It's grim up north (London)
I can see why
The hexagonal bokeh is the only thing I might have problems with, but it works wonderfully in the first shot.

Cheers. They're hunting an imaginary fox, of course...

Thanks Stow and dlx1. Those were probably the two I was happiest with from the whole break. Dawn and evening on the same day. I went to the same place 2 years ago with just a pentax point-n-shoot and am pleased with how my skillzors are progressing, and how much difference the D40 makes over the old pentax. Still lots of room for improvement though, I'm not sure I have the courage to return to real film yet.
It's funny, I was desperately in the market for a new camera cos my frustrating piece of junk finally gave way. After MUCH agonising i wanted to get the Nikon D40 or D60 but the size and price put me off for the time being. Will probably get an entry slr in a couple months time but right now I actually went for a Pentax point and shoot a few days ago-mainly for the handiness and amazing compact size
It's proving to be a good 'take everywhere' cam.gamma globulins

Well my pentax is the Optio S which was released in 2003, so it's getting on a bit. While a great carry everywhere camera (I still do), I got it second hand, and the lens has some marks I've been unable to remove, and I had to replace the battery as it used to last about 10 photos when I took it out on cold winter days (the D40 easily managed several hundred this winter, but the battery was new).
The images aren't as crisp, and it doesn't pick up colours as strongly (it especially has trouble with blue skies if there are cloud patches, so unless it's a really clear day, most of my skies look washed out), but is better with greens and reds. I suppose some of this could be fixed with post-processing (something which I've only really got into since getting the SLR, but could retroactively apply to my older images to see how they come out) but the D40 takes much more vibrant images, and has a setting to make the colours even more vivid than those overleaf.
Here's a couple of pictures similar to some of the ones I posted on the previous page - the difference is pretty obvious.

Still relying on those damn electronics of the XA to get that exposure correct so no "REAL photography" yet

Pay homage to Global Bob
So my D70 gave up the ghost a few months ago, I've not been in the groove nor have I really thought about taking any pictures for some time. My Mrs borrows my Ma-in-Law's camera for some stuff and hey presto I get my groove back.
Just wondering whether to go lightweight with an LX3 or go for the Ricoh GR III
