You're quite Right Ken, quite silly that they didn't ask Sam Haskins or David Bailey.
Sam Haskins wrote a nice little article on his Blog when the K10D was introduced. link
Maybe they will let him play with the 645D... "maybe" let's say hopefully since Pentax needs some attention and good marketing, maybe let him do a calender like in the old days.
That you didn't submit a story?
This make me thought that you questioned the realness of it and so assumed you didn't submit a story.
I have been looking at this competition for about 5 weeks now, and the same 4 pages of stories have remained unchanged, which seems a little strange.
ps. Ken, David Bailey photos are stunning, he surly knows how to capture a moment.

Well have a go then, who knows you might win right.
If it's fake then what do you lose?

What do you mean Alun?
They said only the best will be showed...
If you questioned how real it is, the copyright is under Pentax.co.uk.

Well you're in Africa and I believe the operation temperature is around the 60 Celsius, maybe if you leave it in the sun the whole day you might blow it up?

I believe they are busy with wireless USB now.
It is capable of sending 480 Mbit/s at distances up to 3 meters and 110 Mbit/s at up to 10 meters, that's the standard and there are already some devices out it seems.

The WUSB architecture allows up to 127 devices to connect directly to a host. Because there are no wires or ports, there is no longer a need for hubs.
However, to facilitate the migration from wired to wireless, WUSB introduced a new Device Wire Adapter (DWA) class. Sometimes referred to as a "WUSB hub", a DWA allows existing USB 2.0 devices to be used wirelessly with a WUSB host.
WUSB host capability can be added to existing PCs through the use of a Host Wire Adapter (HWA). The HWA is a USB 2.0 device that attaches externally to a desktop or laptop's USB port or internally to a laptop's MiniCard interface.
WUSB also supports dual-role devices (DRDs), which in addition to being a WUSB device, can function as a host with limited capabilities. For example, a digital camera could act as a device when connected to a computer and as a host when transferring pictures directly to a printer.

Same here.I always shoot raw and generally leave it on AWB, WB is something I just don't think about until I get to my computer.
Most of the time I can find something white to pick the right white balance from, like the white of someone eyes, dinner plate, napkin and such and apply that to the rest of the photos shot in the same condition.
Outside the AWB works very well but indoors under tungsten or fluorescent light it always get it wrong, I believe the K7 has been improved in that part can anyone confirm that?

50mm would make a nice portrait lens and f/1.7 aren't expensive at all second hand, neither are the 28mm lenses.
For all-round lens I myself would go for 50mm but others might go for 28mm or 35mm.
In all honesty I can not say which lens you should take and use and neither can anyone else here so it's all up to you.
