I always like to see your sports action shots, but these are something special.. no.4 in particular.

I don't think hd DSLRs can replace your family handycam, where you can just wave it about and it just does its thing. They seem better suited if you take time setting up your shots, using a tripod, anticipating the action, avoiding sudden changes in exposure etc, more like a serious video maker would.

You might be having a depth of field/focussing problem, or a slight camera shake problem, neither of which will be helped by buying a new lens. It would be helpful to know what lens you're using and see a pic to demonstrate the issue.

I've seen people on other forums talk about 'declicking' lenses, which presumably means they have found a way of getting around this.

I guess changing the aperture mid shot is something you'd try and avoid if you were making a serious movie, unless you were after a special effect with changing dof.

The Golden Gate Bridge, San Fransisco.

It doesn't get much more literal or mundane...

I'd blame a need to increase profit margins at the same time as adverse trading conditions which smaller companies can't withstand as well as the big ones.

To be honest most of the prices seem to have come down a bit, if not to the original 'bargain' levels. And the bodies and base-level lenses remain terrific value.

You want Pentax to make camcorders then?

The blurb says its the first consumer camcorder with interchangeable lenses. Not so, I used to have a canon EX1 hi-8 camcorder in the 90s, which took EOS lenses. Certainly the lens it came with was de-mountable.

I'm sure I can recall instances where frustrated Canikon users have switched to Pentax (but that's different, right, cos they have good reason to!) Guess it's more common the other way round thanks to the magazines etc pushing the other brands as more 'pro'... Makes ya sick...

A k20 or even k200d body and a separately acquired WR lens would be my choice, given the cost issues and the importance of weather sealing. If you went the k200d route you'd still have £200 in the kitty for another lens e.g. 55-300.
