The GX-10 is still around, but the new GX-20 isn't available in the Netherlands. No idea why not, but if you go to the Samsung site they don't even mention it.

The Samsung isn't available in the Netherlands. Could be one reason why the price of the Pentax stay so high - and is rising again.

Funny how they are blaming the Euro for the price increase.
Here in Euroland they are STILL more expensive than in the UK even with the price hike there, and certainly after the 100pound cashback.
The cheapest I have found the K20d plus kit lens here is €961 (762 pounds), which is not from an official dealer and is probably a grey import with only the 1 year international gaurantee.
The cheapest from an official dealer is €980, but most have it for around €1000!
End of whinge.

At least Pentax UK is offering cash back. More than they are here in NL, and the prices have dropped there a lot more than here.

Chirpy is right - the titles are set by the forum owner, in this case Pentax User, along wiht how many times you must post in order to get "promotion".
No doubt John or one of the other mods could tell you the scheme of things here - it varies with every forum.

I like the b/w version - then the navy blue skies work, but personally I find the sky very unnatural in the second photo, far too dark. I just don't like it. So me me no 1 is the better colour photo, but the b/w photo works very well.

I never used a pola filter in America - the skies there (when the sun shone) were just an amazing blue, which came through fine on the photos without needing a filter. I had been told this before I went and took a chance on it.

Did you take one without the filter also?

Surely if you wanted to change the aperture only on the photos you should have set the camera to Av not Tv? Maybe that was your problem?

I used to have this problem all the time with Opera. New computer, new browser (Firefox) no more log in problems.
It was only ever with PU forum, never with any of the other forums, most of which use the same PHPBB software to run them.
Have you tried switiching skins? I found sub silver caused this more than sub red.

Jalbum also offer hosting btw. We use it a lot now our free web space on our provider is full. It's cheaper than buying extra space from the provider.
However I'm not sure that jalbum would suit Simon's needs.
