Greetings from Cambridge!

Hello!

I'm currently living in Cambridge (UK), though I mainly take photos while traveling. At the moment my most used camera is a Sigma DP1, which I find to be a great little travel camera, especially when combined with a couple of filters, a lens hood, and a peli case to hold them.

Although I currently have a Sigma SD10 (and 15-30mm EX, 24-70mm EX, and 70-300mm lenses), I am contemplating buying a K-7, K-5, or K-R to replace it. The main attraction of Pentax is the size, weather sealing, built-in stabilization, and low-light image quality. The Sigma SD15 just seems too expensive for what it is, while the SD1 seems like complete overkill for my amateur/enthusiast needs, though it may turn out to be an amazing studio camera.

So I'm currently lurking a bit, and will update when I actually buy a Pentax camera...

Oh, and if you're wondering about my name, I am Danish, and it's pronounced something like "Paul".

Welcome to the Forum. As you know there's a lot of excitement over the new releases. I think I'm going to be upgrading to the K-5 myself. I hope to see your Pentax photos soon.
