Does seem somewhat erroneous from an informed commentator. Surely if you conducted a pole herein asking people if the light was available would they shoot at 100 or 200 the vast majority would say 100.....

Therein

"we are using 200 here because thats the native ISO of a CMOS sensor"

"that means you are going to capture more highlight detail than at a 100 ISO"

"common misconception that the lowest ISO is always the best"

Oops I've been labouring under the delusion that the lowest ISO is the "best"

Is this guy right, have I been abusing my K30?

Thanks Gents.

This one seems amazing value on offer:

The Giotto one on Jessops looks good too Matty.

Me Foto a bit short for me I think..........

Glad I asked thanks for the help.

Will see

Thanks Aleks I guess £50 - £125, not sure what extra I'll get between these two figures.

Looking for lightweight, reasonably sturdy for occasional use and no second mortgage. Advice appreciated, thanks.

The K3 looks fabulous.

Does it mean I'm going to have to wait longer for a Pentax FF?

Thanks Jules and Rob that's a great help.

Weather forecast not looking too great at the mo but there's time enough for that to change yet.

Will try and get something worth posting!

Thanks again gents.

Going to the Shuttleworth Collection Flying day on 1st Sept with my new (off the classifieds herein) 55-300 DA.

Anyone got any tips on shutter speeds for propellers? I guess they freeze at 1/500 and there must be a tradeoff with clarity of the airframe through the air if slower (Although I know the planes I'm going to see are not that fast )?

Thanks

No problems with focussing on the K30 here. Set the AF area to pinpoint expanded haven't used it enough on any other setting to say if thats making a difference, it just seems OK with the little use its had on that setting.

Does seem to cycle when I'm pointing at a high aircraft but as others have said in other posts on this subject using the focus ring to get it nearly there seems to stop that. Seems like a good enough reason to get the DA to me.

Anyone feel the same as me; there are times when I don't want the neck/shoulder strap both for comfort and shooting low/high/angle convenience?

Seen vid on the net where people are strapless ie totally handheld but thats a step too far for me.

Any recommendations for a wrist strap arrangement where the DSLR is held in the shooting (assuming you are R Handed and the left supports) hand and the strap has a safety/no drop/control function?

Thanks
