80 USD - that WAS a bargain, the FleaBay regular selling price is about double for the EOS 400 + 50/1,8. Still, it takes great pictures for that money!

Syncing at half-pressing the shutter, like the AF....

No, because was already in news on 11 September. This is one day before yesterday, Yake. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-41235131

This already old news...

Could also have a look to K-3II which offer a better AF system as K-5, GPS and some other nice things at a very reasonable price.

Number one is fabulous, and nr. 6 is great. K-3II is indeed a great camera!

If finnaly proven to be true, the sensor would be more likely Sony. But the money and (probably) some expertise will come more likely from a chinese company.

Your house upside down! Very cool!

At one, aperture. Also the resolution is supposed to be much better compared with a regular lens. And probably a plat field.

Not sure I will precisely address your questions, but here is what's my understanding. 1. There's no IP rating, therefore no precise frame/methodology for testing. 2. The sealing/O-rings definitely ...

Weight is right - huge pentaprism & metal chasis count here. Love or hate them - it's your call, but they are qulity features. Get used with a nice pentaprim and you won't go back to pentamirror....

http://uncle-rods.blogspot.com/ A very enjoyable lecture and also quite a lot about astrophotography,  just have to dig a bit. Have fun! Val
