A camera can help to inspire. If you love the handling and the results you're bound to feel more like using it.

Sadly I'm still stuck with the K-5 and good as it is I would like to "accidentally" order a couple of K-3 bodies. Unfortunately that would be stretching things at this moment.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned so far is that increased resolution needs improved technique to get the best out of it. Otherwise much of the advantage can be negated.

I wouldn't presume to suggest such a thing Steve, but when they do someone sometimes finds the image elsewhere and sends us a little note about it.

It's a bit odd really, I never feel the urge to post Pentax pictures on a Canon site. What's the point?

I've shot a lot of images now with cameras that have no AA filter and it really is not a problem.

The K-3 solves the dilemma all in one model, this saving the need for endless discussions about which model to buy.

I would leave the AA simulator switched off, but I guess some would leave it switched on. For those who choose to activate it the dilemma will be Type 1 or Type 2....

Using Save For Web will generally strip out the EXIF data. I tend to use Save As for this very reason.

Sometimes people remove the EXIF data, for unknown reasons.

I do shoot birds and the success rate is improving all the time. Part of it though is surely gaining knowledge about the bird and its behavioural patterns? Birds and animals do follow a pattern of behaviour, as do humans, and this can be predicted with some success.

Regardless of AF, bird photography is very challenging and it's something Sue and I are both working on when we get the opportunity.

The lenses used can be surprising as well. I know a Kingfisher photographer who uses a 100mm lens for his shots, from a hide just a few feet away from the branch that the birds return to time and again. Brilliant stuff, but more about knowledge than cameras and lenses.

We always seem to miss these events, not much time available and when it is available they are generally not on. One of these days. When I do finally get there, somewhere, we'll see how it goes!

I lost the will to live about 60 seconds in Jules, so didn't make it I'm afraid.

Stationary buildings indeed Chris, you don't realise how fast buildings move around here. Or that might be camera shake?

The guy wasn't aiming at anything specialised though was he? He was enthused and there's nothing wrong with being enthused. Looking at his images the camera performed well for what he took.

No doubt he could have taken things to a sports event but that depends on what's going on when we have the camera.

I was chasing after having some light, never mind sports shots. Fortunately the weather was relatively kind to me, even though the hours ay have been short. You can have a go at my efforts quite soon. They have to prise the camera back from my locked fingers yet....

He talked sense and had enthusiasm Chris, without any silly antics and time wasting.

Blunty seems a bit of a personality, but no worse than anyone else with a strong personality. He's keen.
