Lost photos downloaded
I recently very stupidly wiped a whole load of shots from my computer after I had downloaded them from my Pentax K7 via a card reader and had gone through the formatting of the card in the camera. I have a recovery programme on my computer which not only recovered the "lost" shots, but also those...

Safari in Tanzania
'Lo All Just back from a fantastic safari in Tanzania taking in the Ngorongoro crater, Lake Manyara and the Serengeti. Hopefully I'll post some photos soon to get some feedback from you good people but, understandably, there are a couple of thousand to sort through and it might take me a while.....

Safari in Tanzania
Welcome back. Three of my all time favourite places :D. Look forward to your photos. Did you stay in tented camps or lodges? Who did you go with? Just curious - I hope to go back there one day and am grateful for feedback :wink:. I had only my Ds and Tamron 28-300 with me when I went, but that ...

Safari in Tanzania
We were in lodges rather than camps. I would have liked to camp but as it was a honeymoon I didn't have the casting vote... We went with Somak as people had recommended them as being very good. Although the package was good I wasn't impressed with them as a company - we had some flight problems...

Safari in Tanzania
Thanks for that Wobbly. Interesting comments. I will still have a look at Somak. I too loved the Serengeti. I liked Ngorongoro but I probably wouldn't go again. We were in luxury tented camps which were great. We went in February so were there for the wildebeest migration and calves. We saw one b...

got a car to fix first, but Dad and I are really hoping to be there later on. We want to play with the 645D! PS little sisters K-x is fantastic, she loves it. I suspect she'll be back in for a macro prime as soon as she can gather the necessary resources.

SRS Open Day - 9th October
Having had 2x pre-production K-7s, I can confirm that there was no auto focus, no manual controls (ie ISO etc.) or anything else 'missing' in the 2 models I had the privilege of testing. What I saw for video in those 2 models is exactly what I got in my retail version. If you use lenses with ...

SRS Open Day - 9th October
Just back from SRS - Yep fell for it. £20 down on the K5 - Stunning. I think probably better balanced with the Grip attached. (Anyone got a s/h K7 Grip??) The 645D is a lovely animal too but different can of fish and not for me. Nice to see the Pentax name on such a beast. (That's enough mixed meta...

Just back from SRS - Yep fell for it. £20 down on the K5 - Stunning. I think probably better balanced with the Grip attached. (Anyone got a s/h K7 Grip??) I bought one of the cheap Chinese jobs for the K-7 (which I have kept just in case) purely for the size/balance. Not as well made but did what ...

SRS Open Day - 9th October
Well my daughter and family were there for the day and in a moment of vindictive maliciousness MMS'd me a photo of my granddaughter holding a K5 Kids know how to screw up their parents. Greg Ha, they should have sent a picture of her holding a 645D. Actually, thinking about it, the only thing...

- K5 high-iso is better than the Kx (!), it looked good at 6400, anything higher was clearly noisey. That isn't so important how many times would you shoot at those settings, how was it at ISO200 and lower! :) Better than the K20D/K7? - the DA* 50-135 still focuses slowly, clearly lens-limited n...

SRS Open Day - 9th October
Sorry Hyram, didn't see your earlier request. I didn't handle the K-r. It was on a separate stand to the K5 . They had plenty behind glass, but only a couple of examples, which were by the compacts strangely enough. What I saw of it it looks great, very small, but usable. A young man next to m...

Cloud storage
I use Carbonite which backs up everything. If there was a total disaster I could get everthing back.

Cloud storage
Another option for online storage would be Mozy. Similar to Carbonite it can back up your entire HD if you want. They offer a free 2GB package, or a US$5 per month unlimited package. I've used both and they work as advertised. The app runs in the background, you just tell it what folders to backup a...
