I think that faster AF/more accurate AF/More AF points should come under one heading.
It's possible to improve one without improving the others, and they have different target audiences (first: action photographers, second: people taking lots of photos under tungsten?, third: well OK this would benefit most people!). For example faster AF wouldn't benefit me all that much, because the things I photograph are either inanimate or standing still. For someone with young kids, or who photographs sport, it would be much more important.I think that faster AF/more accurate AF/More AF points should come under one heading.

Let us assume that the rumors of a new Pentax camera are true. That done, if you could only have ONE of the most commonly requested features (or fixes for most complained-about problems, depending on your POV) on this new camera which would it be?
PS: I'm assuming that the hypothetical K5 will be neither EVIL nor FF, which is why those aren't in the poll

Might be my eyes/lack of attention, but I can't see any in the OP's photo. You're correct of course that cycling on pavements where signs permit cycling on pavements is not illegal...The blue signs with a cycle on mean its very, very legal.

Depends which cheaper version you mean. The DA 50-200 predates the 55-300, and I suppose Pentax have kept it around because it is more compact and has a WR version (though there's no reason why there can't be a 55-300 WR at Photokina of course). The DA-L 55-300 is optically identical to the DA 55-300, it just has a plastic lens mount and no quickshift focus (making it lighter and cheaper). The only way to acquire this lens (new) is in a Kx double zoom kit, or from a shop which has unboxed them from such kits.suffolkcolin wrote:

+1 for Redsnapper. Not the lightest (although they do offer carbon fibre models IIRC) but very solid when it's set up. Also comes with a free carrying case, which is sold separately by most other brands.

I think Leica are another firm trading on their history, rather than what they're doing now. I cannot believe that anything they make could beat a K7 and a set of DA Ltds.
Aargh, I hate this forum's mangled handling of quotes. Try to quote more than one post and a mindless contortion of skulduggery results Eh? I didn't say that, it was Offertonhatter!

They probably would leave you the choice for now but I wouldn't be surprised if DNG becomes the Pentax standard instead off PEF.
