Yes, the dream has come true - Pentax is the last manufacturer of DSLRs.  I never expected Canon and Nikon to drop them so quickly. So how many people will prefer the optical viewfinder over the ...

The normal zoom range has been about 3x since the invention of the zoom.  So 3.1x wouldn't qualify, no matter what other fine attributes the lens has. I see 5x becoming the new normal as lens ...

The cheaper Lumix 12-60 is good too, I've been very happy with mine.

Maybe not given up waiting, but given up living!  I get the feeling that the Pentax customer base skews pretty old.

Did anybody ever figure out if the original EM5-3 tripod mount was silently upgraded?  Certainly the OM5 might be more rugged if they had any interest in fixing it.

Even if they can, will they see good market acceptance when everything else is transitioning?  Better to be ahead of the curve on this one.

Wow.  I think there are only two lenses in my collection that cost more than that lens hood!

I think discontinuing is more likely.  Would be a shame though.

All my previous comments were about viewing the site in Chrome.  I also have Firefox, and I remember them instituting some ad blocker functionality a while back; in fact I've visited some sites ...

I thought the sky was brilliant too.  What were the chances that there would be a bright spot in just the right place to back illuminate those tail feathers?

I saw the eagle in the side panel highlighting your challenge win, and I could tell there was something special about it even at postage stamp size. Clicked through to see just how stupendous it ...

That has NOT been my experience.  Close it, and it will be back the next post you look at.

I knew it had to be temporary, it was too good to be true.  Ad on the top, ad on the right, and a floater covering the content at the bottom.  And the featured video becomes a floater if you ...

The only time I've ever clicked on an ad it was by accident - because the screen was rearranging just as I was trying to click on something else.  Can't find the back button fast enough.

I'm seeing a lot less ads today, at least as I'm browsing this thread.  Only the one small video, no big panel across the top and no popup at the bottom.  Is somebody listening, or did they just ...

Cropping and resizing/resampling are different things done for different reasons.  I can't see any sense in combining them. One thing for sure, I never delete the original.  In fact I might keep ...

Might be a very bad reference to this: The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again

You don't understand, they're lots worse now.  6 months ago I think they were bearable, today they're not.

The kit lens being offered is a good one too.

A minute ago I saw the ad panel on the right become utterly useless.  I couldn't see one ad because another ad was covering half of it!  Even as I write this, it's gotten worse - one ad is ...
