As long as it takes SD cards not CF I'd be a happy bunny with what you just described

I don't use it, but if they come up with a better version (a la Olympus, or the new Nikon, with a tiltable screen) I probably would.

Congratulations Remco! Beautiful weather at the moment to try it out too!

If this new one is smaller than the K20D, but with all the features, including Pentaprism, then my K20D will be going out the door I think. Rumour has it that it is a Pentaprism not EVF, with improved live view - let's face it if they include live view it need improving - plus lots of other goodies. But not a follow on from the K10/20 series. It will even have a new number, they say.

This appeared first on a Chinese forum and since then on the Pentaxforums. Rumour has it it is the new model - a radical departure from the previous couple according to those in the know. Who also say there is an announcement due at the end of the month .

As you can see the top is very different to the K10D and K20D.

I'm sure the team were badly affected by peter Bargh's illness. Hopefully now he is getting back into things again we won't have a repeat of the mistakes (not that I've seen them yet, maybe tomorrow). Under the circumstances I think they did a great job to get the magazine together and out on time!

It used to be written Boke and then it was pronounced with short vowels - Bock-uh but the spelling was changed along with the pronunciation over the years. Bock-uh is still acceptable though.

They don't know it's sex yet so no name for a while. They weren't even sure Tamani (the mother) was pregnant so it was a nice surprise for them to see the baby there on Friday. Good to see Bokito is good for more than attacking the visitors .

Bo-kay. My son's Japanese (ex)girlfriend pronounced it that way so I'm guessing it's right. Even though in Japanese vowels are normally short for some reason, I assume because it isn't a proper Japanese word she the vowels are long.

Stefan - is this the baby at Blijdorp? If so even the keepers didn't realise it was coming until they saw him/her on Friday! You can be forgiven for not having the "right lens"(not so sure about not having a tripod/monopod with you at a zoo though).
It is a powerful image in spite of it's obvious technical shortcomings - but then often the best images are not the technically perfect ones, but ones conveying real emotion. I like the B/W version!
Maybe you can get back again this week for another try, though the baby won't be so brand new of course and the crowds will be bigger no doubt as news spreads.
