If you where to come of the bike and land on your back with a rucksack full of hard camera gear, you could do some real damage to your spine.
Use a tank bag or proper designed metal panniers.

I do hope the PENTAX designers don`t read this forum or they will all commit suicide. They bring out a great camera and all the experts on here slag it off.To Most people noise goes in there ears not eyes. a picture looks nice or not,
TO many on this forum appear obsessed with technicalities.
Just my observations.

Very true
Lengthen short end by 10, shorten long end by 50, fit ring AF motor, f/2.8, 1.5&2.x converters, body with AF points down to f/8,motor sport,birds,portraiture, mount fuji sorted.
Wont happen Pentax are to photography what honda are to motorcycling.

Pentax need to update there SDM lenses to ring motor AF, and stop using cheap micro motors, they should have started with the 60.250 and made it f/2.8 for the same price. Pentax don`t have to add IS/VR to the lenses, canikon IS/VR lenses are twice the price of none IS/VR lensES, lens stabilisation (is that a word) is very costly
This will give the AF speed most people appear to wont, coupled to a better in body AF system as well.
A couple of new teleconverters would be nice.
I have been looking at the D7100 as it has a good AF system or the 7D as the lenses interest me more.
I will hang on to the end of the year and see what pentax come up with, but at my age you can`t hang on to long.

Once the makers get there act together, the next generation of DSLRs will be sans filter.
With the constant upgrade of technology the filter is not needed any moire

According to the latest Digital Photo, if you stop your monthly sub you will not be able to open files as you will not have photoshop any more.
So will some body please tell me how this will happen if it is down loaded on your PC.
the real headache will come when you buy a new camera and your old copy of photoshop will not open the RAW FILES., short and curly comes to mind.
