OK not a fantastic start to a FSDthread on PENTAX forum but my mate the one who works for pressupos who i dosure afternt trust anymore has offered me a Cannon GP605.
So was wondering if you guys have any experience of this camera (the GP stands for general photography aperently).
He is going Nikon fulol time so his Cannon gear is up for grabs.
Opinions appreciatred prety fast as there is someone else after it so he says but not sure after DFS debacle

It's not about what kit I've got, its about having the knowledge to use it to maximum potential.

I would swap. Take him up on the offer, please, then you can go haunt the Canon copier forum instead of taking the p out of everyone here.

You should comfortably be able to print to A3 with that model. Think its a very good choice, despite being a tad bigger than your Pentax.

Go for it!

It has a larger sensor area than a full frame camera, and will be a fun tool for group portraiture.

Make sure you get him to include the kit bag for it though

I strongly recommend you test this unit before you buy it. Drop pants, sit on imaging sensor area, press the green "Copy" shutter button, and replace your avatar with the new photo.
If anybody here can spot the improvements then you will know you've made the right choice.
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Buy it quick, don't let the other interested party get their mits on it first.

Who wouldn't give their right arm for A3 prints with no magnification. Awesome.

Pssst: Is he still here?

What a waste of time, just ignore it, like a naughty child he she or it may get fed up and go away, with luck anyway. But just ignore.
