Unfortunately a bit murky, especially top right. The monument's also a bit central - but it's a fabulous view.

...Not bad with free spare battery. And they're from SRS - so you also get the reassurance of dealing with a tried and trusted store. Quite attractive compared to used prices or dubious online retailers.

That sounds in line with the more credible rumours. But I spoke to mifsuds this morning and the guy said he was having trouble getting hold of k-7s so that might mean they are scaling back production, or it might mean nothing at all!

It would be mice if this site allowed you to search the gallery by camera model etc. But I guess at 800pixels in size, there's no noticeable difference between cameras anyway!

If you want to look at full size images for IQ comparison the best website is Pixelpeeper.

Perhaps a smidgeon more dof would be better as a portrait shot, but you chose the focus point well, and I actually quite like the fact that only her eye is in focus. Good buy.

Thanks Gwyn. That makes sense. And I just checked out Pentax's uk website- apparently repairs are carried out by a company called Photopia, you just download a form from the Pentax website, and send the item there

f I buy an item with cash and less than 1 year after purchase have to take it back as defective, the seller can't argue as they are quite unlikely to remember me from the time I've bought it - if I take my recent SRS purchase back to Chris he wouldn't be able to tell me from a fictional irish drunk priest with a pendant for bricks, gurrlllz and DRINK!
Do you also have a terrible fear of rabbits? Hairy japanese b*stards

Thanks for the advice but I was talking about buying from an individual, where I cannot get to the shop he bought it from (say in another country or far flung part of UK), but where proof of purchase is provided. I previously thought I'd be able to go to Pentax directly for repairs, but Philstaff's recent story made me think otherwise, as he had to return the item to Currys.

Superb little camera though. Quite tempted, having used one before I got my P30n (which was given away free on the forum!) But the P30n is sufficient.

I would urge anyone wanting a film camera to give the P series cameras a try! The P50 is the best of them and well worth £50 let alone £30.

Pretty challenging conditions for any sort of video camera, Mike!
