hmmm I think we are all masters here on doing just enough photoshoping and never really go over the top with it.

If you want a camera really that smart, it needs to read your mind and I don't think we will see such camera soon.
The good thing about Pentax is that they give you a lot off controll and don't do much with the image so that you can better results with post-processing.
So start shooting in RAW and work out an efficent way of processing your photos. I've recorded a lot of standard things I do in photoshop so with a press on a button and some fine tweaking I'm already almost done in seconds

Pentax tends to underexpose because it wants to retain the highlights. Losts highlights is worse then lost detials in the shadows. You can set the camera EV emtereing to overexpose the image with one stop and your imagese would look a bit better expose then.

Thank you very much Father Ted, I only need to believe it myself now

I've made some ecperimentel shots yesterday, Still need to look how they are but they would have been nice for the abstract compition from the previous week. I'm too late now though

More Photos are up now, how on earth will I compete against those. Ah well I will try my best

I believe whe don't truly have something like PAl and NTSC anymore Shim. The most modern HD content even go up to 50 and 60 frames per second and any TV that can do HD can handell NTSC or PAl.
Why lose those 5 frames only for the sake of handeling a standard?

For that price you have a K20D which make better photos probable

Martin, I did one weekly some time ago and it was fun.
The best shot of a tuesday will get uploaded for the compition, I promiss.

I forgot about the Samsung phones, good call.

Wonderfull

Yes that's right, we will see how it preforms.
I'm expecting nothing though but I will be glad if it does preform of course

BTW it seems that the Pentax 18-250 isn't in production anymore, hardly any shops has it new. Should I wait a bit till no shops have it anymore and then sell it?

The new Intuos4 is out

I wish I had some money

Thats too harsh and it's about the camera not the phone, so if it has Pentax glass it's good enough for me

I've a trip planned on a tuesday and that's the only time I will make some photos, hopefully something good will come out of it

Oh and for program line
I never have it in full auto but it's on MTF I believe and the program line of the green button in TAv & M is on Tv shift.

It's sometimes quite annoying since words look like each other and are spoken the same but you write differently. Can give you some more lessons if you want

That's the problem, I will get less money for it in England then here.
To keep it reasonable for everyone a trade is the best option.
I rather have someone on the forum have fun with it then some complete stranger.

I can name you a price if you want, the new value here is €440 so £405.
Lets say £300 plus the B+W MRC UV filter which isn't cheap either, this is without postage to UK.

If it's going out the door for cash then the DA* 50-135mm will replace it, I mostly use the 18-250 in that range or at the far ends.
I will miss it on 250mm but thanks to Kriss, there is a Tamron 2x TC on the post for the 100mm macro
