"squeeze in a few hours of seeing the sights"  --  Squeezed for time seems key.  Whenever time is limited, esp. in a place I've not been before, I tend to carry a zoom to maximize opportunistic...

With heavy lenses, be aware that the 5 lens mount screws on the body are VERY SHORT.  They don't have very much purchase into the body.  The DA12-24 ripped the mount from my K-7 in a windblown...

Several months ago Pentax announced an imminent upgrade of the 360FGZ with swivel, not just tilt.  I have seen no word since then, and blue painter's tape continues to hold my old 360's battery...

More significant from Pentax than the three particular new cameras: "newly architected supply chain management system that is built to empower consumers to design the product they want." This is...

Yes, I saw that.  The concept behind the ad is obviously getting newer, better stuff to replace the old items the burglars are taking.  The ad writers must have felt the K-01 looked sleek, which it...

Mine failed to share to Facebook after an apparently okay share action.

Placed 38^th in the challenge. Zagreb trolley tracks near Jelacic Square.

Nice deal.  Another nice deal -- Amazon has the red K-30 for $486.

That's very cogent advice, thanks for taking the time.  It's indeed a trip where I want to get a lot of pictures, without getting on the nerves of my companions.  I'm in large city hotels only a...

Decisions, decisions.  K-30 with DA17-70 is definitely going.  The DA15mm ltd also goes to get wider interior shots.  CPL's for both and a 2-stop ND to blur waterfalls in Plitvice Nat'l Park. ...

I only mention because I have come to like my blue K-30 better than I had expected, the red seems pretty cool, the colors being something I think other makers might now imitate, and the price is...

Nice picture, and special thanks for getting him/her out of the middle of the road.

. . . yes, the Q with the 06 lens, or a yellow K-01 with the DA70 ltd.
