I had never heard of that camera, but it looks very nice, a bit retro. My experience was with an oly 5060- great camera, built like a tank. The K-7 has some metal in its construction, but the 5060 seemed to be hewn from solid steel. You would have had to hit it with a brick to damage it. And the brick would have come off worse!

It's very secure once folded away. Are you careless with your kit Stefan?

Another option would be to put a colour lcd screen on the top plate! You only need a small display to check composition and it could show focus confirmation.

I can't wait either. Would you consider doing this for other members?
I'm just wondering how a spotty would look in those bright K-x colours...

If it's built right, it actually protects the screen from getting scratched. You fold it away when not in use.

That's unfortunate! In that case, a 50mm f1.7 would be a good bet.

Can you even get Nicads these days?? I very rarely have any issues with my Recyckos and they last me for weeks, although I am used to occasionally having to turn the camera off and on again!

Alkalines may not be recommended, but Duracells and similar premium batteries do actually work - just not for very long. Useful for getting you out of a hole

I used a 50mm f2 lens, but I think it was set at at least f5.6. The 16-45mm would be fine I think.

Have you got an external flash? I'd be tempted to grab a cheap 'un (a manual one) from ebay and have a practice at bounce flash. This one was taken that way:

I like the last one best too, photographically. However no. 4 has caught an... interesting.... pose - if only the hand was a little higher, it would have been perfect!

Makes one proud to be (half) English. Not

Israeli flags were on show too...

These are exactly the types who whinge about how no-one has pride in the St George flag anymore, then they abuse it in this way... grrr.
