Ahh ok thanks for the information, my old olympus is not an SLR, back then when i got my Olympus good DSLR's was about £1000 upto £2000 to buy so i had to settle for the C2020-Z which was nearly £600 back then...

i also prefer the optical viewfinder, but the LCD screen was helpful on some occasions .. but i can live without

Hi everyone, my name is Leon .. i am a new member to this club

I have one question, is it possible to use the LCD on the K100D as a viewfinder? i know on my old Olympus i can do this but i can not work out how on my Pentax and thinking that it is not possible?

I prefer a normal viewfinder anyway for several reasons that i am sure you all know... but there was times on my Olympus where being able to use the LCD as a viewfinder was very helpful, like when doing a low level shot and not being able to place your eye against the camera.... although the preview shot on the k100d is a work around for this i would prefer to use the LCD

Is there an option somewhere i am missing?

Thanks

thanks for the replys .. i do not think the cheque has been cashed in .. but i recieved a letter from pentax trying to get me to take out insurance so i know they must have recieved it because they know my address.. just weird why they taking so long to cash it in .. i wish i subscribed online now i want my magazine...
