I know and I will, but I do like to submit a nice fresh shot for the competitions if I can.

I bought a K20 which was faulty and eventually exchanged for a K7 which was faulty which was exchanged for another K7 which I traded in for a K5 which was faulty and exchanged for another K5 which was faulty and will be exchanged for another K5.

But I wouldn't hesitate in buying a K5 as long as you buy it from a good dealer who will deal promptly with any issues. I'm very happy with mine (SRS).

The K5 is a great camera. If it develops stains then you get a new one. That's a good deal.

These are my favourite recent rejections:

Thanks very much. There are plenty left for a bit more playing.

They sell packets of dandelion seeds at the local garden centre, but I don't think they do a roaring trade.

Good set but solitude is a standout shot.

But would the grocer mind customers crawling around on his floor.

I might have to crawl around until September to find some. The morels are snaffled up by those who know their closely guarded whereabouts and it hasn't rained for a month.

Cracking captures. Gorgeous light. 3 for me, at a pinch.

I can only see tiny photos on the links so it is difficult to say.
