Ok, so I like the crops, but tbh I actually prefer the colour versions.
I second that.

Well, I do tend towards something like a very mild form of OCD when it comes to my pictures - straightening, removing colour casts, editing out minor distractions.

Maybe you're a tad saner than I am!

1 and 4 for me.

But I would probably have edited out the spider silk(?) in no 4. But that's just me.

Mine's a Lumix G6.

There is no truth in the rumour that I got it because from a distance, on a misty day, it looks a bit like a Leica R8!

If it's of any use, the dealer Cameraworld would, other factors being equal, class around 10,000 clicks as Excellent condition.

But they are dealers...

I think the K10D was the last of the CCD sensor models, the 20 was the first of the CMOS.

Alternatively one could purchase the camera one's lusting over after all the hype rather than the new Pentax lens that hasn't been released yet and try it out before committing to completely change. Might find out the grass wasn't greener after all.
Pitfalls of other brands:
Lack of backward compatibility;
No TTL viewfinder;
Can't see the back screen when it is sunny to frame the shot;
Menu systems leaving you to trawl through various layers just to change modes rather than have a programmable button for it.
I'm pretty sure more can be added to the list.
5 Questions to Ask Before Switching Camera Brands
You're missing the main one for most of the members of this board: Doesn't have Pentax written on it.

A bit like Leica fan-boys and the little red dot...

Nice pic, but you do realize it's going to end up on some UFO loon's site as evidence of an alien visitation?

with an illegal number plate?
Yeah, known as 'the bacon slicer', iirc.

had a later version, lovely bike . number plate not illegal at the time it was produced which i think because of that they are allowed, same as having no seat belts in cars that were produced before the legislation came in to effect, bonnet mascots were another thing that got done away with but still see them on classic cars
It's age probably explains the lack of tax, too.
