DA 50-200mm F4.0-5.6 ED is discontinued and the DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL also very likely since we have a lot of other version of them.

Are you sure that the Samsung version have the same coatings?
I thought that wasn't 100% certain last time, would like to have conformation on that.

So exciting
Enjoy it.

You've a problem then... only limited lenses for you it seems, excellent choice though.

I'm looking at the zooms now.
The DA50-200 is only 35grams heavier then the DA18-55 the rest are all almost double that weight.

Yes you're right so don't worry

I'm around 20 images average a day
Luckily I don't use film

CRT gives the best quality for the money no doubt but you need to search to find them.
TFT screen is a different matter, some types of screen are very decent Like IPS and the PVA panels. And the higher end panels are equal or even better then CRT but they cost you though.

If you're talking for TV then you have some more choices.
Difference between Plasma and LCD are almost gone, plasma have still the edge I believe for image quality and the bigger screens are cheaper in them. With LCD the smaller models are cheaper and the power consumption is a bit less.
Then you also have some other types of screen, one that comes to mind is laser rear-projection tv. Mitsubishi LaserVue are currently the only ones and they produce excellent image quality, pricey though. here is a review link

Depends on the program you use, with some you can indicate witch EXIF data it should keep.

They can use also other patterns to great effect with the higher pixel count sensors.
RGBW might be an interesting choice to increase sensitivity and dynamic range, at least if they work so good

Mat, I believe the K-M could lower pixel count by coupling them (by software) and lowering the noise.
I don't believe it was really effective though, you can better run a noise reduction at home and then half the pixel amount to get better result.

How sure are you that he used multiple photos, like said most effects can be created by simply tone mapping one image, there is not much HDR about it.

From tests that I've seen the K-X is indeed better at high ISO but the K-7 has the edge in low iso and actually show less artefacts then the K-X there.
Since I hardly shoot over iso400 I know what I will get

Also it seems that the K-X use a harsher noise reduction so you will lose details but since there are hardly any comparison out there it's hard to say.

Yes DA*30
Are you sure about the aperture, would be nice if it would be that

From what I understand it should come end next year together with the converter, would only believe that if I've it in my hands though

If they would come we should know more about it with Photokina 2010, they might even launch it then hopefully.

ps. anyone thinking of going to photokina 2010?
