One can still obtain new K-5 cameras Beach Camera, last I checked, had them for about $100 less than the K-5II through Amazon. On 10/7/2013 8:06 PM, Bruce Walker wrote: On Mon, Oct 7, 2013 at 7:41 PM, Larry Colen l...@red4est.com wrote: On Mon, Oct 07, 2013 at 05:03:26PM -0400, Eric Weir

If found this site, that some of you may already be aware of, that just compares camera sizes and weights. To my surprise the K-5 was lighter than the Canon T4i. Nevertheless, I will be going again with Canon. But it's still a fun site... And by the way, if I was going just for image

p.s. I just weighed the K5 with the FA 50mm, and it came in at 2 and 1/4 pounds--nearly half the weight of the entire kit. The K5 with the DA 40 mounted weighs nearly 2 pounds, about a 1/4 pound less. The body of the K5 weighs 1 and 3/4 pounds. And interestingly, the extra battery in my

Christine, I keep lusting after a new camera, particularly those Fuji's after seeing Doug's stuff and reading Cotty. But the K-5 and K-5IIs are so good... I grabbed a white K-01 as they were closing out. It's actually surprisingly good with a tiny lens, but not so small. It rides around in the car

That should never have happened - there's not that much vibration from the garbage grinder. The manufacturer should be willing to replace the sink. Repairs on a crack like that are just a stop-gap measure. Is the sink Swanstone or Corian? -p On 10/5/2013 10:59 AM, Bob Sullivan wrote:

I think Insinkerator only made one model that turned on like that. Supposedly a safety feature so you couldn't stick one had inside it and turn it on with the other. As I remember, it's somewhat more expensive than their other models and doesn't necessarily do any better grinding job. If you
