John.

So true!! I have a Uni-loc (from about 1997), but am not sure which system it is. They do require attention and practice.
Mine doesn't go very high; ie I am a tad under 6 foot and sometimes have wished the tripod could go about 3 inches higher

Not sure that's a requirement.
Probably done by moving the whole sensor 1 pixel - then each physical pixel position will be exposed to each of the colours.

Ah - you're probably right Matt

Excellent - and even tho' flash was used, for handheld, managed not to wobble back and forth too much so that the important bit (the head etc) is in focus! Was that a green aphid being gobbled in front of her?

Pentax has not been particularly proactive in pushing these sorts of improvements down the chain.
The high res mode seems an easy addition to any camera with capable hardware, which is like down to the k100d. It would be interesting to see if this eventuates as a firmware update or not.

Other brands, in a world outside the scope of this forum, are better at this post purchase support and I feel it's something Pentax/Ricoh could improve on or learn from.

I don't see how they could replicate the hi-res mode back down the line. Pentax's implementation is to move the RGBG filter separate to the sensor. If I understand it correctly, they need to shake mechanisms; one for the SR we know and the AA simulator, and a separate one just to move the filter now separated from the sensor

After posting realised how this could have been taken; didn't mean to imply you don't have fun doing archaeology - sorry!

I love the way the top half displays, then you have to scroll down to find the unexpected bit at the bottom

sort of the same for me; can't quite get the whole of the portrait oriented images on screen in one go

This is well spotted Kris. The Bath stonework is fabulous isn't it?! Are/ were you in Bath for archaeological purposes, or for fun?
