Hi all, My name is Joakim Johansson and I'm a new member. I have a question, witch perhaps have been discussed before, about the next Pentax DSLR. Is it possible that Pentax release a new advanced model (a upgrade of the *istD) during 2005, and what can we expect from it if that is the case?

Bob, Chris, Like I said to Fra, I am not looking for 'bird guide' shots - more an unusual shot that will occur by chance in a 3.5fps burst. Not sure which lens will give the best result but I will try the 15mm f3.5 first (with front element protection) and then the 28mm f2.8. I

Hi Fra, Oh, you are quite adventurous. Aren't you afraid of them - ehm - marking your 15mm as birds usually do? Yes, this is a danger, but I do intend to use a protective housing for the camera with a glass panel to protect the lens and some sort of heating system to help preserve batteries.

Actually Collin, (I risk my life by mentioning) I've only recently been getting to know the inbuilt b/w parameters in the 20D. You can shoot b/w RAW if you like, and the camera also seems to be able to emulate several colour filters (red, orange, green, blue etc.). I really like the results I've

I think you will find that most of what you read on photo.net is pretty biased towards Nikon/Canon. About the only things readily believable in the article is that the guy is a slow learner and don't believe everything you read on the net. William Robb - Original Message - From: Jon
