In my experience most components faults are at delivery causing unnecasary time and effort in diagnosing the fault and then waiting for an RMA from component stores like ebuyer or Aria etc which can take a long period of time to rectify as they test the faulty parts. There is also the time waiting i...

Once again thank you to everyone for the advice. I am trying to keep the cost down on this build however i might afford myself the luxury of an 840 pro to keep the programs on. robbiec I think I'll take your recommendation and max out on the ram to avoid the need for a scratch disk, but I do like ...

Intelligent Zoom?
Vic - my guess would be that when you are taking a landscape shot (for example), the camera "knows" what the subject is intended to be, so rather than focussing on a distant horizon, it chooses to focus on an object situated "middle-ground", and possibly incorporates a degree of DOF to the image.......

Intelligent Zoom?
it sounds to me like it crops at the sensor then applies an algorithm to to bring the "resolution" back up to 10 mp...

External drives and back ups for Mac

External drives and back ups for Mac
Dave - the one thing that jumped out at me in your post was "while on the road". For this reason, I'd strongly suggest that you give serious consideration to cloud storage. You might think you are paying a "fortune" for such a storage medium, but if you try to balance it out, how much will it cost y...

External drives and back ups for Mac
Hi Dave 17" MBP (2010) and Aperture 3 user here too! As we also have a Mac Pro at home we have used a different approach. In the MBP, I replaced the HDD with an SSD, then put the HDD where the superdrive was. This gives 2 internal drives with the best of both worlds, speed and storage. Working li...

PPI
72ppi was the old Mac screen pitch way, way back which is possibly where he got it from (I believe Windows was always quoted as 96ppi). Two suggestions. Take the easy way out and change the resolution to 72ppi to keep him happy. Or (try to) prove your point by sending him the same pic with diffe...

A Pentax in Afghanistan
I know it's war and all that, but even guests of Her Majesty's pleasure get a better deal than this. Great pic's and brave boys and girls but there's definitely something not right about this world. Not a lot of 5-star places in Helmand province, and the bases are changed often enough that it isn't ...

A Pentax in Afghanistan
Not a lot of 5-star places in Helmand province, and the bases are changed often enough that it isn't worth building permanent structures. From the Persians to the Yanks there's always some foreign power trying to impose their will (civilization) on the Afghans and getting beat up bad for it. This...

K-5 firmware update 2013
Can anybody explain to me just why we are the poor relation to other Pentax users across the World? When it comes to updating our firmware why must we go to Japan or other World sites to get the download? In itself this is obviously not a problem but all other World users are given the courtesy ...

Wide angle for K 30, where can I get one please?
The 18mm end of your own lens is a wide angle. Only invest, and none of them are cheap, in a wider lens if you consistently find yourself unable to get everything into the picture. For the the avoidance of doubt, depth of field is the amount sharply in focus between the camera and the far distance. ...

Wide angle for K 30, where can I get one please?
In fact if you want to try some wide angle lenses I can recommend using SRS and hiring one: Easy to do, call up say what you want and when. All delivered securely and with a bag to put it all back in when you finished to be collected by the courier. Simples.

Wide angle for K 30, where can I get one please?
Hi Aura There is always the option of buying an older 'manual focus' lens. As Ken says, your 18-55 is already wide angle at the 18mm end, so this will give you plenty of depth of field. There are numerous wide-angle 'prime' lenses for sale on ebay, on this forum and elsewhere, but not many will...

backup software
Windows 8 now has an excellent facility called 'File history' which backs up in range from every ten minutes to daily and has individual files immediately available in the back up device rather than a compressed total restore as in the past. I think it's excellent as is Windows 8 now I'm used to it.
