I had my first encounter with heavy rain at the end of August.
I was outside in it for 3 hours.
I kept wiping my K10 down with a towel, but I was more concerned about my smc 100-300 not being up to it.
My friend had a new D700 and cut off a leg from some cheap waterproof trousers to cover his camera.
You can see his lens pop in to view on the right to ruin my pic...bugger.

This is a supposed entry level DSLR.
I think it's great what Pentax has packed into such a small body.
It could be, that in Japan at least, the K-m was really targeted at Mum's and a younger crowd.
Not the same market as the K-7, who might feel at home trekking up a mountain in sometimes harsh conditions.
The K-m, and now K-x, is more your walk-around-town kind of camera; good for holidays.
Sacrificing WR seals isn't a big deal on the K-x.

Bit harsh to call it a "make or break" camera.

I think it will sell in good numbers.

Thanks again, John and Dan.

I have a lot to choose from now, and I will take on board all the recommendations.

Thanks John.
I'll search it.

Matt, that's great!
I can use paypal, too.

Thanks a lot mate.

Thanks for the comments chaps.

@hefty1
I'm in Tokyo now, and I sent my Uncle some pics that I had taken.
He's in England and is an avid film camera enthusiast.
He hasn't gone digital, and probaly won't...
Anyway, he expressed some interest in a couple of pics of mine and wondered if I could get a slide/negative so he develop them.
Hence my curiosity.

Evening all.

It might be a bit of an odd question, but is it possible to make a slide or negative from a digital pic?

Thanks in advance.

Hobby.
Not sure how to elaborate on that, a bit of everything.

Travel and stock photos.

Would like to get into photojournalism and macro.

Great thread guys.
A friend of mine just bought an old Monolta SRT101 and after having a go, it really got me wanting to pick up an old film camera.

I'm now on the lookout for a cheapish Pentax body.

I've been considering this lens for a while as an inconspicuous zoom for candid photography round town.
The length probably isn't enough for wildlife and the like, but I like candids.
For range, I am using a Pentax smc FA 100-300mm f/4.7-5.8, butwith it being silver, it stands out in a busy street for candids.

Might even consider the weather sealed version.
