It was borne out by the GX20/K20D options. The Pentax K20D has retained its value much better than the Samsung, even though it's the same thing under a different shell. Therefore, when upgraded, the Pentax version has proven to be better value, as it is perceived to be more desirable.

That is pretty much what I'd expect David, so glad it's helped.

Actually all spaces should be the same. Yes, the gamut of sRGB is more limited, but it's as much as a monitor or projector can display and as much as most printers can represenr.

For the purposes of Powerpoint then images of a modest 1000 pixels on the longest side will be quite big enough.

There are some quite cheap 35mm slide scanners on the market for £60 - £100 that will do the job well enough for this. Look on eBay and you'll find lots of similar scanners under different names. They do 110 and 35mm film and the better model has a small flip up LCD screen as well.

We can't even manage 1cm of snow here. All roads clear, temperature 1.5C.

I couldn't stand the music I'm afraid, all that whooshing in and out was a bit annoying....it dominates the images. So I'm not sure why you're fed up! I'll try again later with the sound muted.

Unlike digital bodies, film bodies have no impact on the quality that you can obtain. Assuming they are in good order, that is. The quality depnds solely on your skills and the quality of the film and lens used.

So, whichever body fits is the one that's best. "Best" can mean many different things, so although the OP suggests the LX and MZ-S are the best, they are not the best if tyou want something small and light. Then the ME Super might be the best. Ando so on.

My favourite is the MX.

Are we talking about the 42mm screw thread versions of these?

Plus of course all the websites of the individual manufacturers. Such as http://www.pentax.co.uk/
