Re: story 3 of the new APS-C flagship

Well, PJ, I disagree. My wife has a K70, and the user interface is a mess if one is accustomed to anything from the K10D onwards. I have never handled a KP, but its battery is tiny and its AF is poor, even by Pentax standards, and its user interface resembles neither the K10-7-5-3’s nor the

Re: story 3 of the new APS-C flagship

I wonder how customers will appreciate the lack of this feature. Of around 20 DSLR's now offered on the market only 2 low budget and 4 top professional (sport)camera's have a fixed screen. None of the  mirroless camera's (except one Leica) has a fixed screen. For nature photography (flowers,

Re: story 3 of the new APS-C flagship

I wouldn't say it was a wrong decision.  If you want an APS-C Pentax with a tilt or flip screen there are two current models that suffice.   A KP or a K70.  Even thought I don't particularly want either they are great bargains at the moment, about half what I expect the new flagship to debut

Re: September PUG is up

It is a smaller gallery, but I find it satisfying. My favorite is Brian's "Pickets and Shadows." Wonderful geometry and nice handling of the shadows. I think the distance street with its homes and traffics adds something as well -- context, I guess. I also like Ann's "Providence, Rhode

It's hard to believe it's been ten years since the early-morning earthquake that made us think how lucky we, as a city, were to escape serious harm. We had no idea of what was to come a few months later. http://gallery.multi.net.nz/photo/1089/#peso Cheers, Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail
