This is really top drawer.

Can we willingly accept the word of thieves who say 10 or less clients saw this stolen photo? Small issue I realise but probably the thin end of the stolen wedge.

You say, "I decided to sell the Nikon gear and move to Pentax.". Not looking for exact details but was that difficult to do? Did you sell via E-Bay or trade in? I would imagine that you suffered a...

I do not own a K-30 but may buy it or the K5II any day now as I am seeking to upgrade. But I have a lot of experience and knowledge of Pentax and I currently have Pentax gear. Pentax are not touted...

Thanks for your extensive report on the K5IIs. It is enlightening and helpful. I too cannot test such hardware, first hand, and rely on what I read. I am thinking about the K5II but you selected...

I have seriously thought about buying the 18-135 lens and have read some really good stuff about its build quality and optical performance and it has WR. While WR is an asset it is not something I...

Agree - buy a video camera if you want one.

Good news - can you provide the link to obtain the Pentax Q firmware update? That would be much appreciated.

They say every pic tells a story and that a pic is worth a thousand words. Truly that is the case demonstrated here. I have struggled with the idea of buying this camera being afraid of seduction...
