Thanks to everyone above for your interesting and helpful comments.

All the best.

The colour shot seems preferable to me but with saturation reduced a bit (and a bit more in the reds). The sign board seems insignificant compared with the distraction of the overhanging leaves. Although use of such a feature to help frame a subject can work, for me their intrusion seems untidy in this case.

Good reflection images. The elongated reflections are most attractive.

The first and last are my choices. The flower seems to be illuminated internally!

I use a KP now for the majority of shots and I think it is an excellent camera - you can read about its potential and performance in many on-line user-reviews.

Whether its ergonomics suit you is a matter of personal choice so, if you can, you should try handling one for a while, before making a decision. I have found no problem with the different layout of its controls, and the extra e-dial is a great feature. The only negatives for me are the grips - none of them feels as good as the built-in grip of a K-5 and K-3 - but I tolerate that as a minor point because the camera is so good.

Two of the KP features you might be interested to know:
(i) In electronic shutter mode it goes down to 1/24000 sec, so does that cancel the need for an ND filter?
(ii) It uses the smaller D-Li109 battery, so it is wise always to carry a charged-up spare.

My thoughts too.

St Mary The Virgin is a very old church (13th Century) in this Buckinghamshire village. Here are a few closer shots using a KP with the HD 70 Limited lens:

1. A quiet corner



2. Renovated stone



3. Mossy roofs



4. Security lamp

Thank you for your comments, Don, Gareth and Peter.

1 is entertaining! 2 and 4 are my choices.

5 and 6 for me (but all good).
