I like them all but 3 is my choice.

Is there some reason why you want the screen to face the camera?

If not, just turn off the display - press the Info button twice, choose the third option "Display Off" and press OK. The display goes black. Press the ISO button and the ISO value is displayed for you to change - press OK and the screen returns to black. (This works for all the four-way buttons, etc.)

Cheers.

Anyone ever bought from CEX - if you don't know they basically buy used tech and resell on UK high streets their online prices are very good but they are not a camera specialist so I'm a bit concerned about the condition.

They are offering a 24 month warranty:

I've bought several Chinese Takeaways from Amazon (can't remember which suppliers) over the last four years for various Pentax cameras (K-r, K-5 series, MX-1 and K-S2) - no problems and still all working fine. There are so many about and so few reported problems that I'll take the risk - but that choice, of course, is yours.

Cheers.

I like the sweeping view, the low lighting angle, and the contrast. The sea horizon top right and the building both appear to suggest that the image could take a slight clockwise rotation. There also seems to me to be a greenish tint to the whole image.

I prefer to use light compact lenses most of the time, so the Pentax DA Ltd primes are my usual choice and, of those, the 35 and 40 are probably in use most - more or less standard lenses for APS-C, beautifully made, and amazing image quality.

Cheers.

(They also look good to me as high contrast mono images.)

JL's £499 offer is a bit confused but would appear to be for the body + 18-50 kit lens, not the 18-135.

I like the whole concept of the Q series and it is an amazing little camera, but I wouldn't buy one until Pentax include a built-in viewfinder and tilt-screen. I don't like holding a camera out in front to compose a shot. At least with the MX-1, with the screen tilted up, it can be held against the body like a TLR, which gives a much clearer view of the screen in bright ambient light.

Cheers.

I like the humour of the last, and I like the composition with the bridge best but, as Nigel writes, it would be better without the magenta colour cast.

Cheers.
