A couple of years ago, at a Boomtown Rats gig, I got talking to their official photographer prior to them coming on stage. got talking about settings etc, and he said for gigs he ALWAYS shoots in shutter priority, auto iso, and RAW, to pp white balance.
I cant remember what shutter speed he said though....trial and error I suppose.

k3 arrived this morning, VERY well packaged.
in mint condition, including X2 spare batteries (3in total), wired remote, infra red remote...and a Black Rapid RS-7, wow.....I wasn't expecting that.
thanks Kan for a great transaction....very happy.

Payment sent.

You have a pm.

I have the DA50mm f1.8, and for the money its a complete no brainer. I paid £50 for mine on here, and also bought the DA35mm 2.4 on here for the same.
I dont think you would get better for that money.

Hi phil.
I went from a kr to a k5, and not knocking the kr, the k5 is in a different league, and, for me it was a big step up. I found the k5 an easier camera to use, it fits my hand better...it just felt right!
I have very recently sold the k5, and bought a used k3 from here, and while the step up from the k5 is smaller, it still represents, to me, a big step up.
Going from the kr to a k3 i think you will notice a big difference...in just about everything. Physical - build quality, button placement, amount of external controls, twin control dials, top lcd, etc. Internal - the biggest thing for me was the AF....seems so much faster, quieter, and seems more accurate. Im using the same lenses as i had for the kr anfd k5, so IQ wise i cant say ive noticed a big difference, though my 55-300 doesnt seem to hunt anywhere near what it used to.
I cant comment on the ksii, but the k3 is a great camera, and im pleased i bought it. I dont think i will need or want to upgrade from the k3...this should see me for a canny while now.

thanks Gareth, really appreciate the info.

Gonna get the mag tonight and have a go. as top-banana says, moody and poster like,...exactly what im after.

cheers.

excellent. my son would love these.
wouldn't mind a bit more info on your set up to do this.
son would be very impressed!

And very nice they are as well Jon.

Take it your daughter is happy with the k5 then.
