Hi and Welcome!
Keep the K10D Samsung don't seem to carry spares to repair
the GX-20 so I presume they won't be able to repair GX-10's
in which case it's not worth an awful lot

Mice will find their way back from miles away..... even across water They can get back in the house through very tiny gaps, sadly the only solution is to kill them Peanut butter is also good bait, but the best solution is probably the small plastic box trap with poison already in it. The mouse dies in the box within seconds. Steve Chasey wrote:

Been trying to catch a mouse lurking somewhere under our corner sink unit - final got it with choc spread at the end of the trap yesterday. Released the captive into the undergrowth whilst cat far away. Reset the trap, just in case it had a friend. Check this morning - another resident!
Released at before.
Check for possible entry points - probably the cat bring us presents in as no route in. Trap reset again.

Are you sure it wasn't the same one? I'm afraid I use traps that kill the wee critters - I had a humane trap once and released the mouse - only to see the little so and so running back towards my house before I could get back myself. Now I use "Super Cat" traps - they have a very effective bait built in and kill the mouse instantly. They are reusable which is unusual for mouse traps and getting rid of the body is clean and easy.Don't know about the effect on cyrils but chocolate spread is a good mouse bait.

I don't mind mice in the garden but not in the house they can do so much damage chewing through soft furnishings etc.

That was the message I got as well on a K20D with a Transcend Class 10 8GB.... Lost about 4 important shots through it. Later I made a directory on the card called "RAWS" moved the Raw files into it and it lost the lot.... important stuff as well.... still have the Jpgs. Not using the card anymore.The bad news; The two cheap Transcend 8GB cards Sometimes it says "The image has not been recorded".

Won't work for me either. If it's advertising why not show it to 100% of the population rather than restrict it to 50%
The people that run these sites can't see that Google and Youtube are successful because the keep it simple and work for everybody......
We'll be clever and if they don't see it it's their fault.... get another browser

I missed off my only 6x7 camera the Koni-Omega Rapid, so I'm removing the OM2 and putting it in in it's place. Probably the most underrated camera of all time. 6x7 Rangefinder, bit quarky and needs tweaking to get the best out of it. Lenses that are as sharp as any 35mm lens.
Some nice scanned shots here.... One guy even asks if it's 5x4 they are so sharp
Last time I used mine the light seals had gone so I put a bit of Blu-Tak on as a temporary solution
Edit: Quote off this site:
I had one. Made some money with it shooting weddings. The 90mm lens is/was the best lens I've ever owned. That includes a lot of brands including Leica, Nikon, Canon, Mamiya TLR, Pentax 6x7, etc. I would welcome one back in a heartbeat.

Strange you haven't got a Minolta Autocord in there Hefty? or a Bronica S2A?
I always found the f/2.8 Rollei's (or any Rollei) too awkward to focus because the adjustment (rack and pinion, like a bellows) is straight in and out, nearest foot at best. The Minolta was just like a normal lens helecoid and allowed a much more precise focus setting. The film if I remember correctly came straight off the spool and wasn't bent through 90deg like it is on a Rollei prior to taking. The Rolliecords had a very poor Tessar lens on them.
My top 10 not in any order.
K20D (not used a K-5)
K2
MX
MEF
SFXn
Z1P
Super A
Minolta Autocord
Bronica S2A very sharp Nikkor lenses
Olympus OM2

I assume it doesn't have a viewfinder in which case it would be totally useless Alpha nex 5 getting some reviews !! and now sorted after firmware update.
Available with 24mm and 27 - 82mm image stabilized lenses for £450 ???
EDIT: Just looked clip on finder for wide angle Flash is also a clip on but you can't use both at once
Battery only does a few hundred shots so you have to carry a spare and if you bought it because it's an
interchangeable lens camera carry extra lenses.... seems pointless

I've seen some good shots with the Sony 70-400mm also the
400mm Mirror lens. I always liked Minolta stuff but don't
fancy any of the Sony cameras.
