Oh no I'm being stupid again the D3000 doesn't use the same sensor, sorry

It's a Sony sensor though so there is a camera out there with the same sensor, Nikon use Sony a lot and of course Sony does.

Nikon D5000 is probably the one.
Or probably not link

Will get back on this

Okay I'm back.
The K-X has a Sony EXMOR sensor, the same one as in the sony-a500
This one should give a better picture link

Lovely seems they made a good step forward with the K-x

Is it Possible to Charge eneloop with Other Manufacturers’ Chargers?
No, we do not recommend it. Neither the construction nor the characteristics of both battery and charger are the same. Accordingly, we do not recommend that other manufacturers’ batteries be charged with Sanyo chargers.

Glad to see you resolve the problem that simply
I thought about that but since you said that Auto and AV mode were the only modes and not Manual, I declined that one. Really glad you didn't try my suggestion and losing all the settings in the mean time

Yea my first Fortnightly at last

It's probably an option that you've selected that restrict you to those modes.
I don't know which options but resting to factory default would most likely be the most direct cure for the problem if not someone else can direct you precisely to the problem option.

Have an question about the Pogo.
How many prints can you make on the battery and is there a way to expand it, like for example an extra battery or some other external device to give it power?

Okay I've found that you've extra batteries... only thing is that the battery is only €10 cheaper then the whole device... I might end up just getting two of them

Can someone tell me with the power input is of the device so that I can look for external power options?

Okay I've thought it over and the Polaroid Pogo will be the one, so thank you guys for suggesting that one to me.

The reasons to chose it over the Canon Selphy are:
Cheaper (Canon selphy + Battery comes around the €210, and Pogo is €40)
Printing cost are the same
More rugged prints
Smaller size

The thing to go for Canon Selphy was that they have larger prints, so If the Pogo was only a bit larger that it would be even more interesting but it will have to do.
We will be giving the prints away for free so they aren't allowed to be to picky but the prints are tougher from the Pogo so they will last longer, also the Pogo is easier to carry around which is a big plus.

To be honest the K7 preforms so good as the same as the KX.
I've used the Nikon D3000 since that use the same sensor as the KX so they should not be very different in results.

The thing is that if you compare the screen results then yes the KX is better but the K7 has more pixels so it isn't fair to compare it that way.
A 4 pixel camera should have a superb score that way
You need to look at the print comparison, that way the size of the photo is the same and then so good as all cameras preform equally.

If you don't think so then here is a video for you link

I must say though that the KX is surely a lovely camera, played with the one of my uncle quite a lot now and yes I would recommend it.
A friend of the family who use a Nikon D80 was also pleasantly impress by it and he loves the green button on the camera and the weight & seize of it.
Although for advance users the K7 is still the camera to go since you've easier access to the controls when you're shooting manually.
You feel that the KX is not intended for that shooting mode and therefore the K7 for them.

Pink you're looking for a portrait lens or not?

I think for the head shoulder shots the 50-*** lenses would be good. I've used my only frequently but before that I used the DFA100 + DA40 a lot in the studio.
For outdoors the 50-*** would also be nice for indoors/studio you might find the 24/28-70/75 lens more versatile.
The wide angle is more then wide enough for full body shots and the tele end is also very good for the head and shoulder shots.

It comes down quite a lot with personal choice, some like to come close but I like to keep some distance.

ps. I believe Nathan use the DA*50-135 quite a lot for his shoots why don't you ask him, he has more knowledge/experience with this then me at least
