The K-S2 with 40mm would be very nice. Superb image quality, very light and compact, a great price....and a superb viewfinder that IMHO knocks rangefinder designs for six.

For those who prefer a rangefinder style then the choice is there, but not with Pentax.

The report system is there under report a problem, see the bottom of every page. However, we do spot spam when we log on, so generally reporting is isn't necessary.

I understand your good intentions, it just gives a second airing to the link that could be missed because it#s your post and not a spammer's post.

Not much of a cover really. There are Fuji forums where you'll get a more meaningful response, especially on Facebook. You'll find the people there friendly and helpful and they might well be able to make the comparison you seek.

However, the best way may be to buy from Amazon, try and return if unhappy, within their timescale of course, or take a card to a shop and ask to shoot some sample shots from the doorway so you can take them home and assess for yourself.

Hope that helps!

Just a reminder please not to quote spam. It means the spam and the post quoting it then both need to be spotted and deleted.

Many thanks!

That I would love to try!

I presume it's a long focus lens, not as short as a telephoto design. That in itself isn't a bad thing, but I've looked at these and my expectation is that they would be cheap and cheerful. Colour fringing might be the worst of it, plus very slow manual focusing.

WWT sell very nice baseball caps - never go bird shooting without it!

That's true 50mpCMOS, but to be fair negatives can survive the most appalling conditions and still survive over 100 years. Some survive intact, some need restoration, but they do survive in a usable state.

The pixel shift idea is really interesting. I'll be looking forward to trying that out and seeing what the effect and the benefit is.

I never use the built in flash on DSLRs, so it wouldn't really matter to do without it. Probably many people do though, so that looks like it leaves the K-3 II as a variant, rather like the K-5 IIs was.
