It looks like updates will be offered at the same site, but it still seems to be a work in progress.

It doesn't generally move though and it can be set by feel. I wouldn't want to have to go into a menu when I can have a dedicated switch. It would seem a step backwards.

Can't argue with that, it's good.

Have you caught up with the GR micro-site? You'll find it here: http://gr.pentax.eu/en/index.html

You're right about the performance, but what a lot of faffing about to fir the lens in the first place. The plastic ring when removed from the GR is also a bit vulnerable to being lost/damaged.

It's not the elegant design that we're used to from Pentax, but it does make up for it in terms of performance, as your pictures show.

lack of quickshift does though, but what can you do.
Buy a Pentax version?

Quit it please guys, it's only a discussion about the possibilities of the new Pentax camera.

Please get the sense of proportion back.

You will quite likely find there are some menu options that are not available in P, whereas they will be in Av.

Time Lapse is what it says, pictures taken after a lapse of time. Usually this means something like a flower opening, so even 99 shots would be more than enough.

Shooting 3000 frames at 25 frames a second is a movie, which is quite different, and there is a movie mode anyway.

Does anybody actually want to shoot 3000 frames in Time Lapse?

Let's look at this more simply. If you want to e-mail an image, then resizing to EPZ e2 spec seems about right, maintaining quality when viewed on screen, but with modest file sizes.

Resize to 1000 pixels on the longest edge, 72ppi and a file size of no more than 400K.

I think it was the saving to quality level 12 that scuppered you, normally a file such as I describe might be quality level 9 upwards, keeping an eye on the file size at each setting.
