Are you PENTAX MAN ?
Do I need to be excommunicated and hand in my Pentax equipment and go back to point and shot :cry: Absolutely, I'll be round to confiscate your gear. Although even a P&S camera is of limited use in solitary confinement. :lol::lol::lol: Only kidding, of course not Jeanette. I'm occasionally guilty...

Mobile backup solutions?
An advantage of SSD over HDD which hasn't been mentioned is that SSD is OK at high altitudes where HDDs are not. Michael First time hearing that one Micheal, do you want to enlighten us and explain why? I'm also wandering why people take a laptop with them for the simple reason to back up the ...

Mobile backup solutions?
I'm also wandering why people take a laptop with them for the simple reason to back up the flash card. Any reasons behind that besides that you may lose the SD card? We take a laptop on holiday, one each actually, so that we can download and view the pictures, keep putting one on EPZ every day and...

Mobile backup solutions?
[quote="simonkit"]What happens if you lose one of those memory cards? About the same as losing a film except you'd lose more images. I've never lost a film. Anybody else ever lost one (other than in the post)? Which is another idea, post your used cards back home. Hmmm, maybe not.

Mobile backup solutions?
One of the specs of a HDD is the maximum altitudes for reliable use, and transport, around 35000ft for transport I think. If carried in hand luggage, any HDD is fine as the cabin pressure is equal to around 8000ft. It's also fine in the luggage hold if that is also pressurised, but you may not kn...

Mobile backup solutions?
I just came back from holidays. On this trip I simply backed up my memory cards to hard drive and USB stick (I brought 24GB worth). My plan was to not erase the SD cards until they were all full. That way I'd have three copies of everything. This never happened as it turned out. If I would have n...

Photgraphing under 18s
Don't be a victim. A sporting event in a public place is fair game. Certainly be respectful but don't make a meal of it and I don't think the father was going to. Sounds to me like he had the right idea at the outset. It also sounds like he works with young people and hence has a good understandi...

Photgraphing under 18s
A local guy round here was just snapping away at some kids in a big park we have here a good few years back and someone cried wolf. He ended up in the nick for 12+ hours and being treated like scum and all he was doing was just taking photo's nothing more... Exactly... Ive had the misfortune of...

Photgraphing under 18s
Back on topic :wink: I had a word with the guys at the cricket club. They were more than happy for me to take photos. I gave them a few prints from the adult match I watched a couple of weeks ago, to win them over. I also offered to email them any decent shots I got, at this stage I'm not too bo...

Lens for aerial photography
You use whatever lens gives you the coverage you need. It can be ANY lens. Forget about the speed of the lens if you are shooting during daytime. Even if you are flying at 200 km/h, things down there won't be moving out too fast due to your height. Use a good polarizer to avoid glare in the glas...

Copying colour negatives
You could always get a Negative scanner. I had a great one a few years back. It was a Canon transparency scanner that I sadly had to sell to pay a large bill off... I really didnt want to sell it... If you can still get hold of one they are superb!

Are You Satisfied
I am still coming to grips with the K-7 and at times I have put it back in the bag and grabbed the K20, I am finding I am being overly critical with shots from the K-7 and just looking for a reason to be disappointed, I was never like that with the K20. Time will tell I guess. But I do love ...

Are You Satisfied
I bought the *ist D as soon as it came out, upgrading from the MZ50. That was a great first camera, but a tad small, once the grip was on it was great. That really was a great camera. It was when I turned pro I started finding faults with it, especially the noise. Then I bought the K10 and that w...

My "Upgrade" Path ME Super (Stolen) Nikon FA Konica Minolta Z2 (Dead) K100D My first digital was bought to supplement the FA and I didn't like it at all. Electronic view finder! Terrible - 10x Zoom lens but no wider than 38mm. I eventually learned to live with it until one day it refused ...

A bargain...possibly?
I bought one of those Microtrekkers when they were mentioned on here. Found it uncomfortable,bit too small and sat rather high on my back My wife bagged it for work to replace her ageing Vaude rucksack. Took all the dividers out, so if anyone could use them just say the word Cheers Rich

External hard drive?
I suspect it depends on whether you are using their 'back up' software program or simply using it as additional capacity. If it is what I think , then don't use their backup program and simply open it in windows explorer and drag and drop files from your pc onto it
