A Pentax which doesn't go "clunk"! Now that's something new. Mind you, for a grand, I'd expect it to purr excerpts from La Traviata and pay me expansive compliments!
Have fun with it!

ah baby! What a sweet machine!
Took it out with my Tamron 18-200 after work today. Did a test drive. Smooth as silk operation, brilliant pictures, so satisfying to hold and "fondle", and to my eyes ISO 1600 pictures inside were amazing.
Ok, I am becoming borderline "kinky" over this camera. Maybe finding love in all the wrong places? Gawd, I need a life! LOL

Pentax K-5, Tamron 17-50, Tamron 70-300, Metz 50 AF-1 flash, and working on buying more lenses in the future. It never ends.

The noisy shutter on my K10D is positively embarrassing at weddings
The camera virtually jumps off the gorillapod on multi-frame with a remote.
I've only ever hankered for a K20 for noise control and focus adjustment, but now I'm thinking I should hold out for the K7...rats

A good camera deserves a good lens. You won't know how good it is until you get a better lens.

Depends on what you shoot James. Might be worth going back through images you have taken with your current lens to see what sort of focal length you prefer

You know Huw (awesome name btw)...I really like the convenience factor of the 18-200. But with the K7, I feel like it doesn't belong. Kind of like putting a Toyota engine in a Mercedes?
