I ordered "Steamed Chicken" in a white wine sauce and the VP had "Carpaccio" and a Leff Beer...Now "That" is great news

Oh..They picked up the Tab...
Mmmm Leffe
The VP has taste

Maybe Pentax are going for the South Korean Electronic Technology Institue's super sensitive sensor and we can all throw out our flashguns

Those were the days!
I operated an ICL 1908 computer in the early 70's - an airconditioned room full for a magnificent 128K and stacks of expensive disks. Still it got the work done and we had fun with it. My OH worked on PDP8s and they were used to control satellites.

I was relieved to see that we didn't get Sir Becks this time, inspite of the rumours. No doubt he will get it when Bliar goes next week, for services to tabloid newspapers probably.

I use my tripod quite a lot. I use it mostly for wildlife with the Bigma but also for landscapes. If I don't use the tripod I rest the camera on something if I can. But then I don't have SR so maybe if I had that I would use the tripod less.
I am considering getting a monopod for countryide stomping, and for when I fly to go on holiday.

I use Elements 4 at the moment and am happy with it. Stupidly enough it is cheaper to buy the full version of Elements 5 than the upgrade, which is one reason why I haven't upgraded.
However for simple resizing jobs I tend to use Irfanview, which is free.

I know someone who has just bought his second ist D, rather than go for the K10D. He just prefers the D, and is delighted now to have tow of them.

I agree - it sounds very very interesting!

Classvino, sorry since getting my AF360 I haven't used it, and it isn't in my gadget bag
However what I did was get a film canister, white of course, and cut a slot out of the side of it big enough to just slide over the pop-up flash. Put, or even better glue, the lid on it, and hey presto one free, effective diffuser.

What diffuser do you have for the popup flash?
I made one out of a white film box, and used it a lot in a similar situation. It worked fine and was of course cheap!

You've been in Holland too long! But at least you put a capital letter. Was that Konijnenberg who quoted that date and price?
