    Canon 7D or Pentax K5 ?

    Ive enjoyed reading the above posts. I am constantly considering the purchase of a K-5 for my Sigma 150 500 but I just seem to get a long so well with the K-x. Someone said that the images are down to the photographer and not the equipment. I am a great believer in this :t:

    Canon 100-400mm v Sigma 150-500mm

    l have been using my Siggy 150 500 on my Pentax k-x for about three months now and have to say am thrilled with the results. It annoys me when I hear people diss this lens in favour of the Canon zooms and primes (although i do intend in going that way in the future) because of "stopping down"...
