I think the amateurism of Ken Rockwells website matches his articles. I read another review of the K3 II in a magazine which was generally good. It was marred by a comment that "the number of external buttons makes it more of a enthustiasts camera than a professionals". When was the last time you wanted to dig through menus to change settings. By that logic entry level compacts are professionals cameras and FF DSLRS are for beginners. It reminds me of a comment made by a friend of mine who used to be a mechanic working at a major car manufacturers preparing vehicles for motorshows and road tests. His opinion of motor journalists, including some very well known ones, was that they would be just as happy writing about flower arranging as long as they could get their articles published and they actually knew very little about cars. I suspect there are quite a few people writing about photography who fit that description as well...................

Thanks also Andrew and Stan, very glad you saw them
Too right - have had a close call in the past further along the coast at Ladram Bay (Devon) when our kids were smaller and the tide was coming in!alfpics wrote:
Thanks, I'm not sure that I'd take the kids there without knowing a lot about the tides and terrain. I'm assuming you can walk around from South Beach in Studland and carry on at low tide .... From what I've seen the drops are too sheer to be able to climb down from above .....bwlchmawr wrote:

Thank you, Andy and Nigelk.

On the K-5, I used the digital filter "custom filter" setting, scroll down to "invert color." This found under menu record tab #2.
May be located differently on other bodies.
