Hey, stop hijacking my first thread! I'll be speaking to you later Mr Wood!

He's right though the camera has been awesome so far - Kevin printed a few things last night and the definition in them was stunning! Such a huge leap from the DL2 and I'm glad we bought it.

And Aminstar - get your buns inside that club next session - should be good fun

Thanks for the welcome all!

Ah Aminstar, nice try but no.

We were in Winchester at London Camera Exchange as a Pentax Pro branch (they aren't any more now btw ) but they had no K-7 or K-X in stock and we weren't making a momentous decision like this until we had poked and prodded the various options! We knew LCE were expensive (but close to home) and had some internet offers with us to barter with, inc the SRS one, so on the way back I said, lets go to Watford! Afterall it is shopping related and I'm always up for that

I threw you because the once a month Monday is their extra tutorial sessions (that are proving invaluable for a beginner like me) and the main club is on a Friday night!

Hi there.

My husband has been lurking for a little while on this forum and after looking at a link he sent me today I decided to join.

My first SLR was an iST but my husband is much more the technical one and I'm the "Creative Director" with 'take a piccy of that' being a very common comment!

We bought the DL2 just over 3 years ago as a wedding present to ourselves but after joining a local camera club a couple of months back decided 4 days ago to buy the fab K-7 (from the lovely chaps at SRS). Hubby couldn't come to the club last night so I got to show off the new camera all on my own and actually I learnt a lot so maybe he will just have to use the DL2 when they next have a practical evening!

Anyway, looking forward to reading lots of good stuff.
