So, no, I don't think there is an exact product on the market like it, not unless you go up a good deal in budget.

Which is?

The daft thing is they dont mention the one thing I would find quite handy on the D5000 which is the tiltable liveview screen.

I don't think I've ever seen a brand quite so defended as Pentax!!
Probably because I have never seen a brand knocked as much as Pentax.

Personally, I think the 'half a step behind' comment is a fair one.

Name me a present camera body that has:

5.2fps or more
Inbody SR
full weather sealing of body and lenses
HD Video

Never mind all the other bits and bobs ... is there one?
So exactly half a step behind what?


They headline it as a semi-pro body then compare it against a Nikon D5000.

Half a step spec wise behind what? A nikon D5000?
I don't think so.

It's very difficult to say how good the quality is as I just haven't used any recent camcorders, the one we have is around 5 years old and has hardly ever been used
I have been quite interested in the video side of this new camera and have thought of various times I would use it and how handy it would be.
Then you posted this sentence and I realise I have exactly the same thing under the bed .. a camcorder that has been there for years with maybe 30 mins use in total.

Is your Sigma focusing faster?

£150 to Italy with shipping is a fair price if it is indeed in mint condition. It is a fantastic lens and the image quality is superior to the Pentax macro lenses imo (not something I can normally say).
The Kiron 105mm/Vivitar 105mm Series 1 lenses are probably worth a little more as they are better known.

A few pics taken with mine.

I paid £75 for mine off Ebay but it was hidden in a box of other lenses (I noticed it in the corner of a very bad photo used on the auction).
A mint one is probably worth in the region of £120 give or take ..6 months ago they were worth more as they had become a bit of a cult lens but things have settled now.
