I prefer the rectangular format, but would not crop as much as Chris... just a bit from the top to achieve the 3:2 ratio - none from the sides or bottom.

Flashing LED's on APS-C is the future

Like the 60-250's not much use for APSC?

Some quick shots from Harold Peto's Classical styled garden at Iford manor, Bradford upon Avon. Fabulous place; I loved the sculptural pieces and colonnades set amongst beautiful planting, and the river valley setting is wonderful. Straight from camera I'm afraid!

I didn't read Stu's comment as rubbishing the k30, so much as implying that the K30 wasn't a camera that really stood out in the marketplace.

From Dpreview

"The biggest issue we have with the K-S1 is figuring out its target audience. Its design (including those LEDs) makes it stand out in the crowd, but the biggest selling points should be what's inside.

Bingo. If anything those LED lights detract from what seems a very capable little camera in a traditional photographer sense. Because they look like they were inspired by a nasty cheap HiFi or something.

They've put a lot of work into getting this camera small and compact, and retained a decent prism viewfinder. Wouldn't it have been lovely if they'd gone for a more classic aesthetic, perhaps even like the original KS-1?

That's exactly what I do when I have sold a BIN item elsewhere. Simpler and quicker than ending an auction early.

I didn't see the article as primarily saying there was no bad equipment now, I saw it as saying that the tools come second and a better camera won't help anyone take better images.

He says 'No one is making a bad camera or a bad lens or a bad light or a bad camera bag or a bad sensor' and 'Now, more than any other time in history, it is possible for you to create a better image.'

The article is not about a sophisticated modern camera vs, say, a box brownie.

It's about how all sophisticated modern cameras are excellent, and there's not as much difference between them as the forum chatter would lead you to believe: 'If you want better pictures, just go out and get a camera and a lens and whatever you need to create the scene that you want. You know why? Because no one is making bad products anymore.'

This is my understanding: As the angle of view is about the same, you'll shoot from about the same distance. So the effect on perspective will be very similar. DOF would be affected though.

Thanks John. It's fairly compact, but they cram a lot into a comparatively small space. So no Eden Project, but a great spot for an hour's stroll.
