With respect, this is all over complication. If you set the camera to sRGB then also set Photoshop to the same. If you set the camera to AdobeRGB then also make sure Photoshop is the same.

The simple way to make sure you are getting the result you want is to try both and see what happens.

The biggest difference between really old DSLRs like the *istD and current models is that we immediately see the tiny screen and then experience how sloe they are to function. However, they are still nice cameras and can produce lovely images.

I hope your *istD has a very happy birthday!

If you use AdobeRGB throughout, be careful to change it to sRGB for web or colours can look very washed out. Even prints can be livened up by using sRGB.

Excellent well done Barrie! I'll go and have a look at that as I expect to be in the area in the near future, certainly before it ends on 31st August.

All the Pentax 50mm lenses are of good quality, but as John says, the 43mm has a certain something about it.

Lenses have a character as well as the bald resolution figures, and the 43mm has a very desirable character.

Mike, I have an Olympus branded one that you can have for free. If you want it, PM me your address and I'll pop it in the post.

You're right John, it's all relative.

The K-3 II is already a great camera, and could be ideal for you as it is. Pixel shift is an interesting feature, but hardly for everyday use?

If you wait it will probably cost you more.

Crop mode on the K-1 gives us a 15 MP image, whereas the K-3 and K-3 II will give us 24 MP. I'm of the opinion that if APS-C is needed, then an APS-C body will be a better bet.
