Looks good.

The blurb says: "giving you the freedom to use anywhere in any situation".

Overnight?

I think the most important thing with batteries is to be able to charge each one individually. I am currently using a very cheap machine from 7dayshop which does just that, with the option to run a discharge cycle first.

My oldest NIMHs are now two and a half years old and still going strong. And they get lots of use.

What you want is plenty of depth of field - and that means using a very small aperture and a fairly wide lens.

Bear in mind, though, that a lot of the best landscapes are taken with large format cameras, not APS-C sized DSLRs.

Get yourself a good wide-angle, put it on a sturdy tripod, and step it down to it's smallest aperture - f16 or f32. If your camera has mirror lock-up, use that. Pentaxes usually combine this, sensibly, with a 2-second delay.

I thought the viewfinder was very bright and crisp. I was also surprised by this when I read the review in Smugs.

Bob,

I am indebted to you for your helpful post, and all the ideas it contained.

Good night.

Bob,

You've just apologised to Peter for the lack of clarity in your post, and now you are having a pop at me for being sarcastic.

But no doubt you're a military man, and feel that the best form of defence is attack.

Anway, now that you have explained, I can conclude that you are not illogical, just prone to unintelligibility.

Incidentally, I am quite sure there is a simple explanation for the phenomenon under discussion, and that it does not include a fault in your friend's camera. Either it's a software problem that affects all such cameras, or your friend is doing something wrong. But as I do not have the camera in question, I can't help. Sorry.

Update: after reading Peter's post. I'm sure he's right.

We get some funny posts on here at times, but this one is a classic.

Presumably this upgrade works by telepathy or something to sabotage the cameras of those who haven't upgraded. You have to hand it to those Pentax boffins! Copier cams just can't compete.

Whilst the K10D is expected to be very affordable, the K1D (if it ever happens) will be aimed high, with a price to match.

The problem with good divorce lawyers is that whatever they save you in alimony goes on their fees.

Gone are the days when a camera like the LX stayed in production for twenty years. Most cameras now have a life-cycle of about six months, so a book about them is never going to recover its costs, even if it hits the shelves before the new model arrives.

G

Very clever of them to delay publication until after the cameras have ceased production.
