I have been using Silkypix pro for a while and like it. I tried LR3 beta when it was available and found I did not get as good a result with it. I found it was always off doing something I had not told it to do.

Therein lies the problem Ian - I am not convinced there is one. If the subject is reasonably close and slow moving, then Pentax is the way to go. If it is whistling past me at 450mph then I reach for my Canon. I am sure Noinks do something good too, but my bank manager has embargoed me from finding out. I just want a camera that will produce good quality images.

Means you'll be paying for the thing weeks before you have it in hand. I'd rather keep my money mine until the goods are shipped, so will wait to see how other retailers shake out...

Just be careful with that one - on their help page it says this:Actually Jacobs are taking preorders for the K-5 body only at £999 which is less than I paid for my K-7 when it first came out.

Their internal and customer communication is non existent. I placed an order of over £1000 with them on a Tuesday with express (1-2 days) postage and confirmed they had stock. They immediately took the money out of my account but when the lens had not arrived by Friday, I phoned them. It took them twenty minutes to tell me they simply had not got round to sending it out. I cancelled the order. Guess what I got on Monday.
By that time I had already bought locally as I needed the lens for the Sunday.
Proper 5 raspberry service.

I'm sorry, but you have all missed the ultimate devil's vegetable - okra.
Nothing but seed, stalk and hard skin and fur. Yuk.

To me you seem to have captured an unreal or even slightly macabre* atmosphere. Very good.

Agreed. Lots of flying mud, wheels in all directions, captures what it is about.Number Five for me. Car sharp, wheels blurred, loads of action. I think the reflections help as well.

I would expect the WR to come with a hood, but I didn't realise it was an option as a kit lens with the Kx

Monitors in general and printers in general will not show the full gamut of AdobeRGB. As time goes on of course, this will become less and less true.
The conventional wisdom was that you should shoot sRGB, but while on a course at Shoreham airport I was told to shoot Adobe RGB raw.
