That's a bargain by the looks of it, although the picture of the camera is weird and distorted.

If you're lucky that might put people off long enough for you to snatch it up.

I would give them a ring and see what they say.

Excellent composition and sharpness, but I'm less happy about the intensity of the colour. It seems a little strong and this has made the greens in the background a bit overpowering.

You have certainly pulled those tiny birds in and up close though.

A capable photographer as well, very well done.

The X70 and X90 were excellent bridge cameras. Although now discontinued, you might well find some second hand examples.

An alternative might be the diminutive and excellent Pentax Q, perhaps in the two lens kit that includes an 8.5mm f1.9 standatd prime plus a 5-15mm standard zoom.

That last shot is particularly good, excellent control of the whites.

There hasn't been much bile from the intended markets though, where the appeal appears to be very strong.

Once we actually get down to using these cameras, they are actually pretty good. They might well soften up the market for others that follow, hopefully more Pentax ones but also no doubt other marques as well.

We have a total of five K-5 batteries and just two of them have similar codes to the one you picture.

I have no idea what the significance of that is, apart from us having two K-5 cameras, so maybe they were the originals that came with the camera.

In any event all the batteries were proper Pentax ones sourced via SRS, so I don't suspect anything untoward.

Surely it's only measured when you go in? Carry the hood separately and no-one should notice or care.
