Thanks Andy.
I have looked at that one, but it gets mixed reviews (but so did my K-r and it's brilliant......)
Although I haven't managed to use it much, I have found the Velbon slider very good and stable - much better than the Manfrotto focus railThanks Andy.

I don't know how much you are having to part with for the minolta unit, but have you considered the Velbon super mag slider? It gives sideways as well as forward/backward adjustment as well. SRS have it for £60

Its stating the obvious - but there is also a considerable weight difference 'twixt the Sigma and a superzoom camera!

I would be careful of changing lenses with camera powered on. There have been one or two stories of lenses packing up - ie those with the the electrical contacts.
Having said that, I am not sure why the spots disappear with the workaround you suggest!! The spots do look rather like 'hot-pixels' to my eye. I have some on the K7 that show up on stills with the NR switched off. They often 'disappear' when using a programme like LightRoom at default settings.
i can't speak for video as haven't looked that closely.
interesting to see that the K5 is SO much better in low light video!

One bad experience with the Inov8 from SRS. Failed each time after only a few shots both occasions I tried it - just stopped dead and made me think the (new to me) camera had failed. Bad moment. I'm sure it must be one rogue example, or SRS wouldn't stock it, and they have replaced it immediately.
I had one of these - lower capacity than Pentax one and whilst still works, I think it is losing charge quicker nowOne bad experience with the Inov8 from SRS.
