but when using a big lens like the Bigma its an absolute must to keep the camera balanced if using handheld.
I never have a problem with the Bigma sans grip handheld. Even on the Ds it was fine. Horses for courses.....

AAAAARGH!

As I said before it isn't only in the UK - no where in Europe has them yet. Stop being so insular about it. You'll just have to wait like the rest of us.
The chances are you'll get them before us anyway - just as you did with the K20d.

The rest of Europe is also awaiting the K7's arrival.

Wasn't it that baths which one the first series of Restoration on BBC TV?

My husband was pleased it won, coming from near Oldham he had been there often as a boy.

I like the photo though Gemma does look a bit alarmed. The dress actually fits in well with all that art deco glass work too.

Don't try and clean the mirror! leave that well alone. Cleaning the sensor with the right equipment is not a problem not is cleaning the focussing screen, which you can after all remove if you have the right tweezers, but never ever touch the mirror.
Since the dust doesn't affect the photos you take I'd leave well alone.

Sounds like a move to a warmer/drier climate is in order Gwyn. My wife has osteoarthritis in just about every joint and had to give up dancing in UK because of it. She's been in Spain now since 2004 and dancing again, twice a week.
It's tempting Peter but my husband has four years until retirement, and the grandkids are here. I fancy La Palma as it is an island I know well, but mainland Spain would make more sense, and there are some bargains to be had there nowadays (house wise). Meanwhile I'll keep swallowing the NSAIDs.

A ball head can generally take more weight than a pistol grip so if you are thinking of using it with any heavy lens/body combos check the maximum weight the head can hold first.

It works fine for me. I can even download it in Spanish.
