If you look at the Queen of Hearts Card on the dpreview page
at 3200ISO the K-5 is way better than anything else

Unfortunately that's nowhere near as thrilling as spending a
load of money!

I think Cliff's deleted it
If you click "IMGP5799 -1 by Cliff-P, on Flickr"
it takes you to Flickr and it's not there

Please let me know if you find a solution

I now use a flash trigger, but used to use a small flash on the
camera to trip the slave, bounced to avoid red-eye etc.

If people don't like the Z1-p with it's dual wheels, similar
to a digital SLR plus considering that it can be bought for
about 1/10th of it's original cost there's no way they are
going to like anything bigger than a K-5 Don't
expect people to act sensibly. The MX for instance hasn't
even got AF, programs or motordrive

Perhaps the K-5 will become the digital MX People
will just ignore any big FF cameras and prefer a K-5 in the
same way that they like the MX even though there was about
25-30 years of rapid technological advancement in 35mm
cameras after it. It's a bit like preferring a 1970's
12" B&W TV over a 42" modern LCD..... just doesn't make
sense

If you look back in this forum you will see plenty people
complaining that the K-5 is too big plus the
number of times that small Olys get mentioned. Some
have even moved over to them.

Pentax only need to look at how well their own old cameras sell and how popular
they are with users. Excellent advanced cameras such as the Z-1p
SFXn etc. aren't very popular yet technically challenged small cameras
such as the ME Super and MX are. So unless they can bring out a FF the
same size as an MX they are banging their heads against a brick wall,
because that's what it will be compared with

Last time I looked at the small print it said it effects
only 5% of customers...... Must be a big 5% everybody I
know complains about it

The older BT lines were better..... pure copper

It's all to do with distance anyway on BT so
it doesn't really matter how old the lines
are.

Virgin are useless... I wish I had an alternative but
I'm too far from the BT Exchange so stuck with Virgin.
I hadn't used the PC much yesterday but the connection
was just crawling.

I fancy trying Linux Mint, but it's 800MB and even though
it will start at 10MB/s it will probably get throttled
right down part way through.

It's unbelievable that the can advertise Unlimited and
10MB/s speed and not supply it. Thank goodness that
they don't run Banks
