I'm interested in the FJA - PM sent.

Not me, I just paid the water bill

It's on my wish list though not till the Q to K adaptor is avaliable!

The AF200t looks good, and I have found one for under £30.

My search also turned up the Metz 24AF1, but is seems to be only pTTL with no manual controls. Also the Metz 20 c2 auto/manual flash. Does anyone have any experiance with these two flashes on a K10/20/7 or 5?

The first camera I got for my son (aged 4 at the time) was the Optio E35. I used lithium batteries and it went great guns - one set lasted about 6 months! Now the zoom buttons don't work. Next birthday (8th!) he will be getting an black Optio I-10, cost me £78 brand new. I will see hew he does with it, as he really looked after the old E35 - I made sure he had a good case with it and knew to put it back in there and that he was responsible for looking after it! He also likes using my K7 and the K10 before that! He even took a winning picture with the K10 when he was 3 1/2 - made into a post card!

My youngest (5 next birthday) will be getting his first camera, an Optio E90 so I can use lithium AAs again! That was only £58!

I did think about the W series but discounted in favour of the cheaper E and I series.

I have a 500mm mirror lens - that would make an eye watering 2,750mm f8 lens!

Suddenly the Q looks even more fun!

I think it is the same target market that the Pentax 110 went after. The idea of a camera as a fashion excessory started a long time ago!

I used to take my 110 out, not with a bunch of lenses though, just the zoom! IQ was not anything to compare to my Program A. Was it fun, yes! And that was the point for me.

These days, I carefully choose the lenses for the occation so I am not carrying too much - 1 lens and a flash or two lenses. If I had this little camear I could choose the camera for the occation too! And possibly do some of that street photograph I have always wanted to do but never had the bottle with a large SLR!

There is only one thing I think is missing - weather seals!

I currently have two powerful Metz flash guns but would like to add a 3rd flash to my collection, the flash needs to be small and I have no requirement for a tilt/pan head. Auto zoom would be a bonus and the guide number must be better than the 11 of the built in flash on my K7.

It will also need to have a manual seting so that I can select lower power for manual off camera flash using wireless triggers.

I have a Tamron 75 to 300 that I used to use for macro, 'til I aquired a propper macro! It gave very good results and 1:2 macro at 180 to 300mm and the operating distance was just good enough to use the on board flash for fill lighting.

So, yes the 300 is an alternative.

The only adaptor I would want would be to attach to System 110 lenses! And that is only because I have them all except the 18mm Pan focus!

What would people pay for this camera? Personally I would peek at £300!

Is there a pattern to the images that cannot be displayed? i.e. where they all the ones taken in portrait? If this is the case, then the image may have been rotated on the card (presumably when you coppied them across), the camera then sees this as an edited image and can't display.
