thing is can we do 6,000 posts in two days?technically, it's not that difficult - there's usially between about 90 and 180 members online at any given time - and if each of them (us) posted only 10 times, we'd rip through it - but I don't think that there's been any day yet where it's actually been achieved...

I think we should give it a go

If you're in the top 10, the easiest was is to click on the Pentax forums logo and scroll to the bottom of the page

The KP is something like P60,000 and the k-1 is something like P95,000. So, I'll be short by P25,000. If I win, I'll sell it buy my first KP and keep the extra cash for a while. Then, I'll rob a bank and get the second KP.

I hope my plan works.

I can't see anything that could possibly go wrong

If I won, I would pair it up on a slide rail beside my current K-1, beg/borrow/or steal a second FA 31mm f1.8, splice a wired remote for two outputs, and then attempt to take simultaneous side-by-side shots that would stitch together into a seamless, high-definition panorama.

Just 'cause I've been curious as to whether it would work for circumstances like waves crashing at a beach, where a regular pano setup wouldn't be feasible.

Then I'd promise myself I'd sell the second body ( if the panoramas didn't work ), but it would probably sit on the shelf alongside all the other camera gear I've been promising myself to sell . . . .

Good question. Since I do not enter the raffle's, I never think about winning the camera. I am waiting for t he K-3 sucsessor......

I can't see anything that could possibly go wrong there, either

Keep and use it for sure.
I might keep my K-3 as a lighter solution for mountaineering though.
But maybe I should stop thinking in what ifs and win it first

I have a big family European holiday planned for Autumn. It'll be an important part of my kit. So this was meant to be. Can't see how I could possibly not win!
