Thanks for your advice, folks. I guess if money was no problem, I'd go for the X70, as it at least looks like what I am used to. However, as it costs as much as another K10, I think it will have to be the Optio 'W'.

I would like to have a second, more portable camera for use when the dslr is inconvenient to carry, or at risk from the environment, such as whilst sailing.
Any recommendations from the current Pentax point & shoot range?

Even as a relative newcomer, (and a recent offender - sorry, John) I am in awe of our moderator/peacemakers commitment. Thank you all.

Superb detail - I love the almost transparent amber of the eye.
Which lens did you use?

I think I read somewhere that even Einstein acknowledged that many of his insights came from intuition (right-side hemisphere), he then had the difficult task of rationalising the idea in order to place it within an empirical framework.
Brilliant post.

I think some caution may be required here - I too had less than satisfactory response to the cameras origins - this is part of the sellers reply:

"the camera was bought from ebay on the 12th of this month. i will get pictures with todays date if you want. the grip has been ordered and paid for and hasnt arrived yet so that will be brand new. i will charge normal royal mail special delivery insured charge which i think is ?20"

Hi Kenty
Our village in South Devon is fortunate in having no street lights; we can see Saturn and even one of our nearest galaxies, Andromeda, from the front garden with binoculars. Anywhere without much artificial light is conducive, the visibility is improved in the winter due to the reduction of convection driven air currents, and the South sky is usually more interesting.
