If the team runs out of things to do, it could teach the site how to count. On the members on-line page, it always over-counts by one.

Didn't know that, did you?

I have been spending some time going through the gallery pictures. One way to get a flavour of the riches within is to select a particular category, and look at pictures sorted by number of views.

This approach delivers some absolute gems. I suspect that many of us look at the competition pictures, and at those posted to the "Your photos" section, and seldom or never look at the main gallery, especially if we don't post to it ourselves.

There are some stunners lurking there. The architecture gallery is especially good in my view, but chaque a son gout.

The only disappointment is the glamour/nudes section, which contains some really cheesy stuff which should never have seen the light of day (IMHO). Sadly, the portraits section also contains a number of pictures of scantily clad girls which just aren't very good, and which should also have been placed in the cheese department.

Judging by the viewing statistics, this is a forum for mice. The cheese pictures get far more views than the other categories. No surprise there, I suppose, and I can't claim to be oblivious to pulchritudinous nubility myself. It's just that it's usually so badly done.

Anyway, have a look, if you are a gallery virgin. There's lots of good stuff there if you're not a rodent.

I think you are correct, but two characters are not enough, and several people call their machines K5D.

No, Techno, it's not you. Some are just very bad. This forum's search isn't great, but I have seen much worse.

Agree with Chris. K10 or 20 is the way to go.

Funnily enough, I prefer the picture quality of the 10, but there's not a lot in it.

Life is so hard when you're a student.

In my day we used to make pinhole cameras out of cornflakes packets rescued from people's bins. Couldn't afford cornflakes ourselves, of course. Just a little oatmeal and some salted herrings.

We'd save up all year so that we could afford to buy half a pint when we graduated.

And our parents thought we had it easy.

Times have changed.

We can do without such stupid people. It's 1st April, for God's sake.

G

Not enough letters. Try K5D.

I suspect few people connect flash cables to cameras any more, so it's not something Pentax bothered to test.

I used to use an IR trigger, but good ones cost an unjustifiably large amount of money, and bad ones are unreliable. So I generally use a cheap flashgun gun pointed away from the subject and on low power.

Which raises the question, Mr Hatter, who is this for?

Personally, I don't think it's a substitute for an SLR, though it might be a reasonable alternative to one when on holiday, say, and needing to travel light. So, it could be complementary.

It will be interesting to see what the new owners think about it when they've had it six months.
