In any case if you use a digital camera you really need to acquire some basic computer skills if you wish to get the best results from your camera. You need to install software for RAW conversion and photo editing and export the resulting images to storage, printer, email or other destination. Forums such as this are a useful source of help for novices.

Maybe all camera boxes should carry a warning :-
YOU WILL NEED COMPUTER SKILLS TO USE THIS PRODUCT.
Take care.

I have a K10D, now a bit dated, but still a good camera, which ever Pentax, you choose, I am sure you will be very pleased.
Not biased of course.
Take care.

In this instance the very talented graffiti artist have turned what would have been an ugly industrial derelict building, with exceptions, into an art form, I take my hat off to them.
Why do people with such a talent, find it necessary to spray paint over every surface they come across, as it just antagonises the public, against, what is a great skill.
Look forward to seeing more images of this building.
Take care.

The instructions for updating firmware are so simple that if someone couldn't manage that, I doubt they'd ever work out how to get lenses on and off the camera.
If ever you have problems with a camera, one of the first things you will be asked is if you are running the latest firmware.
Manufacturers don't change firmware for the fun of it, after all. If you decide to stay with V.1 and then V.6 improves low light focussing and you want it, you'll get all the intermediate ones along with it anyway so you might just as well keep up to date.
It would be like me saying, that anyone that does not understand industrial electrical power distribution, and the control of same, would have difficulty plugging a kettle into their domestic supply.
Not a very rational assumption.
Take care.

Title fixed, like the images. Do you prefer colour to black and white for street photography?
But having said that, I think that "Wills" set here works well with colour.
Maybe number 3, would work in B&W.

If you are looking for batteries, “Premier Ink & Photographic” is a good place to look.
Excellent customer service.
Don’t know which batteries you need, but the (GP Recyko) rechargeable are very good, I use them in a number of products including my Pentax flash.
Take care.
