Lovely shots... back on familiar ground with 5 & 6! 7 is nicely composed and the fen looks as soft as a kitten's paw (but sharp photographically - wonder which lens you used here).

Uncoiling ferns always remind me of fractals link... a few simple mathematical rules producing complex results with the illusion of design.

Miss Marple, those shots are absolutely wonderful! This lens offers bang for the buck that is just plain silly.

Nope! This is a very open forum and long may it continue like that!

Did you really just say the old bill, Gareth?

I think the k200d rocks. Get to grips with it, and when you are confident and progressing with your photography, treat yourself to something more up to date. If your wallet starts twitching, go for a new lens not a camera!

I turned up at the polling station at five to ten last night, and ended up not able to vote. It's an outrage. Infringement of my rights. I'm going to claim compensation. CALL THIS A DEMOCRACY?!

I'm very glad they didn't implement it like that!

The green button is fantastic, works really well for me.

If I was buying one of these evil cameras, my priority would be value. It should be cheaper than a true DSLR. Second in my mind would be IQ which should be the best available for the price. Third would be lens choice. Size would be my last consideration - as long as it was more compact than the smallest true DSLR.

So retaining the K-mount and apsc sensor would be a good thing in my book, at least compensating for the less compact size, providing the savings from not including a mirror were passed on in the price. As Don says, the Samsung NX camera is hardly smaller than the K-x anyway.

Doing it that way would give users the comfort of knowing they can upgrade to a mirror DSLR if they want in the future and retain their lenses.

No. 2 for me, but stunning light in all of them. It's great to have light like that and be in the right place.

It does look a cracker of a camera, my favourite of the new models. I'll be recommending it to a kayaking friend of mine, but it's too expensive for me. If it's the same sensor as the H90 (the one I would buy) things are looking good.
