Bothe shots were at 1/500, f8, ISO 400 with no processing, just straight save from raw to jpeg and then cropped. The only variation is possibly because they were both hand held but as I was leaning on something I dont think that could amount to much if anything.

Nearly, almost, not quite 100% view finder coverage Sounds good but how close are we to 100%?
Also, water proof? .. hasnt it always been weather resistant?

As far as image quality was concerned, the Eos 500D performed very well, but couldn’t match the likes of the Pentax K2000. We loved he plethora of shooting features and bountiful external controls. The menus were top notch and the 3-inch Live View LCD rocked the block, but at $900, we have to wonder if the Eos 500D is a justifiable investment. If we strip away the Eos 500D’s 1080p and 720p video capability, it can’t hold a candle to the Pentax K2000.

This is not currently a product. Pentax currently lists 10 LiOn battery types, the D-LI90 will be an eleventh.
The new grip either supports another D-LI90 accu or six standard AA batteries (for Eneloop and alike) (Not a speculation. You really got a choice what to fill your grip with.)

For unknown reason, my link, which worked in preview mode, doesn't seem to work anymore, so I try again:link
now, it works.
By the way, its a hoax.

RR : will try the 60-250mm with the TC in a bit.
This is not a put down of the Sigma by any means as (already stated) the zoom more than makes up for any difference imo. It was more a test to see if I really needed the Bigma now I have the 60-250mm as well.
