The K7 is big enough without a grip, smaller is better in my book, to the point I have even considered an EVIL camera. I have had to modify my flight-bag to carry the K7 and there's no way I would want even more weight/bulk. Plus it feels fine as it is, even with bigger lenses. Though I think I will get an (ungripped) K5.

Interesting point about the shake reduction at longer focal lengths Don; I find the Sigma 18-250 works far better on the K7 using the OIS than with the cameras SR at its longer end. Plus you get the bonus of seeing a stabilised image in the viewfinder which makes it easier to see what you are doing and what sort of picture you are likely to get. And that's only at 250mm!

Great shots, much prefer the colour versions. The B+W ones didn't look as sharp, which I put down to the lens, but evidently i was wrong.

I joined a few weeks after you then, Andrew, and I have to say it's been a pleasure seeing your input to the forum, even though I have been critical and no doubt an annoyannce sometimes!

Best wishes for the festive season, and I look forward to seeing what the New Year brings forth from your K10! Have to say though, that Kenlock lens looks like it needs upgrading to go with your new camera!

I like the version with two benches, but think just removing the left hand bench from the original and leaving the rest of the picture as is would work better. Maybe even a slight crop off the bottom?

The picture of the cat is great, and I agree with Stu, it would make a great Christmas card!

Here we're having lovely weather here, 25 degrees in the day and 15 at night. Here's a few I have taken locally (ish) in the last few weeks as a contrast to the UK snow...C+C welcome.

Nice shot!

Gary, maybe you should run a poll so everyone could vote? Nominations could be sent to you perhaps to provide a shortlist? Perhaps SRS could be persuaded to award a prize?

I think Andrew would probably walk it.
