If you are only finding your feet in photography then you can't go wrong with film and a prime lens.
A Dale mat cost 175 upwards plus men cards charging, computing etc... when I plunge back to film I get rolls for a pound from the poundshop and have them processed straight onto CD for 2.99 are adds or tesco. Then you can play around with them on the computer.
The beauty of film is that it makes you think about every shot....

I use focus points and was confused how to use them on the k5. On the gx20 you select the focus point choose then using the cursor buttons select your focus point... fairly straight forward. Its the only dislike on the k5 for me.
As Timothyw said above is correct explanation but its also a time issue. I can choose how I want my such hectic in focus and shoot with focus selection. With centre spot there is always the chance the subject will move....

Think they would be better of specifying lens adjusting software...

Interesting they prefer a Nikon D3100 over a Nikon D3x, 5D mk2 over a 1Ds mkiv & totally ignore Phase One, Hasselblad or any other expensive medium format sized sensor camera.
Sounds like the ad was created by someone with a little camera knowledge who is not really knowledgable... I think they maybe just want to talk gear. Some agencies used to be like this but now realise that any modern digital SLR is up to the job...
