I had one on my Panasonic LX and it was excellent, so I've ordered one for my MX-1.

These photos were taken during a lull in the recent bad weather, using a K-5 II and 18-135mm WR lens.
1. The place is the weir upstream from Boulter's Lock, on the Thames at Maidenhead. The viewpoint is on a small island in the river called Ray Mill Island:
2. The small flash of red in the water at the top right in #1 was this chap:
If anyone is interested, the important exif data should still be with the images above.

However, I agree that scoring systems are a bit dubious at best and useless at worst. That does not negate the value of a review though, it's something that's there in reviews because the audience demands it. Or at least a large proportion does, because people are looking for a "top trumps" reason to say their camera is better than mine, or maybe a quick summary to aid a slightly casual buying decision.
I agree with those comments, John, although even the latter can only be of any level of help if it is part of a comparative review of several similar items, rather than a review of only one.However, I agree that scoring systems are a bit dubious at best and useless at worst.

The K-3 will soon be the perfect camera, Smeggy. As its price falls, the value score will rise above 100%, taking the overall result up to 100%.

Good set, Tom. #1 and #5 are my favorites - prefer the more natural look in #1 and just the hint of movement in #5.
