kids are good at that kind of thing

Anyway, now you can enjoy the last few minutes of 2010 with some free fireworks (though I'd like to know how you can get fireworks OoF, as I've managed it...)

Merry new year - the UK has another hour and a half - I'm going to crack open a bottle and process some fireworks shots (and they look *gooood* on the wee LCD...) which of course means nothing

Best bit was the fact that the town fireworks finale pair were so high *no-one* could see them as the clouds are so low

Bret

I don't know about that.

What I do know - and what has suprised me enormously - is that the £1000 mark, which is where the K5 will be at SRS when the VAT rise hits - is essentially the same across all the countries I can find.

I'm seriously on the hunt for one (and can't get Cashback for various reasons), so I've been looking. Malaysia, Singapore, all the big US retailers. €1200 in Germany and here... this is seriously impressive and certainly not the way things were four years ago when I bought the K10d.

The K7 was also relatively resistant to price drops in the first few months; I remember the opportunity I had to get one last year when a colleague went to the US. It was not 'cheap' then....I see no reason why the K5 will drop, especially if it beats a d7000 in tests, which it has done.

^^ hear hear on that and have a safe one y'all!

Already seen the idiot kids messing with bangers near a roundabout.... but there are far fewer fireworks than last year. It was a constant stream up to the school near us (big space, lots of convenient snowbanks to stick rockets in) last year and this year it's extremely quiet. Having said that, visibility is also awful right now for the big display. Might even have to leave the flat for once

Bret

fireworks.

I have 055 legs and they're the "cheap" ones with "wingnuts" to clamp. So much better than squidge-locks when you've got snow around..... snow in a squidge and that's it, you're done for.

Bret

there isn't much (if any) difference, save maybe for the grip for the K10D not fitting the samsung.

Oh, and welcome

Bret

and sold.....

Bret

I have to go dig my car out. They finally decided to plough our street, so it's up to the bottom of the door in snow. It was difficult enough to get into the space, so now I'm debating leaving it (so if something does drop on it tonight, it'll hit snow and not paint) or moving it. Having said that, there aren't many options for parking either

Bret

that last one is glorious.
