From a Canon shooter!
I particularly like the AF comments.

There have been occasions of lockups and it is well documented, I have a replacement K-5iis because the first one locked up on me three separate times. I was not taking shots in any demanding light, was not doing long exposures, and was not taking a burst of shots. The camera made a small "chirping" noise as it attempted to (I believe) lift the mirror then "Battery Depleted" appeared on the rear screen and the camera shut itself off, the battery was new and fully charged. The camera stayed in this state the first time for a couple of hours and started working fine again later (no it was not hot). The second time it happened it lasted a little longer and the third time for more than a day. SRS sent it to JP Solutions and loaned me a K-5 while it was gone, I then received a message that said a replacement camera was ready for dispatch.
But I repeat, it is not unique to Pentax!
Your record with Pentax is extraordinary John, you seem to have been very lucky as you have never had a single issue and amazingly never had to AF fine tune any of your lenses either, you are a very lucky man indeed.

Wow, very well captured, and well spotted. What is the bit in the middle and do you have any others of this stunning critter.

My K-5 has the same occasional issue. It seems to be a common Pentax problem.
I think you'll find it's a common dslr problem and not unique to Pentax. Do a search for "canon d lockup problem" and you'll find pages on the issue!

Then change the search for "nikon lockup problem"

I recommend doing this before posting remarks that could potentially put off a customer.

That's nice, you've captured the colours beautifully and the shadows on the ground really give it something different.

I have to say though that after looking at matwhittington's leaf pictures the level of detail in that sensor is breathtaking.

For anyone wanting a macro/landscape/portrait/ anything not moving in an erratic manner camera it has to be the best out there at the moment.
I will still be persevering with Pentax for my karting shots, because when I do get a goodun, it sure is a goodun

It is difficult to critique the IQ when presented with the reduced sizing. However I like the way the colours have come out, they look very natural, and the sharpness looks very good.
