I bought some from ebay once and they turned out to be fake. I always buy my memory online, 4GB speed 6 Kingston at £7.99link and the 8GB at £12.99 link you can't go wrong, can you?

Strange to make a list for different uses for different cameras.

Like John, I would say to get different lenses for different jobs.
I don't think I have ever come across a list like that before.
I think that Sony makes some fantastic cameras especially the top of the range ones.
As for Canon and Nikon, well I am sure their users won't appreciate their equipment being branded for one use only.
Why is it that only a Pentax can be used out in the rain?

No idea what you mean by the statement regarding the K-1000 saving someones life.

There must be more to your comments as I am totally confused

Paul

Ahhhh you keep saying that

That's what I did with the Nikon's the other day

I held one

I used one

I want one

Easy

Shoulda done that with the K-7 first though shouldn't I

You can use the pop up flash on the camera to fire the off camera flash

First things first hey
Get rid of the reflections, perfect the glasses, then work on the tilt.

I really am impressed with these shots, just wish I had the time to be this creative

When I looked at the Nikon D300, D700 and D3, I was astonished by the speed of the autofocus and also in the way they handled. Something that I was never impressed with with my K10 & K20. Most of the time I ended up turning to manual and cursing AF and thinking that camera companies had a lot to learn when it came to AF.
I found out the other day that it was indeed my K10/20 that had the problem. I really hope that the K-7 has not got that same problem. I will be visiting a camera shop soon to have a "play" with a K-7 before I make my mind up on whether to go for the big switch or not.

I really agree with that statement and well done John, that is well written.
The thing is that I know from my own knowledge and customer feedback that my photography is very good (can you see me blowing my own trumpet ). I want a camera that I can 100% rely on. For the vast majority of users on this site, the Pentax DSLR's are the bees knees and provide everything that they are looking for. I used to be like that but have gotten to a point now where I am slightly doubting the system.
Cameras, to me, are a work horse. They are there to do a job, if they start failing me or make my job harder then it is time to change.

I prefer the second one but may I add a tiny C&C to it.
I love the different angles but I think that if the middle one was level and the right glass was tilted to the opposite angle so that the outer glasses were angled into each other (does that make sense) then it would frame better.

You have gotten rid of the nasty reflections I see, well done they do look extremely better.

Now this may be my eyes here but all the glasses seem to be tilting to the left slightly...that maybe me though


Excellent work though Amin

Paul

You will need a proper flash as you know, as the ring flash will be no way near as powerful. You can get cheap flashes from ebay that will suit your needs

Paul

Soft box tents are great as they give a very even light all around the subject and they come in a vast array of sizes.

I don't think it would help you though, being a tent/cube it obviously has a top bit. My thoughts are that the top would get covered in smoke and it will make the shooting area smokey. Same with the bubbles, it would make it sodden with liquid.
Why not try making your own reflective area with white mounting card. You only really need it for the background and maybe the sides. Plus you will save your money.

Paul

Not being funny, and I don't want to look like a numpty again, but how did you upload your images before?
Did you always use the usb from the camera to the PC?

I simply take my card out and pop it in my laptop or PC. I only use my usb cable when I do tethered photography.
