OH! thats an old one

this was publicized several years ago when some guy (reportedly) grew breasts after a prolonged diet of mainly fried chicken and beer, allegedly chicken contains a large quantity of the female hormone and beer stops your body getting rid of it......got to got now, wife is taking me out shopping for a new bra!

Hmmm! thanks Peter, maybe next time I should actually read everything instead of scrolling straight to the technical bits.

Dang! link not working has anyone else had the problem? maybe the site is flooded.


As for those images, I cant wait for my K10D

Things are looking good for a reasonable price then?

One thing that puts me off the K10D is the battery, its bad enough for istD owners having to handle two sets of cards, but that battery.....

Does anyone know if this is charged "in" camera or does it come with a seperate charger? and the ?£50? price tag for a spare is a bit OTT considering what a few decent sets of NiMh AA's cost.

If the battery is charged while in situ then that renders the camera unusable for the duration, surely not what you'd expect in a "professional" body, but I suppose a pro would have several spares anyway, seems to me that Pentax is not only wanting to compete in the photographic market but wants a share in the battery marketplace too.

Fortunately its not April so I suppose we can all safely think this was a genuine "mistake" by Steves Digicams.
I too noticed a few discrepancies in the technical info, no mention of DOFP for instance, although looking at the power switch it was definately there. And what about that ISO100 setting is that going to be great or what, or is it another error?
As for price I dont think its going to be that much different from canons new 10mp baby (note the distinct lack of respect by ignoring the capital c, hehehe)

Which leaves us with a good chance that the new K10D will be under the £900 mark, of course I could always wait till next year and get one in the US if our New England trip comes off! (hope customs and excise dont read this forum)

Now someone show me a link to UK availability and then I will believe that "its here"

looks a very nice bit of kit but I wonder how often that "sticky" pad underneath the CCD will need changing?

right then, time to have a little chat with the wife, tell her how much this little beauty will improve my photography.

Key Fobs?

wouldn't you leave your car keys at home? and if you were driving to the airport wouldn't you be leaving your keys with the parking services?, or are you guys so rich you can afford to leave it in the multi-storey?

As for stowing camera gear in the hold, if an airline insisted on this wouldn't they be responsible for any loss or damage?

I agree with Ken, check your houshold policy and/or have a chat with your insurers,

I got £4000 cover for personal possessions away from home (including accidental damage) for not much more than a specific camera insurance would have cost for £2000 worth of kit, plus I didn't have to specify items so it covers me for anything, the only thing we had to itemise was the wifes engagement ring which has obviously increased in value over the years taking it over the £1k threshold for specified items. True I paid £1200 for my istD but that was with lens, CF card and AF360FGZ but they are still individual items.

IMO specific camera insurance is for pro's who need immiediate replacement or hire cover.

My wife always says "when your times up, your times up"

A very great loss, its ironic that this guy courted death in so many ways yet was killed in and "unfortunate" accident
Personaly I think he was nuts to do the stuff he did, but there again so are formula one drivers, pot holers, mountain climbers etc etc.

Well lets see,
I have the leather jacket
I have the Pentax




...........now all of you just get lost and leave me alone, this is MY forum and I wish you'd all go away......

Do I qualify now?

I agree with Daniel, nice one!

My first reaction was to look at your camera settings and see if you could have got a better DOF, but I decided that even at f32 you'd have been hard pushed to get it all pin sharp. As it stands I think you chose the best option, concentrating on the head.

Did you use the AF-360FGZ off camera? and did you leave it on auto?
