Larger files, more post processing needed, many in-camera adjustments only available when shooting JPEG.

There's considerable pressure in the media generally to shoot RAW, but unless we know why we're doing it and need to for our images, then there's an equally valid argument for shooting JPEG.

Pentax cameras produce very good JPEG output, this is not necessarily true of all other marques.

Now on eBay, but still available here until the first bid is in.

Use the fisheye zoom and make it truly wild?

S100-200 is the correct case.

I think it depends on your final use.

If your main use is web and prints up to A3 with not much cropping, then the K-5 variants offer superb performance already. This is why we still have our K-5 bodies and will only upgrade when some failure forces itself upon us.

If you crop a good deal and still need A3 or larger prints, or even for web if you want to do severe cropping, then the K-3 offers more resolution. It also offers faster AF if that is an issue.

I would be happy with any Pentax DSLR from the K-5 onwards as a new purchase. In fact, we still happily use a K20D for studio work.

I'll be putting this on eBay tonight.

I would look at the K-5 II or IIs as being a worthwhile upgrade, identical in operation to his K-7 and rather less expensive than a K-3.

Sent, tracking number advised.

Packaged and ready for despatch.

No apathy here, but I don't tend to comment in any detail until I've seen and handled new cameras.

The aesthetics can be judged though, and I still have the thought that there's perhaps something clever and multi-purpose about the design. That may be way off the mark of course, but we'll see.
