Thanks - another consideration. Having thought about the Aperture Block
problem overnight (or more accurately during the night) I decided that I
didn't want a camera that began with a potential problem - especially
one that would probably appear a month after the warranty ended. K-70
order cancelled!
I'll do some more research. It may be that Pentax have sorted this, but
I haven't seen any evidence either way. I also need to look at the other
options.

Welcome back Alastair!
I went from the istD to the K-10D to the K-7 and then to the K-5 (which I’m
still using almost 10 years later).
The K-5 has a higher-resolution sensor with =much= better low-light performance
than the K-7; and the colors are almost as good as those of the K-10.
My wife has a K-70, and IMHO the user interface is not nearly as good as any of
the others.
Cheers,
Rick

I've just re-joined PDML after about 10 years - not that my absence would have
been noticeable as I was mainly a lurker. Work became too busy and the bridge
camera was more portable than the K20D when weight was an issue. However the
Lumix's focussing is too slow for a fast moving 2 year old grandson, and it's
been good to use the Pentax more. I might even be tempted to put batteries and
film in the LX... And should I upgrade the K20D, now that I am retired and
supposedly have more time? A better low light sensor would be good and the K-70
will probably suit, but I must do more research.
I recognise many of the same names as 10 years ago, some of whom I met at the
2005 London PDML at Borough Market and the London Eye. I'm enjoying not just
the Pentax discussions and photos, but of course the eclectic OT discussions
ranging from US domestic voltages to Covid-19 antibody responses. As a
microbiologist with an interest in the history of disease, the horrors of the
past year have held a morbid fascination, but hopefully we will all be safely
allowed out soon.
BTW, is there still a digest version?
back to lurking
