The Manchester store has MZ-5n for £29 - 4*! Tempted but a bit like Matt, can I really be bothered with film again?

Have you tried Jacobs? They have stores in Sheffield/ Hull/ Newcastle:

I guess they could be a bit far away, though

Can't help thinking that some of the seemingly over-zealous approach to anti-terrorism will actually accomplish what the terrorists want; a place where no-one wants to live/ visit, and people live in fear!

Is that the straight price, or is it an upgrade price? I was offered 'ultimate' at an upgrade price of £47.50 last week, and have now received this later offer.
I plan to ring them up!

A problem with liveview in the K10D over the K20D is the CCD sensor - it would quite quickly overheat if running in live view mode (K20D has CMOS, and uses less power). Also I strongly suspect that the circuitry isn't there to give anything like a useable 'update' speed from the sensor to the LCD.

I guess they could add the BF/ FF adjust and maybe the latest SR improvement that they have for the K20D

Nice work shim.
I also wonderd if the ultra II somehow made the camera slower in generating the initial preview on the LCD - I know it shouldn't, but....

Speed wise, I have Sandisk ultra III SD card 2Gb and a Ultra II SDHC 4GB on my K10D, and the Ultra II does feel to be fractioanlly slower at writing, although I couldn't say for definite.
