It's already available on other FF cameras. Some even have a selectable 4:3 ratio which is handy for 10x8 inch prints. I think the top ones have Square format as well.

Samsung cards would have strolled through a washing machine!

Reliable 5 Proof Technology protects your precious data Samsung Memory cards can endure 24 hours submerged in water and survive being run over by a 1.6ton vehicle (SDHC, SDXC), not to mention the perils of airport X-ray machines, magnetism and extreme temperatures. So your memories will survive ­ even if your camera doesn’t. Trust Samsung with your precious moments.

Why are you linking to such an idiotic and anti-Pentax site

Hopefully the mods will delete your post.

Unless you have a very expensive FULL Retail copy of Windows 7 it can't be moved to a new machine. If it's an OEM version it's up to the OEM and their agreement with MS. The new machine would have to be the same make as the old one for any chance of this being even considered. Then you have the problem of finding new drivers for everything.

It's easier to just get a new PC and reinstall all the software. You might have to de-register it on the old PC first.

The old drives probably worn out and slow so buy an external USB 3.0 drive and transfer all important files to it or copy the full drive and then delete what you don't want.

The old drive might be IDE which is now obsolete and causes problems on new PC's when you also have SATA drives.

Must get one!

Hardly anything between my two. The 37A is later and some are MC. Mines the Olympic games version from 1979/80 (looks to be MC). There is usually sample variation with Russian lenses.

This page also has links to two sets of tests.
