Should Pentax look at the Samsung NX mount?

Alternatively they could reduce the register distance with a clever optical device and allow K mount lenses to be used on a new mirrorless body.

I'd prefer a K-5 though!

Come on guys, it is a pentax user's site!

If another camera has to be used to illustrate something in a thread then so be it.

But comp's and gallery images should be Pentax taken. The occasional odd shot in the gallery seems fine but by and large it's for Pentax cameras, although how do you class a film, taken with a pentax then scanned using a cannon scanner?

If it's a 1000cc you want check out the Honda Hornet.

They also do a 650, both off which are well priced and great fun on the open road and in town.

Suzuki's are notorious for their poor finish, I've had several at work and they rot away in a matter of a year or so.

I can't comment on new Beemas but my old one was/is fine, as long as any salt is rinsed off at the end of the day.

Most Honda's I've ridden seem to survive British weather well as well Kris.

Thanks Gareth, I've had the Beema from new but not ridden her much since I got a job riding for a living..

Quick change...

Developed and scanned the film from my Olly XA, some rersults here and here.

Can't post the shots here as they're not Pentax...

So it's a point and shoot with an APS sensor and removable lens?

Not to mention another lens mount!

If Sony are serious about this segment of the market they'll have to try harder than this.

The current PEN and GF-1 models can use existing lenses, the Samsung GX10 looks the part, but the Sony just looks like a P&S with a big lens. People want style as well as image quality in this section of the market, Sony's advertising department is going to have a hard job selling this one!

I've had cards from Staples, W.H.Smiths and a local PC store, not to mention MX2.COM.

All are still going strong.

The thing to watch is the 'class' of the card.

Class 2 cards have the slowest write speed and class 8 the highest, at the moment.

For burst shooting or video don't get anything below class 4.

I notice there's no rating on the image or in the spec!

Apparently you need a licence to watch 'live' transmissions by the BBC over the internet, but not recorded ones!

How can they tell?

Check out this link, tell them you're a forum member and get free delivery.

I use a K200, nice camera and better suited to somebody with some experience.
