Nothing much gets past UK customs these days.

Well at least its comfortable.
Maybe they have the same person working for them that did the Pentax UK K7 banner with the K20D.

Also if a DSLR can do over 30 mins of recording it then comes into the camcorder tax bracket which is apparently much more expensive.

So anyway, show us some pics from the Canon Tel, I would be interested to see them.

It is only for DA lenses plus the 2 D-FA Macro lenses.
Apparently there is also a 4-5 second delay after each shot while the camera processes the image.
No continous AF in video mode either.

Yet the daft thing is the DA* 60-250mm f4 is actually the same here in the as the USA. It was £799 when Chris first got it in and now £899 but in the USA cheapest price is approx $1400 (approx £890) so it was cheaper at one stage.

Sorry to butt in if I appear not to know what I am talking about as I am new to all this. However, I have been enquiring with the London Camera Exchange to buy my first macro lens and they have warned me that all the Pentax kit will be shotting up in price around July due to the $/£ exchange differences. They said Canon and Nikon kit had already taken the hit. A Pentax 105mm (I think it was)macro lens was quoted as being £499 now which they said was the same price as the Sigma, but in July they said the Pentax would increase to £699.
Like I said sorry if I am speaking out of turn.

I think you are probably thinking of the Pentax 100mm Macro lens.Sorry to butt in if I appear not to know what I am talking about as I am new to all this.

SRS are a lot cheaper than £499 .. LINK HERE but the prices are due to go up on the 1st June although Chris has said he will hold prices for as long as possible.
There are also cheaper options such as the Tamron 90mm and Sigma 105mm macro lenses.

As a matter of interest (as someone coming into digital photography with a used K10D) what was the retail price of the K10D and K20D when they were first announced.And by the way, I do think the K7 is a great camera.

I just thought this review would be of interest to all you people with money to burn!
If I want to spend my money on something that gives me pleasure then why not? I don't drink anymore, I gave up smoking 6 years ago and we rarely go out for a meal because our son needs constant care so if I (or anyone else for that matter) wants to buy a new camera, car, kitchen or even a ocean going yacht then just be happy for them.
Saying that .. Im waiting for the cashback at Xmas.
