That's a lovely image Ilias, but rather than just posting a link to Flick it's best to paste the picture into the post - more people will see it that way. To do that, on the image in Flickr, click the Share post button (the arrow pointing right), select BB Code, select the size in the dropdown box (PF prefers no more than 1024 on the long side), then copy the code from the box (at least between and including the first url tags).

I have to say that I don't regret at all having traded the K-3 for the K-S2. With the K-S2 I might actually shoot JPEG again sometimes - this is a SOOC JPEG:

I think it can't be overstated how nice the colors of the K-S1 and K-S2 are (for CMOS cameras, especially). If my former K-3 was capable of giving me greens like this, I would still have it! And pinks, yellows and oranges of the 20MP sensor are also so much better - well, you get the idea, The K-3 was on par with reds and I think skin tones were almost as good, but that was about it(*). I think it's all of the colors really. This is the only sensor that Pentax has used, that I think can give similar results to CCD cameras (but the 10MP CCD in my K200D and K10D still has an edge especially when the sun is out - in my humble opinion).

(*) I'm talking about the color information that the camera puts out before you do a whole lot of color management, which I admittedly am not all that good at doing.
