixed focus cameras you sometimes see at car boot sales! Pehaps that was a bit harsh - the point was that the outward appearance was like an SLR when the camera was no such thing.

New Pentax Optio cameras fully leaked
I'm considering a canon g11, had the g5 and loved it. do any pentax p&s cameras have dedicated flash hotshoes and synch up to 1/500 or 1/1000? "M" mode? Raw capture? :roll: I had the G2 and it was my favourite compact. I keep thinking about buying one from the bay just for old times sake although...

Burns Night/Australia Day
I reckon we ought to have a Pentax Forum day. Think about it, the Scots and Aussies are all over the world bit like Pentax Forum folk. My vote is for January 26. The day Mark got his kit back. Well, another excuse for some tonsil wash but for me nothing less than 40%. Cedric :wink:

Red Snapper RS284 tripod - initial thoughts
Took delivery of my Red Snapper RS284 tripod today (after mulling over which tripod to buy for an age!), so thought I would post my initial thoughts. The RS284 is a 4 section aluminium tripod, which was around £50 with a free 3 way head and good quality carry bag. Upon opening the package I wa...

Amateur Photographer Poll
It's the only photo mag I buy frequently, but this issue irritated me at the beginning and the end! Editor Damien Demoulder's piece to kick things off seems to pretty much discourage anyone from buying Pentax by implying they're slowly disppearing from view. And on the back page Roger Hicks (a...

What is it with UK companies and online ordering?`
Warning: rant. I want / need a studio flash. I had hassle before christmas with SRS trying to get them to deliver to a different address - "nyet" - won't work. Because of security. Thing is, we both work. It's a flat. UPS fail epically in finding it, never call first, and will guaranteed tr...

dunno about IBAN transfers - but I feel your pain :( I've had a similar experience dealing with the USA from here. I fall foul of the Verified by Visa scheme - I HATE it like poison , it never ever ever works for me. OK - my experiences Ordering my K-x which came from Adorama - ordered ...

As I once had someone clone my card and spend £13,000 out of my account (and no, I don't normally have that amount of cash and that is another story), I should be grateful that there are security checks. The problem I have is that there appears to be no mechanism by which you can set things up in a...

Slightly off topic, but we stopped taking cheques, the day we had one returned unpaid, even though we had the guarantee card! Every single detail was written off the card on the back of the cheque, the signature matched, the limit was £100, and £85 of goods was bought. Conversation with the b...

so, a PS to this: I picked up a new set of headphones via creditcard. They asked me to call them back to verify my identity - anti-fraud measures - and what happens? My card details get stolen and misused. Yay! Well over €1000 later, I discover what's going on. Nice. Card is only two months old...

Luckily I was standing in the bank in St Albans talking to them about my card (which I had with me) when someone in India spent two grand on jewellery on my behalf. Luckily I got all the money back. The biggest problem was that I had to fill in a return a form about it within two weeks. Only prob...

When I was in the US in December my Bank - Nationwide was most unhappy that I would be using my card there - no security they said because PINs were not used . I had to tell them which shop it was being used in and roughly the amount I would be spending , exactly when I would leave the UK and when I...

Security through obscurity; hiding the key under the stone rather than the mat. Yes, I made a purchase - and was requested to call back for "anti fraud" measures. Then my card got cloned anyway. I'm also obviously not the only one. Guarantee? No. The law says that I am protected, not the bank...

What is it with UK companies and online ordering?`
My experience has been that my card issuer is very sensitive to online and mail order purchases. They tend to block first and ask questions afterwards, which leads to phone calls needing to be made. Oddly, they do this even if the payments/ourchases follow the same pattern and would seem logical....
