That's one vote each, now what do I do Toss a coin I think but knowing my luck it will land on its edge

Will have to have a look at similar in my favourite Camera dealers.

The way the team my missus supports have been playing they should wear red noses all the time

What do they use for solder now? I know lots of components are surface mounted rather than chips in sockets, but thought the actual connections were still soldered. Probably manufactured by the company that put in the cheapest tender

Wonder what the rate of Photographer failure is? Mine is 99.9% but I still enjoy it

Jessops are letting me play with my camera as I pay for it (interest free)

If I'd had to save up to buy it I'd most probably found a different hobby in that time. Would not use Jacobs ( Newcastle branch )they had a lens I'd ordered go to someone in Glasgow. So a 2 hour trip in a bus for nothing!

I think speak as you find is probably the right way to go.

The second Pentax and first digital I bought was a 2nd hand *istDL2. I think it takes decent pics, and I could use the lenses I had from the SFXn film camera, but seems heavy on the batteries but helped me decide to stay with Pentax and upgrade to a K7, now cheap as chips My biggest gripe I suppose is the cost of new lenses, not many bargains on the second hand market either, but there again do I need them. I'm keeping the *ist as I'm told I can play about with IR filters. I want my photography to remain a hobby and not become a chore

Isn't it the way of the world, I wont say what I paid for my telly but that was 5 yrs ago so I've had 5yrs enjoyment instead of waiting till the price dropped

Well there's nothing worth watching on the telly till Terra Nova starts

The story of my life

I think someone mentioned the war, and think they got away with it
