I'm just finishing my glass of merlot - I may yet have another tonight

I really should not make any comment bearing in mind that the demised P70 was white [ absolutely stunning I will admit ] and the new one is red ! I don't even know if it's dark red or a bright red

I'll admit that a multicoloured one is not my idea of a suitable appearance for a K-x - but whatever suits you won't suit someone else .If it get's folk in by making photography fun - then why not ?

My eyes hurt

From where are you guys getting this glorious light for shooting these wonderful pics ?

Nope - but really killing 3 cameras in such a short space of time - well you really do have to wonder just how I do it .

hehehehehe

There are many examples of those

John - can you fix the name change for me please ?

It has to be admitted that 2 cameras died on me last year - and one of those was a sensor problem .

Hooray for Chris and SRS

Chris was looking at the sorry saga .

Like everyone he also thought the original was a sensor problem .

He was rooting about in the stores and hit on a little box - still sealed saying Pentax Optio 70 He says he was totally unaware of this one.

So we have an excellent resolution - the red one is coming North and the white one goes South .

I've been told [ not by Chris, I hastily add ] to change my name to techno-terminator

It's the water Gwyn - that alters the taste

I'll need to wait for info coming back from Pentax - but thanks for the offer John - i do like the wee thing .

I realised that a permanent carry around camera - one that's genuinely pocket sized was a GOOD IDEA after my Freelander got hit by a car driver throwing open his door as I passed him . I was able thanks to my phone camera to take some snaps at the time - including ones of his car .

Once I got the car home I grabbed the K-x and took some really good shots which also showed that the Front nearside corner was totally blemish free - the wing was a mess

After many months I got a letter confirming that the other side had settled and paid up . I can't help feeling that my piccies had a lot to do with it Since then I have tried to have a decent camera with me at all times .
