I agree with Robbie. In fact if you can stretch a bit further, the K7 meters slightly better with M lenses.

On the one hand I want to applaud JR for the Herculean efforts he goes to in moderating the forum virtually single handed. We don't make it easy sometimes, with childish behaviour, myself included. Not that I'm leveling that criticism at Tim because it seems his initial offending post was entirely innocuous. However maybe sharing the burden a little more, with additional moderators, and a less unilateral approach, might be fairer for everyone. And I would urge John to relax and let things lie a bit more, perhaps wait for problems to be reported rather than monitoring things 24/7. Zapping leads to deals threads and excessive thread tidying can cause more problems than it solves IMHO.

I have very fond memories of this forum but have moved my focus of activities to other things. Still like to lurk around or post the odd thing now and then.
I do know Tim from this forum (and other occasions) quite a while and cannot imagine him doing anything so silly warranting a ban (apart from now logging in as a new user; but he had no other way of opposing what you wrote in any other way). It would be good if you could review your decision in a couple of days. For me it seems quite likely that you misjudged this case. If I'm right then I hope you have the balls to admit to it.
It's easy to say there's more to things than meets the eye but I don't want to talk about it, let's move on.
No, it's too serious (at least to me) to move on. I want to know why Tim was banned, preferably publicly but if you are not prepared to do so send me a private message, please.
Best regards,
Prieni

Well the 'charts n graphs' published by Angela Nicholson in her recent review did seem to put the Q and GF3 virtually neck and neck, and of course both higher than the Canon G12 or was it 13... in terms of DR and noise handling. The Sony NEX was consistently better though. But that's just charts and graphs, and while some of the actual sample images I've seen are great, others are a little bit disappointing on close examination.

I think this is probably on the money. The Q does offer a few bells and whistles extra, like the useful looking fisheye prime lens, manual control in video (lets hope the feature trickles down - or should that be up? - into Pentax DSLRs), and external flash support. But the S95 will turn out similar results for half the cost.The S95 (and subsequently whatever replaces it, S100 I guess) is the camera that the Q pitches directly against.

I would just use a patch of micro fibre cloth, maybe hold it in tweezers or wrap it around a chopstick etc.

Dammit Dave, I was trying to pick one of those up last week; set my snipe at 30 quid but was outbid twice (i.e. you got a bargain)!

Beautiful shots. I adore foxes. Great expression the last one!

Gotta say, I prefer the stuff in Tim's link to any of the subsequent links.
Jeff Ramirez's stuff has a sense of wit, I prefer his deadpan approach. What he does reminds me a bit of that strange woman in that creepy documentary-movie Catfish, who does paintings of strangers from their photos on Facebook.

I'm quite chuffed with the bokeh from my new SMC K 135 f2.5

Look between the words 'Pentax' and 'Master' above your profile picture. Then look at Mark's, Robbie's, Smeggy's, and mine. I'm sure some day soon you'll be a pro like us, Alan
