All seems it has mic input, I wrote that and some more "quite possible features" of the new camera some time ago in the "new pentax camera" topic .if it's going to have video, it had better have a mic jack.

Great one, "speaking" eyes, natural pose.

You may want to speak to Amin (aminstar) he was/is doing that sort of photos - check photos in his portfolio.

I use NeatImage sometimes, 99% of this "sometimes" is when I'm submitting photo to some photo galleries with screening (these guys usually don't like noise), and photo was taken on high ISO, shows some visible noise.
Therefore I'm not using noise removal in camera or in other software.
Surely you have a much more control over the process of cleaning photo when using that software, often even at default values effect is very good, without the need to tune it (algorithm may be more advanced as well).
On the other hand noise removal build in UFRaw is not bad, sometimes I tend to use it a bit and skip the NeatImage (I use UFRaw to work on RAW files).

Or NeatImage, I think Ninja and Neat are the two top and comparable noise removal software.

Some samples with this lens and K10D, jpeg straight from camera, no PP just downsizing, lens is not bad I must say, it has some problems with purple fringing on high contrasty areas (typical tree branches oevr white sky), but that is something I would expect from it anyway.
Price update - 35GBP delivered (to UK).

Ok, mine try, didn't do any cropping, rather concentrated on the RAW work, that was dully day so I was trying to keep the final photo near to (what I think) the real view was.
What I've done was an exposure and white balanse correction, some play with curves, a bit of colour saturation, healed the dust spot and finaly sharpening.
In use was: UFRaw + Gimp (dust spot removal, downsize, sharpening, save).

I don't take any notice of "quite possible features", if I did then according to Pentaxforums it will make me tea and toast in the mornings and run on unleaded fuel.
