I went for this one in the end

I have one similar already with the chrome metal locating pins, I believe some have plastic ones now...

Thanks Howie, enjoy the camera.

I recently compared the k-30 to the k-5 and the k-30 is faster at af. The only problem is with long lenses the k-30 is very unbalanced, particularly if you are used to the k10d with a grip attached

You hit info and the information is displayed, hit again and LCD options appear. I don't think there are options to change the time of display on the k-30. This was one of things that I don't think pentax got right. Once you press the info button for the display the camera goes back into default mode of LCD switched on.

Sorry John just saw your post above...

I feel sorry for Starbucks being dragged into this. They don't own any stores, they are all owned by franchises who pay income tax and vat etc... Franchisees buy stock and the licensing rights from Starbucks so when the press shout ey have this huge turnover, it's actually reporting the turnover of all the stores.

As for the rest, well they're doing nothing illegal, may not be morally right but not illegal.

As for Margaret Hodge, I think she should look carefully herself before wagging fingers at these companies..

If you have a lot of images to process then LR is the way to go.

Always looking for tools to speed up the workflow. I am just giving https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/photogene-for.../id363448251?mt=8 ]photogene[/link] a run through on the iPad and looks a great tool for photographers working away from home or the studio. To be able to quickly edit, add metadata and then upload via FTP from one program on e iPad is the program I have been looking for for a long whilst...

There is a huge difference in qualiy between VGA and DVI.

VGA is an analogue signal which degrades, DVI is digital so very little degradation in signal.
