If it were possible, it might be good to have both in one hybrid viewfinder, to be able switch between (or combine) the OVF view and EVF view at the press of a button, without taking the camera from the eye, e.g. to check exposure or focus peaking.

This is an important observation and I agree. It's not that prices are going up, it's the price of the new model compared with other Pentax models. I think the KP is a very good mid-range camera and I want it to succeed, but can it do so at almost double the price of the K-70 which is also a very good camera (SRS £1099 v. £559)?...Issue I can see with the KP is that it's priced really high for what's close to a K-70 internals...

Looking at the side-by side specs of the K-70 and the KP, the K-70 is already a well-featured camera compared with previous mid-range Pentax models so, although (some of) the extras in the KP might be desirable, are they worth paying double the price for? Obviously what people buy is a matter for their own personal choice, but the price of the KP just seems way OTT to me.

I use the Opera web browser on a Windows PC. The very first item in the Settings menu is "Block Ads". When that is selected, it appears to work quite effectively.

I like perspective shots and this is an unusual one - into the unknown - great! (But I hope your hearing is good!)

Lovely set of family images Nigel, you have done extremely well here, notably with the even and soft lighting.

I like number 4 for its effective portrayal of your daughter's deep thinking and concentration - she appears to be quite oblivious of your presence.

Beats me why there was never an MX-2. Imagine a 1" sensor, a faster processor, touch-screen and viewfinder.
I hope Pentax/Ricoh are reading this and doing something now to make it a reality soon.Beats me why there was never an MX-2. Imagine a 1" sensor, a faster processor, touch-screen and viewfinder.

P.S. Great image, Andrew.

Very nice. My preference is for 1 and 3. Showing the bases of the trees gives more of the sense of progression of depth into the mist from foreground to background.

That looks like a wonderful break you had. No.3 is particularly attractive and I love your choice of plain ordinary running water as opposed to the modern fashion of milky goo.
I agree, and particularly with your last point. I would also pick number 6.That looks like a wonderful break you had. No.3 is particularly attractive and I love your choice of plain ordinary running water as opposed to the modern fashion of milky goo.

It looks to me like a mirror image of a Pentax MX-1!
Cheers.
