Hi- I've had the K100D for a couple of years and been happy with it, but was wondering if I should upgrade to the GX10- it's so cheap at Park Cameras. Is it worth doing? Yes, I know the K20D is much better but guess what? Money's tight. I would miss ISO3200 which I sometimes use at festivals, and I have to say, the AA batteries. (Yes, that old chestnut). Any advice? Thanks

I was in the loft the other day and found this flat circular bit of black plastic, about 12 inches in diameter, with a groove on either side.

Is this a record?

I've known of this for some time. I've also bought one of his books. Good blog.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I'm spoilt for choice

As I have a token, could anyone recommended a decent photography book, primarily on composition? Please, not on Photoshop and the like- I have enough of them! Thanks.

Thanks for the advice. Both models only have 'digital SR'.

Dont remember Dixons doing used stuff (maybe I'm to young)but as I recall they sold the brand names Chinnon and Miranda, and another that I cant remember.
Prinz was one of theirs. These included (literally) rebadged Russian Zenit SLRs. The 'Prinz' badge was stuck over the 'Zenit' logo!

I was thinking of getting an M50 or M60. The 50 has 8MP, the 60 has 10MP. They're about the same price. I would have thought that 10MP is too high for the tiny sensor. Any advice? Thanks.

While we're reminiscing, do you recall Dixons selling second-hand stuff? I remember they had a separate window for used equipment in their Oxford St branch. Having said that, their customer service was pretty poor, even in the 60s. Nothing changes. Wallace Heaton was the place to go. Until Dixons took it over
