Do anyone know how the EU law works?
Maybe buying from the Netherlands for example might be a safer option then from the USA.
You already get a 5% VAT discount since we've 19% vat here, you don't pay import taxes so far as I know since it's from another EU country also warranty shouldn't be a problem for that reason, P&P is less then from the USA and the Pound is still worth more then the Euro but the both have the same numbers for the advice price.

I didn't ask for nothing if someone knows how the EU law works but I believe that what I said above is true although but don't take my word for it so digg into it to make sure!
You might not save as much as from the USA (£150 or less maybe) but it looks a lot safer to shop inside the EU.

Just my point of view though.

it's quick-shift, lenshood, metal mount VS light weight.
The DAII version you can also call light weight, I'm actually quite curious if you feel the weight difference when comparing both lenses.

Can you feel any difference between the DA-L and the DA I?

I wonder how far you can compare a DSLR video function against a consumer camcorder.
I believe they are both different and must be seen that way and not as replacement of each other.

Consumers camcorders are clearly designed to capture moments with your loved ones but when you think about the artistic functions you won't come so far. The lack of lens controll, limits that a lot.
With a DLSR video function you've full controll over your lens so that fill that gap on your holidays. You probable make only max 2 minutes shot but like a documantairy film with creative focus and angles to capture the feeling of a place that you can't capture with a photo.

That's my view on this matter and I would love to use it the way I explained.

Welcome to the forum George.
We would also like to see some scanned film from you, we don't see that nearly enough here on the forum.

That's very strange, why not???

Looked up some old reviews so if that was the advice price???
body only btw.
K10D £700 $899 €800
K20D £730 $999 €1199
k-7 £1269 $1299 €1299 (couldn't find a pound price fast so took away £60 for the 18-55WR kit lens. that was the price differnce with the other kits.)

Yeah what can we say, the pound isn't what it used to be

ps. I find the € price of the K10D a bit cheap need to look that up again.

Very fair point.
With the current announced price it will place his self between the Canon 50D and the Nikon D300 so that also seems fair enough for a new product, probable after two/three months the price when the new status is off from it. It will drop in price and might even become cheaper then the 50D to steal some customers from Canon.

well yes it's a dutch thing, don't ask more

Yes unless the correction are written in a code and leave the original information intact. I really don't see a problem with a line written with the amount of CA correction and what kind of lens distortion correction is needed, it saves time in post processing.

Wow Amin those look stunning, certainly the second one.
Really put a website on your server and try to sell them.
