Yes, very good, it strikes me that the extra ISO and higher shutter speed are probably the most effective result, but having said that we are viewing these at very small sizes on the forum. The colours are very similar in both, which is an important factor if a high ISO is to remain usable.

All high quality, but number 1 for me also. A lovely little set.

Strong stuff again Alistair, number four in particular catches the eye, not for the obvious reason but for its creativity.

My take on this is the same as Mike P's. Pentax have never advertised their cameras as waterproof, so if any part of it got submerged, which it appears it did, this is completely different to taking it out in the rain. Good luck with your Pentax case, please let us know how you get on.

Great set George, I already commented on facebook and they look better on there than they do here, due to the better quality and larger size.

The K-1 seems to suit you!

Agree with the comments above, the composition and light are superb.

A really creative and interesting set of images, high quality and inspiring.

5, 6 and 12 really stand out for me. I also like all of the others except number 3, which I don't quite 'get', but it would be boring if we all liked the same things!

Very interesting video. I don't think I would get on very well with a Sony A7 judging by what is on there. One of the things I love on the Pentax DSLR's is the way they allow you to change most settings via a simple press of a physical button. The K-1 continues this trend.

I think a similar thing applies to ergonomics in modern cars. I once read a review of the post-facelift Vauxhall Insignia where the reviewer referred to the numerous buttons the pre-facelift car has for operation of the satnav, media etc. as 'an ergonomic nightmare', whereas the post-facelift model uses a menu and touch-screen driven approach with far fewer direct buttons, which the reviewer was praising. I totally disagree with this reviewer. I own a pre-facelift Insignia, but also often drive the post-facelift version and it is easier to use the one with more buttons. Not only that, but it is less distracting whilst driving. Once you've learned where the buttons are you can accomplish anything via a single press, rather than having to dive into menus or touch the screen in a certain place. Some modern designers don't seem to understand ergonomics. Thank goodness Pentax do.
