OK the K5 is a good camera. In fact it is a brilliant camera.

What did they say that got you so worried??

And any one else who loves polar bears.

Three zoos in the Netherlands have baby bears.

You can see them here, in Ouwehands zoo (not too far from me!), and
here at Blijdorp in Rotterdam (sorry but you get an advert first

the third zoo doesn't seem to have a webcam.

I'm looking forward to when the babies go outside .

I suppose now Arnie is out of a job, and excluded from the Big One he may well be back with another Terminator. No doubt in 3D this time.

Ziplock bag added to my packing list :

I shan't bother getting a filter, just rely on my cleaning skills. If it is blowing up a storm I doubt very much I'll be out on deck getting wet and frozen .

Not yet a problem and I hope it won't become one .

A week today start my Hurtigruten trip.

My camera will be subject to extreme changes of temperature a lot - outside on the boat to inside on the boat and the same on excursions.
This is a recipe for condensation.

How can I prevent this becoming a problem - not just lenses steaming up but condensation on/in the body which is potentially far more of a problem
Or is that not the case with a weatherproofed camera?

I have plenty of little bags of silica gel to take with me.


Oh and I don't normally use a protective filter on my lenses - would one be a good idea given the maritime climate, or will cleaning the lens thoroughly suffice?

I agree Mike, it is too expensive. 400GBP is more like it, that would be almost tempting. Almost.

Cheapest I have found it here is €599, which is not tempting.

I'll stick to my black one thanks.

I don't mind all the brightly coloured K-x and K-r models, but personally (and I'm probably in a minority of one here) I really don't like the silver models. They look cheap some how.
