I liked it too but a lot of the enjoyment was how they exploited 3D. The storyline's a bit schmalz-bag though Glad it works in 2D too!

It's basically a tweaked Kr, the sensor is the same, so you're not actually that wide of the mark. Sensor production may now be focussing on 16MP+ sensors, certainly 16MP is becoming 'the norm' for low-mid range cameras, which may be why the Kr has been discontinued. Alhough perhaps there's been a hiccup on the supply side (or perhaps Ricoh are making some final tweaks) which has caused the delay to the new model announcement.

Or perhaps Ricoh have decided to scrap the K mount and focus solely on the Q

Wow, they have the Korejanai Robot edition of the K-x!

I got a u winka one with a 50mm lens, and it works great also on the da35. I would buy one again without hesitation. The straight metal screw on type are very smart but a fiddle to get off and on again if you ever decide to use the lens without a hood.

I'm not surprised, technology moves fast. What does surprise me is they've done so with no replacement announced!

Not only have I not entered a comp in ages, I haven't shot a single frame in at least a fortnight! Ah well I guess these things go in phases.

Well if there's anything that you particularly want, feel free to make an offer! The trouble is I tend to favour lenses in cycles

Ta, I will re-read this thread before I attempt it, and if I'm still not clear I'll give you a shout! It looks fairly straightforward but you never know with computers...

Looking forward to tackling this same problem soon! Can't keep setting the date and time every time I boot the PC up forever....
