Some very nice shots, I like the red squirrel and peacock best.
I can't see anything in the Lifeguard Tower?

As far as I understand it the 602 and 603 won't work at all together.
Some people were complaining on another forum. Some had already bought up to 15 RF-602's and certainly weren't going to cough up the cash to replace them all with RF-603's. They were instead going to buy more RF-602's as spares.

Sounds like the RF-603 is just a ploy to get people to replace the RF-602's

The extra wire is probably to wake up the flash from sleep mode.
On the RF-602 Nikon version a wakeup wire has to be isolated before it will work on a Pentax.

I've never had that problem with my RF-602 which is Canon compatible so possibly it doesn't do anything or hasn't got one.

I'm really annoyed that the 603 and 602 aren't compatible. The previous models were backwards compatible.

At 70mm subject movement is likely to be a bigger problem than camera movement. I would have thought that it would have been impossible to notice any difference between camera SR and lens SR at 70mm
Apart from noticing the price difference that is

Lots of wedding togs used to hold 6x6 cameras steady with 100ISO film by candlelight

Really ? was going to try it but did not want to risk my body. The trigger has five contacts, not opened it to check if they are wired but find it strange they would include them if they were not wired. Remember these are remote shutter release as well, although that won't be too much of an issue as the supplied cable is again canon fit (2.5mm jack, not PC).
You've got that wrong The Pentax remote release on cameras that have one is the same as the Canon. You can even use the Canon remote. They are all the 2.5mm jackplug. You don't even put the RF-602 (603 possibly same) in the hotshoe, just dangle it from the 2.5 jackplug lead. That lets you use the hotshoe for another flash trigger, even a different make.

Something in AP about the product life of the NEX-3 only being 6 months

That type of camera seems to have a great future.......Not!
