In this months PC Pro there is a DSLR shoot out with numerous bodies from Nikon Canon Fuji Panasonic Sony etc & the K-R won, in the back section there is a list of the best kit & the K-R will now be there for quiete a whilst as they don't review cameras that often...

Currently 3 issues for a pound

Google Chrome user here, have been since launch. Love google docs & Igoogle & google +

Also using android with my new Hannspad running honeycomb 3.0 All my information on one screen,widgets for email, gmail, facebook, twitter, news feeds, don't have to open a single window. I do like Opera on the tablet though and also Dolphin HD.

Since getting my tablet I am using that more than my laptops, netbook or workstation... It's definitely a good way of computing.

Stopped using IE after version 7 I think, installed IE 9 & still don't like it, Microsoft seem to be on a bad run recently, my windows 7 Dell has needed over a gigabyte of updates since March, my new Windows 7 Starter netbook which I got this week needed over 80 updates & I lost count of how many reboots after 4 reboots, not good...

Don't let the noise performance on the new k-5 worry you, the noise reduction software in Lightroom puts my gx20 on par with the k-5...

Well that's put a spanner in my upgrade plans, I totally agree with every thing they say about the Tamron... I was hoping to upgrade to the Pentax thinking mainly about the weather sealing but also thinking optically it would be better than the Tamron, which I do like. But the flaring findings of the Pentax has now put me off more than anything.

Ah that is fortunate you have another backup, with all my laptops, tablets & phones etc this is so easily done. I only use 2.5" portable hard drives now, the power pack issue is getting ridiculous in our house now...

Found some cheap film pound a roll in my local supermarket so thought I would give it a whirl in the garden...

A little noisey for ISO 200 film, had the film developed at ASDA & then they put it on cd for me... no post processing yet..

Shoot the majority of my concert photography with the DA* 50-135mm & the Tamron 17-50mm, very rarely use my 50 1.4
