They put an apology of Facebook and said they were trying to sort it out.

And the advantage of that is?
The same advantage that there was to the Auto 110 having interchangeable lenses, or a modern DSLR having interchangeable lenses. Versatility. The ability to stretch ones repertoire. The ability to tackle subjects that a copactr camera has not been able to do before.

In view of the video capability there may be some potential there for those who shoot video.

Interchangeable lenses for one thing.

Apart from the titillation, what is the point of this photo?
There is no titillation in this photo. This is purely Becky having a moment of playful joy with some scaffolding. She does pole dancing as a sport and it was only natural to express herself in this way as this suitable pole presented itself.

Bridge cameras in the Pentax stable are the X70 and the X90, which is an improved version. I use an X90 for my eBay pictures and the results are excellent. I use ISO200 and this gives me a high quality result.

The lens is versatile but always will be slow to focus compared to a DSLR. These are not action cameras, despite a huge 35mm-equivalent lens of something like 26-676mm, which gives the promise of a huge reach. Not for wildlife, it's far too slow.

As a studio camera it's ideal.

I haven't felt any need to go abouve ISI3200, so I can't say i've noticed anything. The K-5 I tested for EPZ had no banding issues.

I'm moving this to General Chat as it's clearly not a troubleshooter query.

Have to Shaky? That's a new one on me. Save As keeps the EXIF data. Save For Web doesn't, but it does have other conveniences.

No problem, but bear in mind that some items cause more problems that others. One of Comet's problems is the amount of white goods in warehouse. Nobody want to buy a freezer unless they have to, for example.

People do want technology that appeals. The iPhone and iPad are two examples of products that hit the mark. Who has thought they'd love an iPad, even though they couldn't really think they actually needed what it does?

Desire is the thing. What we desire we will buy first.

Sorry Simon, that I don't know. Perhaps Chris at SRS would try one for you and let you know?
