Can't you already output the live view to an external monitor (ipad even) via one of the ports?

I should really have checked first Ted! Used to be in the SatNav, but I just canna find it anywhere now. I did see a 512mb card for 1.50 in my local CEX though, and would be more than happy to send it on.

I guess you could buy two of those ultra cheap fix focus cameras and mount 'em to a plank of wood.

I do prefer the type of double image where you don't need glasses... just cross your eyes and let yourself focus on the central image. link

Dare I go for it?

... probably not, after checking some of the results! linkThey do a 3D adapter though which might be fun (not listed on that particular site)...

I remember his rather gushing review of the K-7, so I am not surprised he liked the K-5 so much! A pity he seems not to have bitten the bullet and bought one.

Might be fun to try, if the price is sensible! The perspective control version looks intriguing.

I am not bothered in that in the slightest, and would not hesitate to PM an offer even if someone else had placed an offer. They might have only offered 5 pence for all I know! I can imagine if I wanted to make a very cheeky offer, I might not want to make it public for fear of putting off other buyers. When I put "PM sent' it is for the benefit of the seller (a heads up)... not anyone else!

What does bother me... IMMENSELY... is people disputing the asking price, who have no intention of buying the item. Seller is entitled to ask whatever he wants... caveat emptor.

I can let you have a 128mb card, Ted, if I can find it! When I started out (with a 3.2mp Ricoh) 512mb cards were really pushing the limits of storage capacity... Seems pathetic now

For snapshots 3.2mp did me fine, and I even printed at around A4 a few times. Makes you wonder why people who don't print at large sizes think they need 14mp compacts, really.

Well you just significantly increased the resale value of the lens, great shots! No. 2 especially. Bet you're not thinking of selling it any time soon though!

The tamron 17-50 f2.8 looks like more than a viable alternative to the 16-50 from where i'm standing. Check out Gary Stafford's concert pics in the Your Photos section (JLS was the latest one). He also uses the 50-135mm, and it seems a marriage made in heaven from whe quality of his shots.
