Congratulations! So the K7 is roughly around SGD1.3K? How come SG airport duty free priced it at SGD2.3K when I saw it there yesterday?

Does anyone recommend lens cleaning paper? Any bad experiences with it?

My very first ebay purchase was a GBP1.00 Miranda lens from a seller in the UK. I bought this not because it was a good lens but rather to test ebay and see how efficient our local post office works. It took a long time for the lens to arrive (maybe 1 month) but it did and I got my first...

Very nice shots! I'm just curious, do you need to ask permission before taking any portrait shots of strangers...or they weren't aware at all? BTW, the last time I was in SG (Jan '08), I had a very nice time taking pictures at Fort Canning. Not sure if you want to consider that place for...

Is this different from the Ownuser grip from Taiwan? I recently bought a Dicain shuttergrip from Korea and it works well with the K100D. It's purely a vertical shutter though.

Not sure if there is a change in IQ, probably not. But the optional battery grip and weather sealing in the K200D makes it more attractive.

It will look less "professional", I guess. I wouldn't even consider a using big DSLR in pastel colors. :D
