I almost bought that on a whim as well but thought better of it - not based on any knowledge, just that I have enough stuff acquired this way!

I guess you saw the link on TP bargain section

Nope, I am surprised by this as there doesn't seem to be anything that XP couldn't handle.

I run Windows 7 64bit and find the performance of 4 exactly the same as 3.6 - both work fine with no performance issues.

If you shoot a lot in portrait you may find it easier to hold.

I have a grip for my K10D and have never used it. Mine cost about £30 new when Jessops were clearing them. For me, it wasn't worth the money.

I have K10D and GX20 and don't see any difference between the two screens, though neither of them are great if bright sunshine. The K10D has a screen protector on it (the film type) and the GX20 doesn't have anything on it.

Take the screen protector off and see if it's any better? The screens are tough anyway and don't really need additional protecting ...

I'd guess you're local shop doesn't know what he's talking about?

Wish I had more money but I'm sure these will sell.

I thought ObiOne worked for SRS after reading his message?

Very nice and sharp! I shall be trying this for the first time tomorrow

I've only just realised that they aren't wearing little 'post it notes'

Don't see a problem with it as pretty much everything else is sold the same way these days including the UK

Fantastic set, especially no 2.

That Sigma Lense is fantastic (I have one ) and am very pleased to see it's just as good on a K5 as my GX20
