Sadly not a holiday.
An aged Uncle died yesterday, and it seems the earliest his funeral can be held is sometime in August so I am considering going over for it, if I can get everything organised, like dog care which will be tough in peak season, and the travel will also cost an arm and a leg in peak season. If I get the date of the funeral early enough I will probably sleazyjet it as that will be cheapest. Bro will pick me up in Luton.
My brother lives in Chalfont St Giles, so is not too far from Watford.
However I won't let a good funeral get in the way if I do drive over

I have a 10-20 and I don't like it for landscapes to be honest, so you aren't missing out on anything by not buying one.. It is good for buildings however.

I agree with the others that the 16-45 is a bargain at the mo, though if you can afford it the 16-50 is the way to go.
That said when I get round to it I may well buy the 17-70 as a walkabout lens. I'm hoping someone here will buy one and tell us what it is like .

Seems I may be visiting the UK next month so a trip to Watford may be on the cards if I go by car, otherwise, if I fly sleazyjet, I may have some goodies delivered to my brother .

We'd never have guessed

I use PSE 6 for everything - so also for RAW conversion. OK the RAW converter isn't brilliant but it is heaps better than it was in PSE 4, as is the whole package.
Why do I use PSE? I was given PSE4 as a present. It did nearly everything I wanted it to do, and PSE6 is very near perfect for me. I don't need the full PS package. I'd never use most of the features, and I 'd rather spend the dosh on camera equipment to be honest (which is also why I use PSE for RAW conversions too - can't really justify forking out more cash on a separate program at this point). My friend, a graphic designer, uses CS3 at home for fun, but rarely for photos. She likes "painting" with it.

I've never tried Gimp or Photofiltre os any of the other freeware options, since I was given PSE within a month or so of going digital. Another friend swears by Photofiltre and gets really good results from it together with her little Canon P&S and heaps of natural talent.

Jalbum also offer an online service now. Quite a reasonable price. Zenfolio is probably more professional looking though. Not sure if you can hot link from Jalbum either, I always use photobucket for that.

Current new price here is around €475. 270 pounds is about €340, so it is a good deal even with postage added.

You may have a long wait before the price of the K20D drops below 400 pounds.
Why not see what Pentax have to say about your Ds? And in the meantime only sell off any lenses you really don't need/use regardless of how they are on the Ds - it'll all help towards a new camera, without you losing some of them gems you own.

Alternatively, if you are a patient man then hang on to everything until after Photokina in September, and see what, if anything, Pentax announce then.

It seems a shame to sell off all the lenses if you are intending to stick to Pentax. If you prefer Nikon maybe you should consider the Fuji DSLRs. I know Marc (Pentaxke) is very impressed with them.

Well I have a Ds but I don't have any of the same lenses as John so I can't help. I have never had any focussing problems with my Ds though.
Maybe Remco (Golfdiesel) has some of the same lenses and can comment.

I understand your reluctance to replace the Ds but honestly if I had that many lenses giving me problems with it I would replace it. I intend to replace mine one of these days, even though the K20D is bigger and heavier etc etc, It won't last forever, whereas the glass will. Chelmsford is a bit far to test the lenses on my Ds

I can't really vote in your poll as I do a few things. Nor can I answer your questions. I haven't a clue what AppleTV is for instance

I print some photos. I also make albums of some using jalbum and put them on line for friends and family to look at if they so wish. I have made a couple of printed albums - of my sons weddings and of our grandson. I never was into slides or more accurately into slide shows so I would never think of showing my photos in that way at home.

I never go on a summer holiday - we always go early or late so I don't have any typical summer holiday type photos. Plus we tend to go for activity and scenery not lazing about. Hmmm tough one for me. And with the weather as horrible here no chance of taking one specially for the comp.
I shall have to give it more thought, and avoid the nautical theme

Oh and what happened to the sailor of the Laser(?) Hyram/Belinda? Had you fallen overboard and is that why Belinda took the photo
