Christine,
I absolutely love the 40mm Limited. It is adorable. I don't think I am
qualified to analyze why, but it just takes nicer pictures than the
others. Although the 50-135 is absolutely wonderful (and the 18-55 kit
lens is, well, erm, let's not talk about that...), the pictures taken
etc.
Thanks Marcus.
Cheers, Christine

Hello.
Is there a way to customize the filenames the K200D produces? At first
I was irritated, because the first images I took (DNG) where named
IMGP.DNG, and at some point the camera produced files named
_IGP.DNG (where is the image number). After some
experimenting I found
Save in RAW format, leave the colorspace in sRGB. It's irrelevant
except for in-camera JPEGs.
If you must capture in-camera JPEGs, there's not much you can do
about it if you want Adobe RGB colorspace (which I recommend for JPEG
capture, btw).
Otherwise, use software to transfer the files
Save in RAW format, leave the colorspace in sRGB. It's irrelevant

Ah, thanks, that's valuable information. I shoot RAW only, so that
solves it for me. But I still wonder... why would one name the files
differently depending on the colorspace? Oh well... ;-)

I'm not in any rush to upgrade from the DS but I'll have to look very
closely at the K200D.
The viewfinder issue is one that I'll need to consider - I do wear
glasses. I have no problem with the viewfinder on the DS and I wonder
how much difference a penta-mirror would make. My
Thanks Mark, Godfrey
I understood about colour space and RAW files but I do switch to jpg
quite a bit (shock, horror!!) and wondered why the colour space info
wasn't embedded in them.

It *should* be. Perhaps there's a problem with your camera.

Mark, that's
Yes, that' exactly what I see when opening a jpg in Photoshop.
Not a big issue - just wondering (it's a slow morning here :-) )

Wow. I suppose it's a way of keeping the file sizes

I got the 18-55 kit lens, the DA 40 Limited and the DA*
50-135 with it, and that's really a great setup to get started.
Marcus: How do you like the DA 40 Limited? I'm pretty sure I'm going to
get this lens soon, but
