They are known to overstate the capacities, but work quite well and have decent circuitry inside. Probably better with the DSTE charger which will have been designed to charge them properly.

Does anyone know if the DSTE charger LED changes colour as they are recharged.

This is possibly a more reliable page. These guys know what
they are talking about......

Note: Only the P30T is mentioned. The T refers to the Titanium
colour apart from that is there and difference to the P30N?

Later K1000's were made in China by Phoenix.

It's not often that I'm gobsmacked looking at a website
This one by the NY Times really stopped me in my tracks.

Probably better to go through the following Pentaxians website first for a bit of background info/introduction....

Just look at how the images are presented and blended in.

Absolutely terrible... Too much whitespace Not quite as bad as Flickr, but still like some of the old badly designed sites such as Photo.net....

http://photo.net/pentax-camera-forum/00VuZj

And why do sites give such prominence to Facebook and Twitter.... I don't think many on here bother with them. I'm sure SRS will be happy that you have moved them lower down for the FaceTwits

If it ain't broke don't fix it

The Z-1p and Z-1 use the same cap it has a slightly speckled
black finish. I've got both cameras as well as the SFX and SFXn.

The Z-1p cover has an extreme curvature to blend in with
the streamlined contours of the body.

The SFX was flat and square to the body. It rises slightly
at the top so that it can be prised off with a thumbnail.

Sorry I don't have the part no. for the thumbnail

I second that suggestion. The Z-1p and grip is the most
touchy/feely/sensual camera/grip I have ever had the pleasure
of owning/holding. Also feels very secure.
