How bizarre! The last shot is particuarly beautiful and surreal.

Yes, it looks like a mini-K5, with a swivel screen. Fingers crossed for an Exmor sensor.

If you look at the Queen of Hearts Card on the dpreview page
at 3200ISO the K-5 is way better than anything else

Unfortunately that's nowhere near as thrilling as spending a
load of money!
I think the card might be behind the focus plane of the Nikon. Here's another part of the scene at 25600

Good news.

On top of that, lets all shoot more film!

I would bite the bullet and set up a facebook account, just disable all the notifications (you ought to check it from time to time though or you won't know if you've won!)

when you are looking to move into a DSLR for the first time most people don't imagine themselves needing / spending that sort of money on a FF camera and top quality lenses a few years down the line, people just don't think that far ahead.
Some people do though, and that's why a lot of people don't buy into Pentax... in fact the other day I was eavesdropping on a Jessops rep selling a Canon 7D to a couple, who seemed like first time DSLR buyers - and he explicitly mentioned the full frame upgrade path.

The competition is done via facebook app. It's well worth having a facebook account, even if you rarely use it. You can either turn email notifications off, or just register with an email account you never use.

The alternative email address for entries is [email protected], which is still given on the competition page. Is it still not working?

I can still see it John (even if it had gone, would it really matter?

It would be nice, though, if it was relatively small (say a only a tad larger than a K5, and quite a bit smaller than a D800 or 5DIII).
I had the D800 in my hands at the weekend, I was very surprised to find it felt hardly any larger or heavier than my K5.
I can't comment on the D800, but I thought the D7000 was noticeably bigger than my K7 (in Jessops the other day) and the 5Diii was quite a bit bigger again. Are you sure the difference doesn't suddenly seem less now you have set your heart on the D800?

That said I tried out a total behemoth of a Canon Ids series a few weeks ago. While enormous compared to my K7, it was a manageable size I thought. But it would look ridiculous with a small Pentax prime attached. If Pentax create an FF camera they need it to partner well with their current FF lens assets and carry the design philosophy of the K7/5 forward, IMHO. That would give it a nice niche in the market place.
