I have just been enjoying photos from Nepal on another forum, taken with a Km7d, and on yet another forum I've also seen photos taken in the high Andes with a Canon 350D. Neither photographer reported altitude problems. (At least not with the camera!)

My two very left handed sons cope just fine with right handed cameras. They have left handed guitars, drumsets and mice but the cameras present no problem. My left-eyed husband on the other hand has more trouble looking through the view finder - his (not so delicate) nose gets in the way!

I'll have to sort out a pic of my bass for you - fretless, birds-eye maple neck, wenge body, bubinga fretboard, handmade.

There is also the new Sigma 70mm F2.8 EX DG lens to consider. I have heard from a Minolta user that this is a superb lens, and make a good portrait lens too. It gives the same field of view on an APS DSLR as the 105mm does on a 35mm SLR.

I have an old (non digital) Tamron 90mm which I am very happy with.

Accus? Dutch?

would you care to elaborate?

Car batteries are called accu's in Dutch (accumulators I assume), and sometimes people also call rechargeables accu's instead of herlaadbaar. And since Jean-Paul referred to accu's in his posting I guessed he was Dutch. Simple.

Hi Jean-Paul, I use CR-V3 batteries in my Ds. They cost a bit to buy but last for ages. Maybe not as enviromentally good as rechargeables (accu's - are you Dutch?) but I've never had a problem with them.
Pentax recommend Alkalines purely as an emergency option - not all functions will be supported with Alkalines.

Don't Hoya make Tokina lenses? And a lot of Canon lenses are made by Hoya too I believe.

So how does he manage poor photos from the K10D with the 16-45mm lens?

And why does he test the Canon 400D with the Canon EF-S 17-55 F/2.8 IS-- a lens costing 869 euros on a 659 euro body?

Sorry, but he is definitely Canon biased.

Typical non-Canon review from Mr Askey I would say. He couldn't have another brand scoring better than his precious Canon.....
