That's pretty much my thinking, too. Thanks for checking it for me :-) I've taken a look at the sample image gallery on dpreview, and it looks pretty good. Many of the images there are taken with the 14-42 lens (which is what my wife would want), and even pixel-peeping shows no show-stopper flaws. Performance at ISO 1600 looks fine, too (the last image in the gallery, at ISO 1600, may be of particular interest to a Pentax list). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
