Yes of course there should, but apparently it's 'too difficult'!

Agree with the rest on the 3rd shot,the bins are an annoyance but there's something nice and formal, almost abstract, about the composition. I like that sort of thing, especially when the actual subject matter is so mundane.

Beautiful dog, Gary. What did you say to him to make him so sad? LOL!

Sorry, with at least two FF threads going on, i couldn't resist...

He uses Pentax? Cool. These are excellent pics.

The optical trigger is fooled by the pre flash. You can either use wireless triggers, obtain a more advanced optical trigger that takes account of the pre flash (SY_5 type) or use a non p_ttl flash as your trigger.

Looks very romantic!

The Q looks awesome, I just prefer simplicity and convenience in a compact. The Q is more an enthusiast's plaything.

If you have moire, diffusing in PP isn't going to help. But there are a lot of iis users over on PF, and issues with moire don't seem to be significantly worse than the K5 classic.

I agree Greg. I find it annoying but 'rules is rules', and otherwise this is a great site with, I have found, very courteous and even-tempered moderation - disagreements over some of the rules aside.

In terms of Q vs quality compact, I would go for a camera like the MX-1 every time, as I think if you're going to make so many sacrifices to have a small compact 'go-anywhere' camera, it makes more sense to have a quality built in zoom lens, and forget about mucking about with interchangeable lenses.
