Asus monitors are my personal favourite. You can pick up the IPS screen PB238Q at Amazon for under £200. Or if you are pushing the boat out. The Asus PA248Q. Individually factory calibrated. So no need for a spyder 3 £400.

Just a point. No one in there right mind should use a vga cable to connect their monitor up, for photo editing. The quality they deliver is so poor compared to Dvi Dsub or hdmi.

Turn the camera on while holding in the menu button. screen will display the current revision of your camera.

Sorry I wasnt aware ot that... The choices dont come any better than those, at the long end.

Some first class advice has been given already. It all depends on what you mean by wildlife. In the fact of "How close can you get to it." It has been said in this thread already the DA55-300 is the best budget lens. To get you anywhere near enough for decent returns. Though in my opinion the Dal 55-300 is better value. The Sigma 150-500 is the better one to go for. If its wild birds your after. Its not a walkabout lens. A little expensive. Though, It has never been as cheap as it is right now. As for Landscapes I would also stick with the kit lens for now. a great performer. Upgrading to the Sigma 10- 20 at a later date. The Pentax versions in this criteria are in my opinion far too expensive for no more quality.

You will have a real treat when your K5 arrives. What you will still be frustrated at is the lens choice when it comes to Nature / wildlife photography. Good to hear you like Sigma lenses. As that will be your choice..

Yep these are crackers..

Hi from the metropolis that is Manchester...

Though a fantastic little gem. It is a little difficult sometimes to know what you are actually focusing on with the K-x. As the viewfinder has no indication point, other than the focus lock indictator. Try using just the centre spot focus point. Make sure the green indictator is a solid disc before you fire the shutter.

Still dont see the attraction in looking backwards... Wont be digging my ME Super out anytime soon...

You can use it hand held. But its not good over long periods. I would recommend a monopod with a basis head, out in the field.
