Yes they can definitely be recovered, Recuva is one of a host of free programs you can use

Well, by the time the third post in this thread had gone up, I had ordered a *60-250, K3 body and 12-24 , for the grand total of...... £2.76

(thought it was just rude to use the discount voucher on the K3 & 12-24)

Finally got the email just now apologising for an IT error and offering me my own %20 discount code. No different from the codes stated by the OP and no you can't you them together LOL. So just a pointless effort to placate me.

It does work on cameras though making a K3 £835 delivered?

Or should I be cheeky? Their T&C's state they have the right to 'reject any order from any customer or person without reason'. However further down it says 'In the event that for any reason whatsoever (cancelled card, rejection by the issue centre, etc.), the amounts payable by the customer cannot be debited, the purchasing process shall be cancelled and the contract shall not be completed.'

Now, having paid, with receipts to prove it - did/do I have a 'contract?

Bit of fun anyway

LOL - Slam! 'Sorry... We're closed'

6/4 she will be contacting you again after hitting some more brickwalls, either that or her research will take her to a gumtree 'pro'

Yup these are an utter disgrace! Where's the detail? Sharpness? Contrast and colour? Just don't know where we are headed anymore, please Ricoh get your act together or I am selling up and moving to Kodak. Hopefully you'll win the lottery soon so you can get 1DX and whatever lens it needs that's 3x the price of the body.



(Last one is my fav)

The K5 already has 6mp too many for my day job. I believe most pros think 12mp is more than enough. Nikon got it spot on sticking with the 16mp in the DF, but in a way that camera is immune from the megapixel race due to its 'back to basics' ethos and high end niche market. If Pentax were to bring out a FF with even the 12mp sensor from the D700 I'd be very happy, but I imagine the general public & reviewers might be scratching their heads and have the snide comments ready to go.

Megapixels is more of a marketing ploy now to all, except those with specialists requirements. Pixel peeping on a computer screen might make you feel great about your camera, but is has nothing to do photography, or even general picture quality IMO. When I hear youtubers like Grainger and Polin banging about 'look at these gorgeous files!', 'look at these options!', 'full frame is where you wanna be!', for sure they're nice, as they should be for the price, but state the facts, stop 'selling' us fantasy cameraland, lets hear about the real world and real basic requirements for once.

I would love a McLaren MP4-12 - but I would still only be able to drive it at 70mph everyday. Well, 77mph.

Suddenly, I'm really missing generator....




I hope this kills the 'full frame' lens on a APSC 'brings the object closer' bu**s**t to bed as well.

Yes I think you're right, although the review doesn't scream 'buy it', I don't think it's that kind of lens, a classy lens for the discerning photographer shall I say perhaps. I just have the feeling it would open another avenue for everyday 'one lens' shooting.

Price tag is hefty, but still about the same if not cheaper and certainly more convenient than running a second 'discerning' system, (the Fuji's being my pick), along side. I believe with a zoom len stuck on the front the Fuji are barely anymore pocketable either.

Need more reviews though, that Sigma still looks like fun, decisions decisions
