You upload to the gallery and just click the box that says competition. It then becomes invisible until after the competition end.

It's never been on the competition page.

So, long sighted? In that case, a traditional DSLR design seems the best option perhaps? Then the Dioptre adjustment can take care of the problem.

I recall my Dad used to have terrible problems with his cameras and glasses, all types unfortunately.

As for compacts, it's reading glasses or nothing with a back screen. I take the point, but so few cameras have a direct vision viewfinder and those that do have a very high price tag.

Absolutely nothing to do with glasses, which I've worn from a very early age. As it happens I'm very short sighted, which is of course brilliant for looking at a 3" screen.

Quite a few compacts have built in ND filters - probably because the smallest aperture is only f/8.

It makes a great cover!

Well done. How are they going to use it - is it within a box on the page? Horizontal images don't often make it to covers unless the cover format allows for it.

It also sounds a bit mischievous - if there's an embargo on the information then nothing should be said at all.

I used to hate the viewfinders in "compact" 35mm cameras, so it beats me why anyone would want one.

We didn't hanker after a viewfinder with a Rollei TLR, which had a screen that you viewed at waist level. The new electronic screens are brighter and better than the Rollei.

But it's not a "habit" - it's a very efficient way to work. Habit implies an unthinking response of little value, which wouldn't be right.

Both would be an excellent purchase, but as the K-5 is a higher spec of body, more rugged as well, at the current price it's a real bargain.
