I'd like to know if any of you Pentax veterans can recommend a zoom lens that I can use as an everyday lens --- an 18-200 or something similar. No reason you can't use the 18-55 as an every day lens - many people have. Or get a 502-00 or soemthing else to supplement it with - many people have done that too. But if you're...

Hi Robert, A few years back (around this time) I was going through the Int'l Village /Tinseltown mall with my camera over my shouder (*and both hands in my (jacket) pockets*) when a security guard walked over and mentioned "that taking photos in the mall was not allowed" and my response was "Oh really, well I guess you better call the Riot Squad" The SG said "What ...

Jonska I know photography can be a bit solitary at times but it is very satisfying when you nail a few good ones. Could you get a pack with a laptop compartment and fit maps in there?

I went to see to friends of mine in a duo (saxophone/piano) performance the other day. Peter and Art have worked together for years, and have a duo CD out together, while I had a decent number of pictures of them individually, I had nothing of them together.

Though the target market of these cameras should have a significant number of RAW shooters. Personally, I wouldn't use JPEG for high-ISO shooting in any camera that supports RAW, but for low-ISO JPEG can be more than sufficient, and the color rendering is frequently better than what can be achieved quickly with RAW conversion (it is in most brands).
