I know this is a bit of an open ended question - but what do people think the *Best* Pentax Digital camera is?

I'm talking pro/D-slr rather than compact (although a realy small but powerful compact can be a great camera)

In terms of features, functionality, picture quality etc - what does everyone think?

Yeah the big on-flash soft boxes do seem like a daft looking but effective bit of kit.


Right - so who wants to sell me a 360 then?

Hi folks

am looking to get a flash for my IST D - basically i want to be able to use the full wireless control with TTL (rather than just as a conventional slave)

I know the above two Flashes support it, are there any others that do and what are the pros and cons of each?

I'm on a budget so will be looking at getting the cheapest one possible without comprising on they wireless


cheers

Hi folks - does anyone know if the sigma 500 for nikon cameras can be used with an IST, or are the flashguns different depending on which camera they are designed to work with?

cheers

well i've used the camera a few times before (as it was dad's) and found that after a quick manual trawl i was getting some reasonable results. I was tempted by the DS/DL when i wanted to get a D-SLR for myself - but then i looked on ebay for Ist D's for sale - and couldn't see any


I kept looking for a month and only saw one for sale, and it made more than the cost of a DS, even though it was two years old.

This pretty much convinced me that in this case the older camera might be the better bet.
