Fantastic Phil, hope you capture lots of great images.
We'll be keenly waiting for some sample shots as soon as you can get something online. There's Your Photos in the forum and of course the Gallery as well.

Same boat...
Moved from K-r to K-5II and similarly impressed.
Would have liked the 'S' but my brain wouldn't let me pay extra for having something absent lol. Perhaps a camera engineer could explain
Anyway...try not to post any amazingly better pictures 'cos the left and right sides of my brain are still fighting over that decision

Bill - well spotted, although I didn't actually notice John's (very funny) typo!
Steve - I know what you mean, but in the end I went with the advice I received here and elsewhere (and the cash-back helped). However, when I do eventually get around to taking an amazing picture, it won't be because of the technology, it'll be because of a creative spark that comes from who knows where!

Agree! You should have left it.
Back to the OP, I started with the K-r which was good and now have the K-5II - not the S but, nevertheless, I agree with all your comments in the first post here Phil ("swarf"). I'm sure you will enjoy taking photos even more with your new Pentax - have fun!

In any case, you'd need to check the Terms & Conditions - to find out the recommended maximum size

I am sorry, you are all talking s*it. It is the size of the aperture that makes the difference to a great sh*it!

I've only fired off a few snaps at home so far but VERY impressed at the quality and sharpness of the images compared to the K-r. Focus is also much snappier, especially in low light. The layout is a great improvement for me - all the "important" bits seem to be in the right place, mind you I do have quite small hands - it might be a little tight for those with big fingers.
I bought mine from SRS, the first time I have visited the store. I can only echo what others have said about the quality of their customer service. As customers, I know that we should expect good customer service wherever we shop, but far too few retailers seem to realise that. From my (limited) experience of SRS on-line, and now in person, they certainly get it.
