That's quite an essential bit, so why not phone round the repair houses to see if anyone has the part you need?

I would start with Asahi Photo and Harrow Technical.

It's a process that us photographers never grow out of...so keep agonising and enjoy it!

Of course as soon as you sell something there's the every present danger of wishing you still had it....

This has been posted a couple of times already, but it is impressive.

I wouldn't do it by choice, but it's good to know that I might get away with it.

So I'm thinking that most serious photographers would stick with a DSLR
For the forseeable future, I think that's right.

I really hope they continue the excellent lens compatability feature and keep a KAF2 mount for the system
CSC cameras will therefore have to be the size of the K-01. The advantage you have highlighted. However, this may not be a problem, because by the time you add a lens to one of the super-thin CSCs....you end up with something too big for a pocket anyway.

Or you buy a Q.

No, not at all. It does however depend on how long you leave the battery out.

A spare battery is always a good idea, to keep rotating them, and you'll never have "down time" then.

You could also check that when you set the date and time you actually finish the process properly by saving the changes - this is one thing that is easily missed in the Pentax menu system. If you don't do this it will mean every time you switch the camera off you will need to reset date and time, so it is easily spotted.

how to get the skies more blue
Pentax Colour tends to be quite realistic and some other marques over-exaggerate, so you may need to set your camera to Vivid to get what you want. However, this only applies to JPEG capture, so it might be an idea to give JPEG a try with all picture styles to see what suits.
