Thanks Jules. Why Pentax / Ricoh can't provide Adobe with the info for SDK is beyond me, we could then use Lightroom for tethered shooting like most other brands and users. This is one feature that Pentax should address asap in my opinion and lets the K3 down.

One of the Phase One videos showed Joe Cornish using an iPad to preview images for remote capture. He said he looks at the landscape upsidedown on the iPad to check if composition still looked good.
Would love to do the same on iPad/Flucard/K3. (Currently have one out of three :roll

I'm really at a loss as to why wifi was not included in the camera body itself.

Maybe their research showed not everyone wants wifi so left it out to keep the price down.

They employed that ethos with GPS and it ended up that those of us who want it had to pay £250 per camera and lose the hotshoe.Maybe their research showed not everyone wants wifi so left it out to keep the price down.
I'm not into this modular approach. Adding GPS and Wifi into the camera without "extras" wouldn't cost that much and would give the camera a perceived good value even for those that didn't initially ( or ever ) want those features.
How may still shooters look at the video specs of a camera and get positive about them even though they probably won't really use them. But the option is there.

The k-3 is already the most expensive apsc body out there they had to keep the price down some how.

Stop dissing Pentax just because your leaving! The k-3 is already the most expensive apsc body out there they had to keep the price down some how.

Personally I like the Card approach, I'd like GPS on a card, aerial would be a problem I guess but I bet it could be done, it's only a damn circuit after all...
Not heading the Dynax route though...
Cheers Jules...

The gps might be small but the antenna needs to be a certain size and it needs a battery. They could have cut down the size a bit if they'd chosen to use an internal rechargeable lithium or found a way to draw power from the flash hot shoe contacts.

The antenna's look pretty small to me
