It's pretty basic with Av only, but the metering was always pretty good on the one I used.
IIRC the lights are always smeared on MV's, as it's more about the colour of the light than it's position. They only have red for "too bright", green for "go for it" and amber for "caution, shutter under 1/30th" as I remember.

I generally align images with Hugin and use RegiStax to do the stacking, both are free software so hopefully that will help those without photoshop to get in on the action.

Pentax camera bodies have always been well made, even the base level *ists are still polycarbonate on stainless steel.
Alas mass market appeal is price driven, not quality driven.

Oops!! Sorry, I'll try that again,
thats very impressive for a K10D on ISO 1600 Stephan, what noise reduction did you use?
goodness knows what lead me to believe I was in one of your threads Amin!
Can I have a pint of what you're drinking?
it must be the government breaking through my tin foil hat via my mobile phone.

Did I take a pic with the K10D at ISO 1600 by any chance and its invisible as i can't see it?

Are they using the same batteries as I only have one for my K20d? Do I need to get one quickly?

Each of us is free to choose exactly how he or she likes to work and the camera just gets out of the way and lets you get on with it.
Of course this just makes the learning curve for beginners even steeper, but that's why there are entry level models and fairly sensible default settings on the advanced models.

It is still a 135mm lens, but of course you know that.

"how did they rig that?"
4000 people out of a population of 60,000,000 is hardly statistically significant, it would be simplicity itself to set up a consultation that size to get whatever result you wanted. You could probably "prove" that British people consider the sky to be pink if you tried hard enough.
