They were treating each colour separately, so if you added them all together.....

Hmm, I'm not convinced by those.

Copared to a DSLR, where is the advantage? You still have a bulky package, weight being another factor, that won't fit in a pocket and therefore will need a case just as before.

If you're carrying a case then you might as well put a K-x in it and keep the advantage of a crystal clear optical viewfinder system. The EVF still has a long way to go before it's as good as a Pentaprism or Pentamirror viewfinder.

Ah, you guys have given away a good idea there!

I've corrected the title.

I too am unclear what is being argued. Against a backdrop of Pentax DSLR sales having "increased sharply" and having moved into healthy profit, the argument seems to be for healthy growth through 2010.

Add a model or two to the range and the possibilities will increase, but all the K-x colours may well have helped for now.

ISO, you've jumped ahead! I was going to ask later who was going to admit to any of these!

First of all I think you need to ditch all the camera except the digital SLR. There is no way you will survive the mayhem of a wedding with all that lot to contend with.

Look for a book on wedding photography, learn how to use fill in flash outdoors (not bounce flash, no ceilings outdoors!) and then practice controlling groups of people who are there to chat, drink and be merry....

Long way to go yet I think, but it sounds like you have the basic skills and just need to adapt them to the requirements of a wedding.

The FA-J lenses were much later, introduced for the *ist, but the principle is right.

Thread edited to remove links, just to avoid any misunderstanding. Thanks for the PM Grisha, hope the revised thread makes things clearer.
