I wish Pentax would simply offer a live, uncompressed hdmi out on thier cameras (as well as more video options) and let us go to third parties like black magic design for the video capture devices.

just saw this post.
there have been mamy threads on this topic in the past..and it is too late for you.. but..
I would opt for TWO 360's over one 540 anyday..
swivel is overratted.. you want great flash shots you MUST get that flash off camera and once you do..swivel is moot...
so that's my two cents for anybody else looking at flash units.

I mulled over this comment for sometime, then I thought I have to submit it. A "what if moment" occured to me. On the one hand we have "Billy Whizz" the computer kid who is red hot with PhotoShop/Lightroom who comes across an obscure reasonable photograph, transforms it on his PC and makes loadsamoney. On the othe hand we have "good old Fred" who spends 72 hours sat on the icepack waiting, waiting, waiting for that b*#^×*dy polar bear to take a seal as it vents for air through the ice hole! Fred makes some money, but, he can't work a computer. I know which one I would like to share a beer with.
I'm assuming Freds beer on the ice pack is good and cold?I mulled over this comment for sometime, then I thought I have to submit it. A "what if moment" occured to me.

what about breast implants and plastic surgery?
isn't that like photoshopping real life???
is an unmanipulated image of a fake person still a fake?

I would love to see a standardized, mandatory, pie chart in the corner of every advertising image that spells out how heavily manipulated the image is.

Pentax didn't have a digitally designed lens for the 645D, but they did when they released it.
I think if they do release a FF DSLR then they will certainly have a lens to package with it.
agreed... a 24-80 or 24-90 f4 would rock...Pentax didn't have a digitally designed lens for the 645D, but they did when they released it.

think the 16-45 all grow'd up....

works best in good light or on high contrast subjects... best with a cable release when possible.
