The pop-up flash on my K-5 died about 18 months after getting it (or at least, that's when I noticed, I rarely use it), luckily it was still under guarantee and I just sent it off for repair, needed a new 'board'.

Any guarantee with your purchase?

Same publisher or not, it appears to be a mixture of misrepresentation and/or plagiarism. If so, it's shoddy journalism.

That's what I thought.

You'd think magazines publishers are having a tough enough time of it, without producing two with rehashed articles between them.

And for those who haven't AP???????????

Well, there are big chunks of the reviews that are the same, word for word. It could be that they've just lifted bits from Pentax supplied literature, but as one of the phrases that are the same is: "This presumably is the same Sony sensor that is used in the Sony NEX-7 and Alpha 77, except the lower resolution accounts for Pentax's in-camera image stabilisation system.", I doubt it. Very odd...

Are AP and WDC from the same stable?

Bear in mind this review (the B&H Photo one) is on a camera shop's website. I doubt they'd be putting up one that said "The AF is a bit disappointing", it's hardly going to help sell the camera.

Anyway, is it just me, or are the first few photos on there suffering from a huge amount of colour fringing?

Sold my Tammy 300mm/2.8 when I got my DA*300. The DA* is sharp from f/4, the Tamron really needed to be stopped down to f/5.6 to get the best from it, and it was too big and heavy, and manual focus. And that purple fringing...

You've made the right choice, even if you don't realise it yet.

Can you turn it completely off?

I'd better ask why you couldn't use your Pentax?

Sorry John, just seen your questions (presumably directed at me). Not sure if you can switch the 700D's touchscreen features off, I would suspect not, but haven't looked into it in any detail.

Rest assured, I could use my K-5; I was running the workshop, and the Canon was a participant's camera.

Surely it's the P-Type system you need, not the A-type.
