Huh? Really, you don't trust it at all? Don't you feel its a bit wasted then?
Wasted?

No not really, my istD, K10, K7 and K5 may be classed as wasted at the moment as I left them in the UK along with all of the Pentax film cameras except the MZ-S which I brought here to use.

I have never had my "other" kit freeze on me.

That’s just the way it is at the moment. The battery in the grip and camera were fully charged and I was only into the first dozen or so shots at a Sunday Times fashion shoot.

At the start I was quite happy to give the K3 a good work out throughout the event. Once it froze, I dropped out/re-fitted the batteries and it was OK. That, at that point didn’t matter; it went into a bag and stayed there.

It has never frozen since but it’s a case of why even risk it when the other kit does the job without issue.

Best regards

Are any brands doing in body stabilisation of a full frame sensor?

If this was bought to market, surely that would be a major first?
Yes, Sony. Beginning way back in 2008 with the A900 then the A850 and presently the A99.

Long glass on the Q is a tad difficult to keep stable.....

B&H have yet to get it wrong when they list something as discontinued.

The K5 II went off the listing quite quickly.

The K5 IIs is now GBP485 here and thats from the main importer.

No debate. Some people have them some people don't.
