I haven't noticed any significant difference, so we'll have to let those who think there is explain!

K-5 batteries have silver coloured contacts. My K-5 batteries are Made in Japan and some have codes on and some don't. All were bought from SRS or came with the camera.

K10D and previous had CCD sensors, all subsequent models are CMOS. So the difference, if any, is becoming rather irrelevant in DSLRs as the quality of current cameras outstrips the earlier models regardless.

Hardly the same thing and hardly as critical.

As for sensors, I have never laid anything on my sensors and have only ever used the camera's own sensor cleaning, plus rarely a carefully used rocket blower.

I don't feel I want to use something on my sensor that I need to be lucky or not so lucky with - it's too essential in the quality chain. I totally agree with Ken.

He probably meant 10 by 15 inches, just a slip of the keyboard.

They could sell us an 80-400mm lens.

The right hand panel shows "highlights" from the site, plus the latest articles and reviews. There are a few adverts as well, but sometimes these can be quite relevant. I didn't realise you were blocking all that, but of course that's a personal choice.

Many thanks for the mention anyway, but I wasn't going to particularly promote it on here, leaving that for my blog and for elsewhwere. There's quite a lot of stuff on Facebook and Twitter as well as EPZ.
