See SRS have put their prices up today

£999 for body only from £975 (was just under £900 when you took the cashback into consideration)

There is not a chance I'm going to pay more than the cashback price.
The K20D's never fell back to the Cashback price once it ended. If anything they went up

I like Pop Photo and if you look on their website most Pentax lenses get decent reviews. The latest if the 35mm f/2.4 which comes out very good as did the two kit lenses. In fact all the Pentax lenses I've seen have had good scores.

They pay very well for photos used in the magazine. There was a girl on the Talk Photography forum who got £500 for some photos they discovered browsing Flickr and the approached her with an offer.

I've heard that the K-5 gets a good review in the March Issue. I don't know why both AP and Pop Photo were so late with K-5 reviews The camera has been out months.

The correct body for this lens (has cheapo 1.8 on it )

Pentacon Super Six with Pancolar 1.8/50 BIN £987

Camcorders have had touch screen focus, zoom etc. for years.

Very poor taste by the BBC to put together such a misleading article no doubt they will receive hundreds of complaints from the pros for trivializing their creative skills in the way that they have done.

How about a reduction of £20 in the licence fee now that we've seen what it's being wasted on and how easy it is to make TV clips.

My favourite from the pre-Super A bodies. The AF indicator works better than the one in my K20D The metering on mine is kaputt

What lens have you used Gary... that's the worst PF I've seen on a camera shot even on ebay The K-5 has problems with PF but the K-7 is very good.... must be the lens

It's unlikely that Wilkinsons's will allow you to transfer the Warranty.

Very poor review. Complains about purple fringing on the Pentax and then shows a load of Nikon pics with purple all over them, poorly focused and not ideal for showing noise.

I've heard that Popular Photography in the US have a K-5 review this month and it's quite glowing.
