Yes but all pentax cameras are much over priced even the badly designed ones like the km abortion. Wait a bit longer,..perhaps till after Christmas and the price will probably drop as pentax dealers and sellers will need to get shot of the duff stuff like the km in order to flog kx.
A strange and unfounded observation about a little D-SLR that is actually very good IMHO

I agree, if they identify differently you should be OK.

Interesting.... but it's not obvious to me on what output he is making the basis of his comparisons, perhaps I am missing something :

Are we talking Jpegs straight from the camera at default noise reduction settings or Jpeg from RAW through a converter......?

I was always very happy with my results from the 50-200. I prefer the extra reach and sharpness/contrast of the 55-300, but at £109 for a WR lens it's a snip. Though I see you have the 60-250. Isn't that WR too?
Yes the 60-250 is weather and dust resistant but I was thinking that occasionally I might want to travel 'light' and then the 50-200 would be a nice compact solution. You're right, £109 is a snip.....

Pete the WR version is currently £109 at SRS, bit of a bargain.

I've been toying with the idea of getting one myself as the WR version is at SRS is currently a bit of a steal at £109, however the optical quality does appear to vary depending on what review you read.

Here is an example at Photozone 50-200 review so I am a little unsure

Does anyone know whether Open Office will run with W7?
I second Oggy's question re. Open Office and Win7.
