Ghm...
The maximum ISO is just 1250.
I was glad to see the turn-knob for the shutter setting
(that was one of the reasons I bought Pentax ZX-5n some 12 years ago),
but I was disappointed that so many settings are hidden in the menu.
Anyway, I won't be able to afford it any time soon.

It's not as big as it looks. I had a play with one last year and it's very
light while retaining a high quality feel. The viewfinder is the best I've
ever looked through by a long, long margin. I'm expecting to win the lottery
this weekend, so I'll probably buy a couple of those next week.

what chassis we will see. Hoya have put a premium on size, so

reflector? It's not like they just started up and are 'making do'

To be brutally honest, the K20D is a much better camera than I am a
photographer; the number of pictures where the camera is the limiting
factor on the quality is pretty small. Having said that, I have two
gripes: It's too big and the high-ISO isn't there. Looks like the K7

According to a posting on the

A little simple mathematics shows that the area of each circle is
