Hi All,

Just upgraded from a Canon G10 after spending many hours researching and visiting various photography outlets. Not having any dedicated DSLR equipment (lenses/flash guns etc) meant I could try several cameras within my budget and without bias. Consequently I have purchased a K-7 twin lens kit and am now beginning to learn how to use it properly. I did not set out to buy a Pentax and had to go out of my way to try one, but I don't regret my decision for a minute this really is a fantastic camera and perfect for my needs

Regards

Mark

Welcome to the forum and our wonderful world.

You'll soon learn that if you have a problem just ask, somebody will know.

Watch out though for LBA!

Welcome to the forum.
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

Apparently.
