Have to say I do wish it had been on the market when I bought my Nikon P80, I would much have preferred this X70 but there you are you buy things when you need them and then along comes something you would have prefered, can only hope the P80 falls apart and gives me an excuse.

Yes I've been looking at the p90 but as I am a Pentax freak it will be the Pentax

Don't think I can warrant changing it, it gives a fair result and apart from the stupid rubber doors and the fact that you can't change the battery or the card with a quick release plate on I have no real reason to complain.

Just enlarged one of the shots and it looks as if it will have the same problem with the quick release plates.

Well apart from those problems I think it would be nice to loose some weight(my kit i mean) I just wonder what the quality will be like as I have no chance of finding out here in Spain.

i expect the quality to be good but i expect at 22x zoom even optical will lose alot of colour, my fuji 18x does,

Thordell makes a good point about QR plates. Does it shoot RAW?
I'm not showing it to my husband - he'll want one.....but then again maybe I'll get my Ds back then. Hmmm.

That's the one thing I don't know yet, if it doesn't do raw that would be disappointing

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Surely that dubious prize goes to the Z series cameras, or perhaps the white K-m?
