My resident retail expert says cash makes no difference but is more difficult for refunds. Don't forget there is some buyer protection if you use a credit card for an item more than£100.00

The K-5 won't be around for very much longer, having been superceded with the K-5 II. If you wait, there will be no offer on the K-5!

It does depend very much on the lens in question. Better lenses may not be what we expect as we are well outside what any of them were designed for.

Fun though finding out.

The cameras tend to be natural to use in that way after a short while. It has advantages and disadvantages, like everything else in life.

Using the screen is great for low level shots, close-up tripod-mounted shots and shots in low light. Not so good for action and use in glaring sunlight.

That's very hopeful, and might well be better than a compact on a spotting scope.

Love that all black version. It does look as though there's intended to be a hotshoe on top, but maybe not and I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Nice preview.

The standard lens is the 35mm f/2.4, which is both inexpensive and excellent. There are lots of variations possible, 50mm being popular but actually a short telephoto. 40mm is of course also either a long standard or short telephoto, depending on your point of view.

In 40mm lenses, the new XS lens is actually reputed to be top quality, on a par with the Limited version but plastic of course. There's nothing wrong with plastic...if it's the right sort of plastic.

In a wedding situation, where the degree of pressure will be high, having two identical cameras will be much better than two different ones.

In a general sense, if you have two different cameras, every time you take them out there will be a tussle going on in your mind as to which to use. You will most likely prefer one to the other, and then be unhappy that you have another, defunct, little-used camera.

My feeling would be to save a lot of heartache and have two camera bodies exactly the same.

It would do very well inside the dishwasher, on a cold water-only cycle of course:

The W90 was followed by the WG-1 and now the WG-2. At under £130 that sounds like a bargain to me.
