So what happened to the storm? It's been blue skies and gentle breezes here.

Same here. It was much windier yesterday.

That's the favoured camera of Skoda owners.

Sorry I have this lens with Canon mount, but some of the sigmas work on Pentax and Canon. Is it possible that my old Sigma(canon mount)will work with K-5?

Not unless it is a changeable mount one such as the old T2 series where you could swap the mount over. (I'm Not sure Sigma made those in any event.) A Canon mount is totally different and simply wouldn't fit a Pentax as I'm sure you are already aware if you've tried.

Nope, I don't and photographing kids generally in the UK nowadays tends to be a rather sensitive issue. (Goodness knows why!)

Can anyone explain to me how a photographer can take a shot of a living, breathing dog, swap cameras and then take another from exactly the same location, without the dog having moved a hair?

Thoughts? Is this a spoof?

Andrew

The viewpoints are very slightly different - guess both shots were taken side by side simultaneously.

The camera is giving you the monochrome jpeg you requested. Having the raw file as well allows you to produce a colour version later if you subsequently change your mind and regret only having the mono version. Best of both worlds!

Resizing is an absolute cinch in Irfanview.

- and it's free!

Lot simpler than resizing in Photoshop - just specify the length and it works out the width and will automatically sharpen the image if you wish (just tick the box!)

Amazon seem to be using an alternative carrier now. Just had a K-01 from them delivered by Hermes. Service wasn't bad either; despatched Sunday mid-day and received 9.30am Monday morning.

New cameras do not have the battery installed in any event. The link referred to states

Quote:
Lithium ion/polymer/metal/alloy batteries are allowed when sent with or contained in/connected to an electronic device, but are subject to packaging, volume and quantity restrictions. Please see www.royalmail.com/restrictedgoods.

That indicates batteries can be packed separately in the package but not sent in isolation.
