I don't have the lenses to go full frame yet so I'm thinking that the k-3 ii is probably the best option.
If anyone has one they are thinking of selling then please get in touch.
Thanks.

called today when i noticed it had been placed on back-order and got a call back a few minutes later saying it was a misprice on the website - the actual price £529.99
her - "do you want to proceed with the order?"
me - "erm... no thanks!"
bit gutted, but it did sound a bit too good to be true!

I know the grip won't fit the GX-10, but will this battery work in the Samsung? I'm still having the K200D vs GX-10 debate in my head and can't make my mind up. Being able to get a cheap spare L-ion battery might help me make up my mind one way or the other!
i'll post some pics later if you like.

This is just that weird fad for imitating models by artificially reducing depth of field,...already well overdone to no obvious purpose.
are these not valid reasons for doing something?

just about to pay off the finance on my gx-10 - do you think i could take it back and get a gx-20 instead?

How are you getting on with it, are you ahving fun? I bought a K3 ii the other day and I'm delighted except I dont think the AF is as good at tracking birds as my k5 iis was. Regards David
focusing was my main gripe with my previous body and my primary reason for upgrading, and i'm getting much better hit rates with the k3.
also, it just feels like a more premium bit of kit, buttons feel a lot crisper and more positive, screen info is nicely set out, and despite the minor changes in controls it still feels familiar.
this was my last effort of sticking with pentax before selling up and moving to a different brand, but i think it has me convinced to stay a while longer.
