Can I have a camera the size of the Ds please? I don't need millions of MP, nor video, though it would be nice, but I do want more than the K-x offers at the moment.

Manual mirror lock up would be good.
I would like to have the option to turn off the slow shutter speed NR too.

Built in GPS tagging would be great, though not a popular goody I think.


I have never been in love with my K20D. I really don't like it. Too big, too heavy and I need to have it set to +1 exposure compensation permanently. I can't afford to replace it yet. I shall have to wait for the K-7 replacement.

on insurance...
This is basically the information I got from the insurance companies here in the Netherlands.
Have you tried the omroep insurance? That covers pretty much every eventuality, including checking your gear and keeping it in a car. You don't have to work in Hilversum or be connected with the omroepen to get it. It is a bit more expensive than some, I know, but it is pretty comprehensive cover.

I've just downloaded it. Very nice. Even tells me my house is at sea level .

Now to remember to get up early enough to make use of it. Maybe I'll wait until the clocks go forward .

I am surprised it doesn't work for you Gareth. It seems to cover South Wales very well.

Why do you feel the need for a screen protector in the first place?

A serious question.

I have one I never use. I would consider selling it, but have no idea what is a good/reasonable price for it.
I'm not sure you can PM yet, but you can reply to ones sent to you so I'll PM you about it.

For God's sake no-one mention the ipad. Oh fiddle, I just did.
If it can be used to store photos then it might be handy, does it have support for PEF or DNG?
The screen is large enough to make a decent guess if the photo is good or not.
More importantly does the iPad have a card reader? It doesn't have any USB ports.

I had a photo on one of our websites, converted for the web using PSE, so no Exif or IPTC data on it. Because it was on our website it was a largish file.
I then saw it on another site, claimed by someone else. Because I had no proof it was mine I had to let it go. I argued my case, but that's the internet for you.

The photo has now been taken down from our site, and from the other one thank goodness.
I rarely post photos, and am even more reluctant to do so now.

I have Bing (amongst others) on FF and it is no problem. I switch between Bing and Google all the time.

Google's search engine is the only part of the mega business that I use, and I'd rather not use that. I do not like Google, and tbh would rather use Bing or an alternative.

Google are taking over the internet, corrupting it, and tracking your every move without telling you what they do with that data.

And now they want the rights to every book published too

Give me Microsoft any day.

Any reason why the JPEG artefacts are horrendous in both images?
Probably because of the method I used to resize for the web. The artefacts aren't there in the full size photos, but I'm not putting high quality photos up any more. I had one pinched recently and have learned my lesson. I'd rather put up a low quality picture without watermark than stick a watermark across it.
