Hehehe, yeah I googled that awhile ago as I was finding his 'defensive' stalker-esque posts somewhat suspect. Jules, I think the comments from members on his second thread show really how you've got to deal with such things - stand back have a chuckle and then slag'em up.I wouldn't be too concerned about the personal slants.

Anyhoo...... these DXO results are making me think of something I said during one of the 'dissections' of the K5iis threads - the K5mki is now looking such incredible value, main thing for me is that extra dynamic range - really useful and competes with any camera.

it's clear that Pentax have ergonomics, build quality and overall handling sorted - if they can repeat that formula with a FF camera they will be onto a winner.
Yup, when/if it comes, it's gonna be good. I think that's the only explanation why we're hanging on, it's like a disease, an infection of Pentaxtitousit's clear that Pentax have ergonomics, build quality and overall handling sorted - if they can repeat that formula with a FF camera they will be onto a winner.

I suppose we could wonder how many of the laymen have actually even heard of DXO labs though too? that's how the great unwashed will see it and it makes it a harder sell to them...:

Hmmm, not sure what to make of that. Its marginal to no difference in the real world, but the layman follows number stats, however insignificant. So bit of a stinger to have come out behind the D7100, especially considering its superior AF.
The other number the layman follows is the most important, price, so maybe this will see the K3 dropping to D7100 levels sooner rather than later.

Excellent! You've saved yourself ££££'s, you've now got the latest in fashionable looking retro cameras and with a 35mm 'sensor'.
I love nothing better than going out with my Pentax MX and 50mm lens, and how cool does it look too!
While I'm sure this forum can offer loads and loads of help, my advice would be type any query/subject into Youtube, there is a teaching video for everything, hell there is even a video on how to get dog sh** out of your carpet.

Deary me, you must be glad to have washed your hands of that.
What goes around comes around' is about as polite as I can be. Ask and you shall receive.
Bloody hell what she's using a Nokia 6320?

Hmmm, a mystery light streak. I sometimes get the same thing, get a streak across the middle of the frame, always the same place, and yes the viewfinder was covered properly.
I finally noticed like you have done, it was when the sun was hitting from a certain angle, so I started putting my hand over the 'sun' side which seemed to solve it. Mystified I investigated the lens (Sigma 10-20 I think) and noticed it doesn't sit entirely flush with the camera mount from about 7-8 o'clock, it could be light is sneaking in there?
Apart from that I'm stumped!
