Hi John,
Yeh Peter Jones is still here in Stafford. I had my K10D off them. I don't know wether he was just trying to get rid of it but he changed my mind from buying a Nikon D80. Still not sure if it was the right choice though.
He used my K20 while one of his new Nikons had to go back for repair, he was very impressed.
So the grass is not greener on the other side

Once upon a time Jessops were good, you could buy anything and from knowledgeable people, now it gets up my nose, they tell customers “This is the best one for you” without any idea of what the person wants, and this is the way many high street stores are going and it B***Y annoys me.
The bosses make a quick profit, customers are ripped off, but more wiser and then wont use Jessops.
Hence the huge losses they have made for the last 2 years.
I say just use good shops like SRS and Pentax will be around for a very long time.

Geotagging wont interest me its bad enough with "sat nav" taking me round in circles.
Geotagging sorts that problem, if it's implemented properly.

My old Epson Stylus Photo 870 has developed an incurable smear syndrome, so I have an Epson Stylus Photo R800 on order. Maybe next weekend I am able to report back on it's qualities.

Just look at the running costs, etc.
I have 3 printers all Epson the A3 is the R1400, exellent for A3 colour, an A4 R285 Cheap as chips to run and quality prints and an all in one for general copying etc.
But if you want to print "black&white" and money no object then you will have to buy the "topend" of any make ie; the ones with up to 3 blacks.

Built-in geotagging & WIFI in an optional grip (these functions to be powered by an additional, but small, battery), higher frame rate, Nikon style creative flash control.
FF? Not for me. keep the same sensor and PRIME engine, just improve everything else.
Oh, and get rid of live view. P&S cameras might need it, DSLRs don't.
Apart from that I agree, FF, not for me, Extra weight and the lens length

Jessops are the biggest bunch of lying ba...
The article in this weeks AP seems to blame Pentax for not having 'attractive' cameras!!!!
Compared to big c's they're streets ahead.
I'd ignore the salesman, who probably is only spouting his managements propaganda, and go to a real shop for proper advice.
Rant over, sorry.
It's definitely not selling quality.
