Cheers Mr dogdirt! Thanks for the compliment on my pictures, i look forward to seeing yours soon?

Nice to meet you as you well i hope you got some good shots that day.

ok cheers hadnt thought of borders ill give it a go.

Im having problems when i goto get my pics printed in that where ive cropped my picture to make it look its absoloute best when i goto alter
the print size in paintshop pro x2 i cant get the pictute to exactly fit
onto a 6 x 4 , 7 x 5 or 8 x 6 they are always slightly the wrong dimension - how do you guys get your pics to fit the image to the print
size?

Dosent seem to make any difference to my Hdr shots take a look for yourself on the link below i shoot vitrually everything for Hdr.

The pentax K10 did use to Auto Bracket using the 2 or 10 second timer but after one of the firmware upgrades it didnt - i guess they forgot to put it back in. The K20 does auto bracket using the timer or you can do what i do with my K10 buy a wired shutter release works fine.

When i bought my K10 i upgraded my home and contents insurance for a couple of extra quid a month this covers my camera for accidental damage and theft in the home or on location - imho its well worth it there a loads of additional benefits aside from the camera cover.

im with hefty1 and McBrian ,

But its down to personal choice whatever works for you is best.

With respect i still disagree, i only use my strap when taking a picture when the picture has been taken it goes back in my lowepro slingshot not round my neck when getting in a car, having a coffee, i dont have children, muggers dont worry me im bigger than the average hoody! and if you were mugged its easier for a "steaming" mugger to rip the camera from your hand and be gone into a crowd than goto the hassle of getting the strapped from around your neck.
Your arguement regarding the "trip" is a little bit of a strange one , if the cameras in your hand and say you trip up or down a set of stairs your natural human reaction is to reach out and protect yourself with your hands therefore i would imagine the camera would bounce either up or down said stairs ouch , it might just be that if the same happened with a strapped camera the unit might be in better condition once said "trip" had completed"

not sure if i agree with you , if its in the bag you cant take pictures with it there and if its in your hand and trip or have a moment the cameras on the floor

mmmmmmmmm
