I like #1 the best. Great distortion of perspective. # 3 is also brilliant.
#2 doesn't do much for me, rather a bog standard fisheye photo, sorry.

Ah well. I guess we just have to wait and see.
Maybe these rumours are more what people hope it is than what it in reality is.
It is still top of my shopping list until I hear the real specs which might make me think otherwise.
I can't see where they would put a double card slot in a K-7 sized camera anyway.

I just had a BSOD
I can't remember the last time I had one of those. Dammit, I hope this isn't a bad sign.

Pentax never said anything about a FF this year.
The market sector is very very small and Pentax just can't compete - too much development costs for too little return. They have the 645D which is also for a tiny market segment, but one for which Pentax is well known.
Lots of people (particularly on another forum) whinge on and on about a FF Pentax, but when it comes down to it I wonder how many would actually buy one. They too have a fine collection of DA lenses, most of which would be unsuitable for a FF camera, so then they could whinge on about the lack of suitable lenses too.
I too would miss the crop factor, and tbh the K-5 is about as expensive a camera as I can or would want to buy.
I wish you luck with your FF, whichever make you choose.

EU laws apply even in the UK. Everything has a 24 month guarantee under EU law. It overrides UK law.
Read about it here.
It is something which tends to be forgotten in the UK when a law is useful, but gets pointed out when a law is useless.
There are further condition attached too, but Baumatic should offer you a deal on repairing it. If a company like Eloctrolux will then Baumatic should!

He was one of the funniest, kindest and most generous people I have ever known. He was my youngest son's Godfather, and he paid for my, then 11 year old, son to have a two week holiday with him in California.
We first met him when my husband was working on a joint UK/NL/US satellite project. When I accompanied my husband on a trip to the US he gave us the keys to his house so we could stay there, since he was in Florida at the time.
We stayed with him several times over the years, and he with us. Is family became an extension of ours.
There will be no funeral for him. He is being buried at sea, as befits an ex-marine.
Tonight I shall raise a glass to Al and remember him with joy, but I am still so sad.
