That really is an atrocious review, if you can even call it a review. Very thin on Pentax relevance as well. We wait over 12 minutes for one Pentax relevant quote - the 67 gives better image quality than the Hasselblad.

I've just watched it and hope I've saved you 14 pretty dire minutes!

It should focus to infinity with no problems, so it may well have been messed with.

It is indeed Vista 32 bit and now we use Windows 7 64 bit. So yet more good information, many thanks.

On the way back from dropping off Granddaughter #2, I paused to take a few shots at Dam House in Astley. All with Q with 5-15mm, and on a firm tripod.

Excellent, moody shot with great colours.

To be fair, looking at the design of the CF card we could surmise that pins will get bent.

With the SD card, the weak point is the lock switch. These can and do get bent so they fracture.

High Voltages + Water = Disaster.

How about an insurance claim?

My family is armed with Pentax DSLRs (and some with Canon and Nikon too) so I don't think they would be pleased with a cheap zoom compact!

Actually, if you want the family to get the bug and join in with you, the Q seems like a pretty good idea. Plus when they decide they want a DSLR you'll be able to quietly inherit the Q.....
