Hi
I have recently gone back to Pentax and bought myself the K3.
For a few years I used the Canon D5 mkII but this is not a camera that you want to carry for any amount of time. So I'm back with Pentax.
Also the image quality on the Canon persuaded me to go back as I was totally dissatisfied with the colour rendition of the Canon.
I used to have two camera bodies the iSTD and the K-10D, now I have the one, the K3.
So now I'm back.
I live in the Netherlands with my wife and have a shop in our local town.
Best
Simon

Interesting that you pointed it out...I never like the colour rendition of the Canon models either (my friends have 5D, 5DMK II, 6D etc.). Many times, I shoot along side with them, and found the colour of their images were off, sometimes by a lot, but I don't feel like telling them the 'truth' to make them feel bad, as they paid a lot of money for their Canon gear.

BTW, welcome back!!

Hi Everyone, Dag iedereen,
Thank you for your welcome. And yes, my car was a 2CV (in Dutch, eend), then a 2CV on steroids, (Burton) now looking forward to my next car, which will be something similar.
Bedankt u voor uw welkom. En ja, mijn auto was een 2CV, dan was het een 2CV op steroïden, (Burton) en nu ik kijk uit naar mijn volgende auto, die iets dergelijks zal zijn.

An yes looking forward to shooting with my K3.
