I'm getting dizzy with all the new bodies and lenses being announced at the moment, the K10D the samsung clone, the 645 digital (with upgradeable sensor - see I was right it is possible!) and this whole raft of lenses.
The excitement is so intense I need to go and sleep in a field in the Lake District for a week to calm down!

Eee when I were a lad I had to build my first pentax out of a handful of gravel and sticky-back plastic...

I find the 16-45 an excellent lens which coverms many situations, and I often travel with just it an a 70-300mm Sigma. If i wasn't saving for the K10D I'd consider the 10-17.

Hello Barry,
What you may also like to look at are wider lenses such as the sigma
10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM or Pentax smc DA 12-24mm for lanscapes and interiors, as with the cropping effect of the aps-c sensor you lose field of view when using lenses designed for 35mm film.

Hello Mel,
There is also a problem with your links!
I had what sounds like a similar problem with my Optio WPi, which I took to Pentax UK and they diagnosed (and repaired under warranty) as a problem with the autofocus mechanism.
It had a lot of horizontal banding, it looked very overexposed and poorly focused. Occasionally I could get a couple of good shots then it would go back to being "bad".
Sounds like a repair under warranty.

Don, All the best. Edukayshun is wasted on the young! (I took a BSc studying at home with the Open University (http://www.open.ac.uk/new/ ) and would recommend it to anybody!
