I am writing this because I have noticed, we are getting far to many “doom and gloom”merchants throwing their arms in the air, and generally moaning about Pentax gear.
As Pentax users (well most of us:wink we should be pleased that Hoya /Pentax have invested a hell of a lot of money, to bring new kit for us to use and enjoy.
Just think of the new lenses developed and cameras e.g. the X70 a very good “Bridge” camera the KM for those that want a quality starter or The K20, (mines over a year old now but still going strong) and now the K7 and that has raised a few eyebrows in other make forums.
Pentax are alive and “kicking ass” as our friends across the pond say.
And if Mr Brown wants to raise my pension? Because I want a K7 very much.
And as we are voting soon, any one who is out for my vote, I could be bribed for my vote, well we know what you are like with “Expenses” don't we.
I say well done Pentax keep them coming.

I told him about SRS and he asked where the nearest shop was. I explained that they were on the internet or "down south" and he said he doesn't trust internet shops! I did try.
Jessops also sells over the internet so how is SRS different in that?

OOh, Dutch coffee just how I like strong dark and sweet
I liked the Irish one though, The only problem is that I only drink it when going out since I can't find Irish coffee beans anywhere

That's the stuff they call “Potcheen” made with a very special Irish “bean”.
Even stronger than the Dutch coffee.
And there is no tax on it,unless they get caught

Well you may be looking at one soon with the rumoured D400 coming.
Mind the fun we have on this forum is good for a laugh.

Oops sorry Richard, I'll tone down my enthusiasm a notch

Interesting to hear though that it supports contrast based autofocus in HD video mode. I seem to remember somebody posted that autofocus wasn't possible during video capture?
I'm only jealous Huw, I know you sold all that Oly stuff, I see you are spending it wisely, a brand new K7, sigh .
When you get it perhaps you could do a review on it, just to get my juices running.
Then I may bite the bullet and spend loads of dosh on it myself

You can use an SD Card in a camera that takes CF if you use an adapter.

I will let the new owner do that, I rather think CF cards are on the way out just like tape storage, good but to big for modern kit.

I was told this morning that the street price for body and lens is going to be £1199.99. That's from a dealer who is considering dropping Pentax stock because of the price rises at the end of this month.

As a side he said that Olympus, panasonic and Samsung prices were staying mostly untouched!

Oly E520 any one?
Not for me, just sold one, Oly lens prices are very very expensive,they are good but very limited in range.
