Hi Andy,
Welcome to the forum
My advice would be without doubt to go the SRS route. Simply Electronics are a seller from Hong Kong (nothing wrong in that necessarily) and import grey products into the UK. I have heard many not so glowing reports about them in a number of forums. TBH I would definitely steer clear, just my opinion

Couldn't agree more Stefan

Yes kinda what I meant to say

Ah you have an SR12 Don, basically a bigger hard drive version of my SR11.

Lovely cams, must admit I was totally bowled over with the image quality when I got it last summer and still am

Why does it have to be 3 CCD HDV? I'm intrigued.....

My HDR-SR11 isn't?

Congratulations Simon

Could you post the images that made it into the Ramblers Guide :

That set-up looks way too unbalanced for me

Hi George,
Welcome to the forum
Enjoy your K10D and I look forward to seeing some shots from you soon

I agree with Don,
I have a Sony HD camcorder (HDR-SR11) which produces pretty impressive full HD footage but that will in no way influence my interest in the K-7.

The way I look at it, the K-7 will be a fantastic D-SLR with the added bonus of being able to capture HD perhaps when you don't have your camcorder handy.
I think it's a very solid feature that would have been a mistake for Pentax to leave out as quite obviously the capability is there.

Of course IMHO

Yes all my Oly gear has now gone, sad because as a system I rate it very highly (as you know) but they didn't have a Pro/enthusiast body I liked/wanted. Pentax certainly tick the box in that area, especially now the K-7 has been released.
It is interesting, if you take a look on the Oly SLR forum at dpreview you will see about a couple of sizeable threads by Oly users commenting on the new K-7 as the camera body Oly should have released instead of the E-30 / E-620, which is exactly my sentiment.
