... Oh and re the gallery, I've decided it's best to upload a 600px image straight off the bat, and not let the gallery do any resizing. This doesn't appear to have any impact on IQ.

Who cares we weren't getting anywhere, nor were we likely to! My dad used to work at Stevenson's Dyers at Ambergate. There were warm spots around the factory where the snakes liked to lay their eggs, and one year he brought home one of the many hatchling snakes that used to emerge. I loved that snake, and reared him on insects for a year before he was released back to the wilds of Cromford Canal!

I guess that kind of thing would be frowned on these days, but it hooked me on any thing to do with wildlife and conservation for life.

Ignore him.

It's all a bit confusing. But I like your grass snake shot. I spent almost my entire childhood in pursuit of these!

I love this camera, but needed better AF in low light (at least an AF lamp!) for focussing while using off camera flash. I'm tempted to keep hold of it as I like the ergonomics and IQ very much, but I have to defray the cost of getting a K30. I haven't experienced difficulty focussing in normal conditions, just in challenging very low light situations.

I am looking for 100.00GBP on the nose, to include UK postage.

Includes box, charger, strap etc.

Some light and superficial scratching to the rear LCD, only visible when angled to the light really.










This is the package it will come with, including the original strap.




Hope I don't end up regretting this

Tacky? This is just a hint of where you could go with this model... if she's into the Katy Perry look, you could really go to town with candy coloured backgrounds, cupcake bras, and cans of squirty cream! It may not be 'tasteful' but she'd love you forever!

Cheers, have done so.

Great Terry, yup stick with Jpeg for the time being - plenty of time to play with RAW in the future!

Again, just to reiterate - these are from the same 1000px jpeg uploaded to both sites, and then processed into 600px 'Gallery Views' by each site.

The larger 1000px view on PU is unaffected.

Just to clarify, I have made a composite of both EPZ and PU gallery view images (the 600 pixel versions generated from the file I have uploaded):
