It's because the limit is 800 pixels on the longest side Algi. So your images were probably too tall.

I'm curious as to why you find APS-C any more temporary than all the smaller sensors that also exist? If you apply the same logic to 4/3 and APS-C why not conclude equally well that all 4/3 sensors will be phased out in favour of APS-C?

We always buy off the shelf, whatever is current technology with possibly a different video card and more RAM added before delivery. Our local computer shop deals with it all at an incredibly low price, so we concentrate on photography and let him concentrate on computer hardware.

Now, if someone finds playing with the hardware interesting or fun, then that's fine too!

What sort of price are we looking at for cleaning fungus out of a lens?

The new issue of AP dropped through my letterbox today and includes an interesting test report. They looked at the K-5 IIs and Fuji XPro1 (both with no AA filter) and the Nikon D600 (FF but with AA filter) to see where the current sensor performances lie compared to each other.

The differences between all three in terms of detail resolution are very slight indeed. The differences in noise levels give a small advantage to the K-5 IIs. (There is the usual "Pentax colour" that I like so much evident in the slightly warmer look, although that isn't really part of their comments and depends also on the photomechanical reproduction.)

It's interesting reading and it shows that publications are, like EPZ, having a go at looking at these things.

I certainly ditched the straps on the compact cameras - the Q and the W90 - they really got in the way.

I use the orinal strap on the K-5 and don't find it much of a burden. The wider replacement straps would be too much though I think.

The first shot looks a bit bland to me, probably because of the very flat lighting. The second has lots of drama and evokes something of the character of your sitter. This one definitely hits the spot.

That's true Steve.

There is a Monochrome digital filter. Have a look at the PU/EPZ reviews and there are shots with all the digital filters for each and every model.

I was so bored by his style that I only watched a minute or so.

"Get on with it!" seems like an appropriate comment, we're too busy for his waffling.
