There are the occasional times when you have to give exceptional thanks to the Wife, and this is one of those times. " weeks ago I was charging the battery in the same place as always. The 'Dear Wife' knocked the camera, (K7 had for nearly 3 years), off onto the floor and completely destroyed its capability to function on either focus or screen display.

With 2 simple phone calls to my Insurance Company, (House and Contents), they are replacing with a Brand Spanking K5.

THANKS my love.........

Magic shots!

Maybe, but NOT by 30%!!

I suppose that they will come out with all the usual lame excuses, Exchange Rate, Tsunami, etc etc. But the long and short is that we suffer. Perhaps we need to vote with our feet for say A YEAR and we dont buy anything? Im sure we would all have withdrawal symptons but WE could do it.

A 30% increase is a somewhat rather large increase. I wonder what the reasons are?????

Credentials??????????????????????

They must be increasing in price! Nearly 2 years ago £200 was a fair price.

A few from a practice this week, all with Siggy 150-500 @ 500mm and all heavily cropped except the last 2. Not the best of weather.
