Hi Feeb, just a hunch (because I don't use Adobe that often) but could it be that you have your camera to output RAW as PEF rather than DNG? Others more familiar with Adobe will no doubt be better versed to make suggestions

smoke and mirrors don't always work

I calibrate my monitor using a Spyder3Pro, the software reminds you to recalibrate every couple of weeks. I find it a pretty quick and painless process

FF is arguably cutting edge for '35mm DSLRs' so pentax either joins the fight or turns it's face to the wall......there IS no in between ground.

If by "FF" you mean the 36x24mm format (and I guess you do) then how can anything based on a 100+ year old set of measurements possibly be described as "cutting edge"? It's the oldest game going and in 10 years people will look back in puzzlement at the current crop of unneccessarily large and expensive "FF" cameras and wonder what kind of collective mania overtook those fool enough to shell out good money on them.

APS-C is far from perfect and I'm all for innovation (I really like the square sensor idea!) but 36x24 is a backwards step into the last century and it's high time the industry moved on. If you want a system that's truly cutting edge then try Micro FourThirds, not the doddering old-tech that Nikon, Canon and Sony would dearly like you to buy into.

Agree 100%

Quick answer, over time I think probably..... but it will take some time.

I think Panasonic are going for the point and shoot to first DSLR market with this camera. Different colour bodies and videos showing girls popping it in their 'hand luggage' shows where they are aiming.

Also it may be close to the size of the K-7 but it will be quite a bit lighter without a pentaprism and plastic non weather sealed construction.

It looks a nice concept but I would have to see the EVF to be more interested, good though apparently it is. Oh and lens wise I think I've read one or two reviews that say they are not the best..... and because of size constraints a little on the slow side.

Still it is an interesting little camera

For me the new Oly micro 4/3 concept is a more interesting prospect

Cliff, most of my captures look like this

Gareth, as I understand it the K-7 is being pushed as an incremental step up from the K20D.

The 'fill in' model (due 3rd / 4th quarter) will effectively replace both the K20D and K200D models.

So from that I would see the 'fill in' model as an incremental step down from the K20D

Umm... well I hope passive shop managers aren't a trend for their sakes because it will come back to bite them

At least we know one that is far from passive (lucky for us)

Joking aside I understand where you are coming from, as a matter of fact I visited LCE in Guildford a few years back when I was deciding between an Oly E-510 and K10D. Then they seemed pretty pro each brand, at least the guy I spoke to then was (don't think he was the manager).
