- the camera to end all cameras
It looks a mighty mighty fine bit of kit, and truly competitive against the FF competition...but wait two years and the next ultimate camera will come along .

I'm chuffed to bits Pentax has produced this ... and very much looking forward to the images folk produce from it.... but I'm unlikely to make this my next purchase/upgrade. Hate to say it, but I'd be more likely to go down the mirror less route

There, I've admitted it. I'll get my coat

Fascinating!

Astonishing range by current standards... And just look at those supertelephotos

Really great, varied set Nigel. Really enjoyed seeing these

David's mono is a bit tasty as well

First cityscape is a real cracker... The angle of the boat leads in beautifully, and the light is terrific.

Another beautiful inspiring set Tim, wonderful stuff! The light in No3 is especially good.
Thanks Nigel... always a bit special when someone uses the 'I' word! I think 3's my favourite as well, given the light on the lake

Recently spent a rather wonderful, if extremely cold, dawn and sunrise perched above Llyn Ogwen in Snowdonia.

Four here of the same view through the changing conditions. Sunrise was 6:15am ish.

After which we slunk off for breakfast at the rather wonderful Moel Siabod Cafe in Capel Curig. I can recommend their full cooked breakfast

First and last are fritillaries (snakes head). Lovely wee spring flowers.

#2 looks like a magnolia flower. Was it on a shrub?

Lovely contrast on #1 between the purple flower and OOF green background

Tremendous sense of scale and height to the ceiling from this. Excellent image.

Fascinating stuff, thanks for posting

There's something quite delicious about the DA 40 XS, and by other reports the DA40 Ltd, being full frame usable. Full frame images from something little bigger than the competitions lens caps

I'd love to see some in-anger images and assessment of the DA40 Ltd on the K1. It could be a useful FF focal length, and it's been one of my favourite lenses for the K5/K3.[/quote]

Very nifty indeed for a first outing . Impressive quality of images here.

Love #3.
