Thought about that but I was soo lucky I got one of the forst socket 1155 motherboards from Gigabyte, which unfortunately has malfunctioning SATA ports! Apparantly for thiss model they all do, so they want me to send it back which would be fine if for the fact that'll leave me with nothing to hang all the bits off! It's been nowt but trouble from day one and it's slowing to a crawl now, so it will ahve to go, I'll get the new board stick it all back together and flog it, since then it'll all work fine...

You mean SSD?

Sellin them to me is a very tough call for them at the moment, I'm broke!
Any decrease is welcome in my Camp at this time, I plan to stay with pentax and reckon on a Body and a couple of Lenses in the next eighteen months. If they can't manage a 120-370ish (Al a Roadmap)zoom in that time I'll just get another 300 F4 and hopefully the K5 replacement but it won't be at it's initial selling price I very much doubt...

Oh and come to think of it,a new P.C. has to come first, my eighteen month old one is already a shed!

Your'e right, I go Commando!
Too much information???

I know it says Special offer on some of em,
just SRS buying power...?

He He, I don't anymore either Matt, using exactly your setup but an awful lot of my fellow landscapers do, and frown upon me for saying I don't need em, then tell me I can't be taking it seriously!

Got to read the thread though!
I was recently caught out the same way by a friend who shoots a D300s, showing me some lovely prints that were shot on a... iPhone 4!
I just couldn't fault them!
These are perhaps not the worlds best photogaphy but the Q is a capable little beast and thats for sure...

Had to look that one up Smeggy!
DXO Some shout about it, some at it...
A double (entendre) edged sword...

Not a measurebater I'd far rather just take piccies but even given DXO's flaws,I'll offer this as a graphical representation, my own in the field findings would tend to support this too...
Look under dynamic range and you'll see it's best at ISO 80,
Amongsst other stuff...

P.S. Don't shoot the messenger for mentioning DXO.

Had the whole week off and in that time these are the only useable shots I got, 6 days in the Lakes getting soaked
SNAFU...
