I find it difficult to remove the memory card from the K5, after it has ejected. Compared to the K20 there seems a lot less room to get your fingers in. Or is it just me and my arthritis!!!

It appears the same with the K7.

I find that there's a knack - if you push and release slowly then you have to grip and pull out the card. On the other hand, if you push in to release and let it 'flick' out then it comes out easily.

...I still wish it wasn't quite so fiddly

Lurking is shirking.!

Push in with nail of finger on corner of memory card, quickly remove nail ... watch memory card fly past ear over to the other side of the room.

I had heard the stories of the K7 and checked when I got the K5. No serious difficulties at all.
