Well, that's a terrible shame and, with respect, an over reaction to these stories. Architecture and street shots comprise 60% of my photography. I've only been approached once (i was in a side street by a police station). A brief explanation of what I was doing was sufficient and we parted amicably. I'm sure encounters like this are the majority, if not newsworthy.

I'm tired of this sort of thing. No the police shouldn't be so suspicious of photographers, but to refuse to provide details just makes the situation more serious and in doing so you risk arrest. Would you refuse to give your details if you had a car accident? 'If you are doing no wrong then you shouldn't have to account for your actions' - well unless you have been able to explain why you are taking pictures to the officer's satisfaction - and that comes down to both the officer's common sense and YOUR attitude in dealing with him - how is he to know whether you are doing wrong or not? Give your details, and if you think you have been wronged, write to the police authority.

I am aware folks weren't picking between these cameras, but I would be interested whether as many people have come to Pentax through purchasing the K-x than did with the K-m. Obviously its not meant to be a scientific poll but it would be chance for newcomers to the forum to contribute.

Apparently the K-x and K-7 do have this feature Stefan - another example of Pentax introducing little features which show they really do think about things from the photographers perspective.

This is for newcomers to Pentax DSLR within the last couple of years who entered the brand with a K-m or K-x. Which model did you buy? Why did you buy the camera, and did you think it was good value?

Aah that sucks. You could always try using one of those clamps for DIY from the pound shop.

If you do need to buy a kit lens, you could either get one of the new 18-55 WR lenses for full environmental sealing on the K10, 20 or 200d, or get the excellent 16-45mm.

Cheque received today - absolute pleasure doing business with you, thanks very much

That is camera porn! They've released dslrs in silver before but this is the first that really looks good in it. Silver plastic is naff, shiny metal is awesome!

I buy it to read on the odd train journey. Its 2.40 vs 3.99 for the monthly mags.
