You have inspired me. I was wondering what to cook tonight. OK they won't be as good as the real thing but pasties it is for me tonight.
My son saw the photo of the beast and fancied one. He'd manage all of it too.

By the way the guy who designed the OH was a dutchman who won an international design competition back in the early 70s. He never stuck around to see its completion because the egg heads paying the bills kept trying to cut corners and change his design. He ended up pulling the pin and walking out. He never came back to see it completed. His son came over a couple of years ago to accept an award on his behalf.

Can you take a tripod onboard now? They were banned as handluggage.

I am so sorry to hear that Clarky. The break-in is bad enough, the violation of your home is awful, but the theft of the irreplaceable is heartbreaking. They steal so much more than just objects. They steal memories, and most of all peace of mind.
I know how you feel having gone through something similar a few years ago - except I came face to face with the monster and could do nothing. I just froze. Luckily he just ran and didn't resort to violence.
It took a long time to get over that.

Thankyou for the explanantion Daniel.
I assume that current lenses are still compatible with it? What about for printing purposes? Does it mean always cropping the photo to more normal propotions? Why would Pentax decide to go for that format? I understand why they are making their own sensors, but the format change seems odd.

I read on another forum the probable specs of the probable new Pentax -the K20D.
they are:
14MP Pentax designed CMOS APS-H sensor
Faster autofocus
better antishake
4 photos per second
3"screen
Live view.
Now I know it is all speculation at th moment, but would you buy one?
Why do we need 14Mp apart from to fill up our computers even faster?
Can someone explain APS-C to me please?
Would you use live-view?
I assume it will be priced nearer the Olympus E-3 than the Oly E-510

I have a rocket blower and an Arctic Butterfly for my DS (so a camera without built in sensor cleaning) and have never had to resort to a liquid cleaner. I suggest you start with the Arctic Butterfly or similar and only buy a liquid cleaner if you find you can't get the sensor clean without. But do check the liquid is right for the K10D sensor.
