Same as Kris. If I want to upload a full size image, it's for a specific purpose. However I have to say, Flickr does make a good job of resizing pics - a lot better than Photobucket for example.

Are you happy using it manually (adjusting the aperture/ISO on the camera to give the correct exposure)? If so there are lots of very cheap manual options e.g. Pentax AF280T, AF240Z etc, on ebay. The Pentax ones are safe to use on DSLRs although they were designed for film.

I did have a modern auto flash gun a couple of years ago (AF360GZ) which was pretty good, but I didn't find it that much easier to use than a manual flash. I found myself adjusting the settings manually anyway! If you are looking for an auto flash, make sure it is P-TTL compatible. The cheapest bounce-capable one appears to be the Metz AF24 AF1.

You were winding me up? I'm sooooo gullible

Lol I think they probably just 'guessed' that there was a K300D, but it would be a logical model name for an upcoming entry level camera. Funny how they forgot about the K-x, K-7, K-5 and K-r....

Actually the camera's looks are growing on me. I wasn't that that keen on what they've done with the logo, but it looks great in white.




The normal typeface on the K looks better than the 1980s looking outlined text in the photo from the French catalogue here too.

Maybe they realised that everybody loves a leak?

Lenses with huge zoom ranges look tempting, but I would rather go for better quality or speed rather than range. The kit lens paired with the 55-300 would be a great start. Some of the old manual glass is really good too and often faster than the least expensive new lenses.

A flip screen may see me go for this over the k5, despite the fugly styling! I only had one camera with a flip screen, Olympus c5060 - it was fantastic. With video it would be even more useful.

If it doesn't exist, it's one helluva hoax! I would guess it will be announced in the next few days (if not tomorrow) now the retailers have let the cat out of the bag.

It's certainly real. It's already listed on Amazon (link) (in three colours) and in the online catalogue of 'Boulanger', which is I guess the French equivalent of Argos, on page 67.
