Not quite ventured into a full-on DSLR yet - hoping I can gain some invaluable knowledge in what's the best magazines to read for DSLR reviews and advice - also gain your personal hands-on experience of what will be the best camera to aspire to for someone who's never used an SLR - hopefully with the gallery I can share some of my most special pictures I'm most proud of taken with my trusty A20.

Special mention to 'loskeran', thank you for the warm welcome to the site..

looking forward to speaking with you all.

kind regards

Welcome , don't worry that you only have an optio, I've just bought anew Optio E50 as a pocket cam to go with the DSLR.

So far the pics are great, typical Pentax quality!

Cheers, HG
