No2 for me, the eye is drawn to the daffs and away from the background.

I did the same when I got my K110 and again when I got my K200.

I've never had anything from them either.

Is it a dead site?

Or don't they like me?

It does have a comprehensive list of UK dealers though, just click on the first box!

and well worth a second look.

My point exactly.

Keep the small size, add waterproofing, a larger sensor, some whistles and bells, live view' that works with a twist and turn screen and watch Canony panic.

Pentax need to be innovative to survive.

To follow John's comment, would the 'small' following of a square sensor make it worth while.

I doubt it.

Manufacturers need to get away from 'this is how we've always done it' attitudes and start thinking about how to do it better with modern materials.

I know I'd like a metal body on on my camera, in fact my much missed Optio 550 had one. But I don't want a brick that needs a harness to carry!

Pentax could, and should look at cutting the size of their DSLR's, then utilising a larger count sensor and make it appeal to canikony users.

They're going the right way with the K-m.

Just a thought. For a cheap older model Optio check Here out.

That's where mine came from and it is Pentax's own outlet.

Good hunting.

That's the one for me too Kris.

It's not the flash that gets me, it's the laser trigger for the flash!!!

Same here.

Most of the time I just crop for a better composition.

Nice shots Stefan, the white background is a bit bright for me, but it's nice to see something different.

15meg, 3 live view modes, video, but no in body stabilisation.

Or did I miss that?:

I still feel a DSLR is for photography but when this sort of halfbreed is being dumped on the market as a BEGINNERS!!! camera...
