The ZigView S2 looks great, a bit pricy and battery life has been critised but if macro was my game, it would be on my shopping list.

I prefer the original
The first one shows a lot of detail in the glove that has been lost by the final image. For me, it would have been nice to have retained some of that detail.I prefer the original

someone above suggested that Pentax would need to go FF to get 3rd place behind Canikon.
Last time I checked, Olympus currently hold that spot (on sales figures anyway) and they don't EVEN have an APS-C size sensor.
Well said! I think they need better marketing and more store front shelf space, not a full frame product.someone above suggested that Pentax would need to go FF to get 3rd place behind Canikon.

Why must it be one OR, the other? Canon have been making FF and APS side by side for years. Nikon are doing so now. As sensors get cheaper, manufacturers could offer us both. My desire for a FF Pentax has nothing to do with my thinking it will make me a better photographer, and everything to do with the fact that there are millions of high quality K and S mount lenses in the world (I own many) that will still be in existance, long after the last camera they were made for has worn out, or is beyond repair. They are just waiting for a FF camera to go on. I think the only company that wont offer FF, is Olympus, as they seem to have painted themselves into a corner with Four Thirds.
Lets remind ourselves that Pentax's aim is to become no 3! I.e. they are not intending taking on Canon and Nikon. Lets face it, there are many more ameteur photographers then pros!Why must it be one OR, the other? Canon have been making FF and APS side by side for years. Nikon are doing so now.

Roseanne,
I hope it all works out. Your pictures are great, one of my favourits is Eilean Donan - it is very 'Arthurian' (King Arthur) and found myself looking for the white horse!
Keep up the good work.

Complete flash failure again...
Sorry to hear that. Perhaps they could replace the camera. Have you tried asking for a loan during the fix period?Complete flash failure again...

Well today, I have had to hand my K10D to my Pentax dealer after 8 months, the camera is dead as soon as the pop-up flash is enabled, the screen is OK, the viewfinder display, auto-focus everything seems normal, but try and take a picture - NOTHING.
Put the pop-up flash back down and out of use, no problem - pictures as usual.
There is a default setting on the camera that prevents the camera from taking a picture if the flash has not charged. It sounds as if the flash was not charging. I bet if you had changed the setting in the custom menu it would have worked - just the flash not charging. I guess an external flash would have worked fine.Well today, I have had to hand my K10D to my Pentax dealer after 8 months, the camera is dead as soon as the pop-up flash is enabled, the screen is OK, the viewfinder display, auto-focus everything seems normal, but try and take a picture - NOTHING.

I agree, perhaps a tighter crop making it a bit more abstract.Tickets is the main one I'm not sure about - I Loved the colours, but I don't know that there's anything to... I dunno, Anything to look at? Too much to look at?

I like the first one best, however, I think the blown out statue grabs a little too much attention for me.

I have an MZ-5N (autofocus). Which digital lens series (if any) could I use with this or would I be better off sticking to dedicated film lenses?
I have an MZ-5n and have tried my Sigma 18 to 200 D lens but not actually taken anything. All the lens functions work, it is just the vignetting that was an issue.I have an MZ-5N (autofocus).

This seems to be the story everywhere! I am hoping that the new bodies and glassware arrive in good time and more magazenes/shops start paying Pentax their due attention.i guess. Canon and Nikon as the main advertisers
