Hi @luftfluss - the M 4/3 you are referring to are the GRIII and GRIIIx? What are the Q lenses for? This is where I am getting lost when I visit the Ricoh website.
thanks

Hi mates
I've been away from the forum for a while. I earlier had Pentax K-r. I now own a bridge camera from Panasonic Lumix FZ1000. Since I was away for a while, lost track of whats going on in the Pentax world.
Could you all please suggest some (Pentax) compact body camera/small dslr that can support compact affordable prime lenses (normal (35mm) and one medium zoom (50mm or 80 mm range) with wide aperture). If possible, the body to have inbuilt stabilization and 4K video support. I don't mind a fixed lens but with wide-open aperture or a single focal length compact.
When I visit the Ricoh website it is very confusing, it mentions Q lens but not sure where the bodies are listed. Only a handful of models are there - maybe I am missing something.
Thanks in advance.

I will also suggest 'One Light' video workshop DVD (maybe now in MP4 format) / probably can check youtube - might be there.

I do this most often as closing the other eye causes jittering movement on the camera body (maybe I am close my eyes so hard) and also causes some eye strain. I close the other eye only during clicking. When I am in bright sun light also, I just can't keep both eyes open as it becomes too difficult to see through the viewfinder. Closing the other eye during these times helps me see what is in the viewfinder. Yes, during these times I press and close the other eye that it has sometime stressed me out. :D

This argument from a new phone owner has always been there and I don't believe this is (as always) not something only new iPhones are bringing into the marketplace. This is the same case with other branded phones as well and in fact those phones have already reached where iPhone is aspiring to be now, mainly the zooms.
Having said that limitations are always there and will continue to be a fact in small form factor. Therefore these can never replace a DSLR at least in near long term. But it is also a fact that, for video production - yes phone cameras have already started to excel and could be a challenge in the near term.

Taking Selfie with DSLR:
I am sure many veterans including amateurs will already be practicing this intuitively. Still I am no expert but wanted to share this as a short quick tips just for the sake of getting into this giveaway :). In this age of selfie, this tip might get some prominence. If you already have a wireless remote shutter for your low light shots (very affordable ones, just for a few dollars, are available all over the internet if you don't already have one), connect it by enabling the 'remote shutter' option in your camera setting.
Lift he camera up in your hands with the lens facing you. Point the remote towards the camera from your other hand and press the shutter button to release the shot.
Some precaution before the selfie:
1. Before you go for the shot, set your exposure before hand point to where you will stand and lock the focus if possible.
2. Feel free to increase the ISO to enable a quick shutter - to avoid any blur from hand movement.
3. If required enable the flash on a bright sunny day.
4. Increase the aperture size to increase the field of play so there is good coverage beyond you to cover your background.
5. Go wide angle on your zoom or use a wide prime lens.
6. Always try put your camera mode to 'multiple shots' so at least you can make few moments with your hand to make sure at least one of the shot has captured you in the proper frame.
Enjoy your DSLR Selfie shots!

My Christmas gift from self! backshell protective case for my backup camera :) Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Always trying to explore ways giving it the same level of treatment as my dear Pentax K-r. Getting a 50 mm lens will be great too as a second gift from 'Pentaxforums'. (The photograph itself was taken using Note 5)

@Nicolas06 , are the photos on flickr all taken with the 35mm? They all look well exposed and sharp. What is the aperture on this photo above?

Casual walkaround shots taken during July 2014!
---------- Post added 08-05-14 at 01:39 PM ----------
Hi @Nicolas06, thanks for the descriptions. I am no expert therefore my understanding with aperture was as I open it wide say f2.4 in this case I would have thought there is very shallow depth of field and have never tried to capture a complete scene till now - I was only going for this aperture, given the shallow depth, to take portraits or single objects.
I am just realising that I can also shoot streetscapes and night scenes but this brings up a question, where would your focus point be on your streetscape...!?
Secondly, in the second photograph where the boats are docked with mountains in the background - why did you go for f3.2, normally we would go with f8 or something around a small aperture..?
thanks for sharing all this as I am learning by seeing all this.
cheers!
