16MP on the K5 to 36MP on the K-1 would be a pretty big leap in processing and storage requirements. I would have preferred 24 MP with commensurate benefits in noise characteristics.

The flip-out screen concerns me, never having required the like as I don't shoot macro. Why do we need it with the wi-fi connection to mobile devices.

The ISO range looks useful as does the GPS but the deal-breaker will be the AF performance.

That would be me then - It's hard whittling down to one.

No one beats Nestle's Milky Bars though Green & Black come close at a price

David devised a competition to add a little side interest for the 7 of us who met in Sheffield on Sunday. We all had to choose one prime lens that we would shoot with for the whole day and then submit our best pic for entry in the competition.

Good to meet you again David, Neil & Andrew and for the first time George, Dave & Paul. I enjoyed your company for the roam around my home-town seen from a few new perspectives.

Hi all. Came up tonight to stay with family and looking forward to tomorrow's meet.

Intrigued by the locations and wondering if they might include canal basin or 'The Sheffield Tap' (v. Atmospheric and on the station). I will pretend to be looking at Sheffield like an outsider.

I wonder if any of the locals might have any unwanted copies of 'The Star' from earlier in the week. I was hoping to buy a couple of copies tonight for Northern Rail promo tokens but they seem to have finished printing them now.

I bet Chris has been moving a few boxes around at the back of the store-room and found a stack of these on a previously hidden shelf?

Ha ha -- sometimes if I didn't get the ball in the right place near enough the Sports Writer used to 'cheat' and cut out a ball and stick it on the print where HE wanted it then the print would go for letterpress block making and pic would come out in the paper looking 'Perfec' all BEFORE PhotoShop was invented !!
What did you call it? Footy-shopping?

I am hoping to join you too, if I can decide between 28, 35, 50 or 50 mm.

I was interested to read in "The Observer" a week and a half ago, that Sheffield is prominent in the provision of public art. The 'upturned tuba' outside The Children's Hospital (outside the city centre) and numerous sculptures and relief carvings were mentioned.

Lens-wise, 28 or 35 for city-scapes or 50 mm for distant/close-up.
