Good idea. It might be an idea to do a vote, or get people to say what photos they especially liked in the last week. Then see if a winner emerges. Not everyone entering pictures in the Gallery may be willing to judge next weeks POTW.

Think on the other forum the POTW is selected by the number of 'likes' it gets; but that's not possible on this forum.

I wondered that too. Plus what would she have thought of the printing? Did they say that some of the images had been cropped as well?

I don't think the discussion about practising and developing your skills was aimed at you, Mart. Upgrading kit will not compensate for a lack of skill IMO, but if you are skilled, as you sound to be, you can become aware of places where your current kit - not you - is holding your photography back. That's upgrade time.

There are solid reasons to go FF which can't just be brushed away (like narrower DOF at equivalent F-stops) and will always remain a valid reason for upgrading if they are important to your photography.

It was a great watch, throughly recommend catching it on iPlayer for those that missed it!

Got to say, I've never been as interested in a Pentax compact as I am the MX1. I'm still annoyed about the lack of hotshoe though! I am really getting into flash and it would be nice to pop a radio controller on this little camera, and there's plenty of space for it on the MX1 (the Oly XZ2 managed to include one).

Yes cheers Nigel, nice bit of work! Good to conclude with your personal choice, while showing the pluses and minuses of each variant of the camera - other people may have different priorities. It's good to have the choice!

The Sigma Superwide II 24mm is still worth keeping on your radar though, it's a lovely little lens, very sharp.

People somehow managed with manual focus, manual wind-on SLRs.... I agree, it's patience and the ability to capture the moment rather than snapping every possible scenario with the latest kit. One beautiful shot to keep forever rather than a gazillion so-so ones!

If you do not have the technical skills, learn them, before upgrading to the latest kit.

I have a K10D

I assumed Cedric meant one of the Samsung NX cameras. Not a phone! I have a Sony NEX and think it's great, but I wished Pentax made something similar.

The Q looks great fun but it's the MX1 which would get my money.

Remember the focus peaking is also available on the K30, Bob! Great shots, I quite like the K01 and for 125.00 it's a solid buy!
