lay a beanbag on top of the lens and use your hand to trip the normal wired release?

I couldn't resist making wise with the cracks there!
I like bridge cameras.
I used to have a canon pro one, was an ok camera. deceitful for Canon to market that lens as an "L" lens, the g5 was better, if more limited in focal length...

I'm with Pentaxophile on this one... work with what you got...
as for vibrations... get to a sporting goods store and see if you can find some of those soft rubber practice hockey pucks and buy 3. one for under each leg of your tripod... fortunately for me, hockey pucks grow naturally in the wild in Canada. You can usually find them growing in eves-troughs, under parked cars, in the ditches along the roads... anywhere damp and dark... we never have to buy them.

the g12, no hacking required.... I'd buy one but..... My birfdayz comming and Gerri keeps asking me questions about what benifits to the business the k5 offers over our current crop of cameras... robbie_d wrote:

Forum policy probably prevents my desired response, so I will merely say:Current Canon and Pentax compacts are not aimed at the same purpose or market in most cases, so comparing them is slightly futile.

I hope Pentax gets whatever it has been working on out to market soon... Nikon is releasing a "Pro" mirror less system soon, and rumors from Samsung as well...
Be nice to see Pentax aiming for that market as well....
It is nice to see them out there marketing. That is good news... Did Hoya have a booth as well?

Sure your focussing is calibrated on the DA* 16-50 ??
My DA* 50-135 is almost the same as my A50/1.4 and A50/1.7 in terms of sharpness
agreed you should be able to count the eyelashes with either...Sure your focussing is calibrated on the DA* 16-50 ??
My DA* 50-135 is almost the same as my A50/1.4 and A50/1.7 in terms of sharpness
even my new 35 2.4 is sharper than that sample from the 16-50....
as for the fast fifties.... for general use... buy whichever you get the best deal on, they are both good enough that unless you have specific needs, either will do just fine, the differences only matter to a very few specialized needs....
Comment by Don posted on Pentax A 50 1.4: how good is it? at 18/01/2011 - 15:13
stick a pentax flash set to SB on your k5 between now and then....
(some problems can be fixed faster than typing a complaint on the internet...lol)
