Haven't watch the news Gwyn but a neighbour was walking his dog close to there when they fired the shot so we knew a bit from him and my grandpa just spend a hour chatting to the police in front of the house.

I didn't, Micro 4/3th has a register of 20mm and a diameter of around 38mm.

Micro is also for EVIL and my intentions where for APS-C DSLR solely to get faster lenses for it and a slightly smaller camera.

Not as mad as here, someone was shot around the corner where I live

Have you ever used smart collection, it looks quite good maybe I need to start being a little but more through and keyword my photos

Thank you Matt, it indeed looks like a very strange camera

Yes, the 4/3th mount is roughly physical the same as the k-mount but has a register distance off 38.67mm instead off 54,46mm of the k-mount so it gives you an idea what a few millimetres can do.

I think many don't Like the 4/3th because the sensor is smaller but I could be wrong though.
At least it would be interesting to see what such a camera would do if they would bring it out with two f/2 zooms and a f/0.8 or f/0.9 normal prime lens and the capability to use adapters.

I already said it on page 2 but if they could make the mount so that they could make adapters to fit most of the current camera brands it could get very interesting.
Canon or Nikon would off course never officially support the adapter but if they could back engineer it like Sigma does.

I bought my first DSLR and with that my first camera at the age off 19 and I bought the K10D.
I was first planning to buy the K100D super at that time but I know I wanted to have the manual controls the K10D offered and went for that.

The first months certainly were taunting and I had a lot off bad photos then but you really learn how to use the camera and modes like P, Av, Tv really help you along the way and it's pretty clear what the camera is doing because you've almost direct feedback since you can see your photos on the LCD screen.
So for photographic matters all cameras are just as taunting and the interface and all the technical options are something that comes very quickly with most of the younger generation.

Just give them the Magic Lantern Guide with the camera. You can see that guide as an extensive Manual with a good or at least better explanation off all the options and how to use the camera.
I bought one with my K10D and it has being a life saver a couple of times and of course he must become a member of this forum, that's also super helpful.

I have roughly the same system as i-Berg but I only use RAW.

When I have done some PP, I either print it or convert them to JPG for the web but those converted JPG'S get thrown a way when uploaded so I only have the RAW files in the end.

The cataloguing is done on date since I doesn't do anything professional but I can imaging I would simply name a folder to something easily recognisable when uploading to Lightroom.

Lightroom has this system in it to catalogue so why not use it?

Here is an article about cataloguing with Lightroom, I think the ones using the program recognise themselves. link

Ah yes but that would be easier to do with a shorter register distance.
The DA*50-135 could most likely be redesigned as a f/2 lens and the DA*60-250 maybe even a f/2.8 if there is some stress in it. The lens might become more expensive because larger glass is needed but at least it's possible to make such lenses.

Ah yes but if you can compensate it far faster lenses it doesn't really matter
The electronic shutter is already in some DSLR camera's I believe, one of the Nikons had it.
EVIL cameras surely can get very fast lenses and that's one of the reasons they adapt the mount as well I believe. I believe the reasonable limit for f-number was f/0.7 and They can reach that with the current EVIL cameras.
Sadly I'm not a huge fan of the digital viewfinder, they still have a long way to go before they are suitable to fully replace the optical viewfinder.

No not really but but well they did sell them.

I wouldn't mind any of those as long as they keep on going the way with the K-X and the K-7, certainly the K-X was a successful camera for Pentax.

And let's be honest, EVIL is probably the kind that will replace DSLR over time, not now and not over 10 years but it will happen most likely so I only hope that they wait with their EVIL camera till they are a bit more mature and can really compete with the DSLR market.

Pentax has a more complicated full name for SDM, it's Supersonic Direct-drive Motor
here is the glossary http://www.pentax.co.uk/en/Photo_Lenses_Glossary.html

Pentax is using the K-mount for their lens mount so every lens with such a mount can be used.

The AF system is a seperate system on the camera, it's located on the underside of the camera so no where near the viewfinder, it even use his own mirror.
The Focus screen does have an effect on exposure metering though.

John already said the rest.
