Pentax now do an "own brand" cleaning system for CCD's so I'd suspect that they are pretty certain it won't harm the sensor (probably cost 3x other systems though!)

I've used this with good results http://www.warehouseexpress.com/index.cfm?PHOTO/cleaning/visibledust.html Bit expensive though.

I'd agree that evilbay is killing Camera fairs. It is also supposed to be responsible for a decline in the revenue of local newspapers, most of whom depend on the money from classified adverts, which are now disappearing to ebay.

If you want more control over processing RAW files, than Elements, but want to pay less than for Capture One, have a look at Rawshooter Essentials (free!)

Just bought a couple of Kingston 1 GB 50 x speed SD cards (because they were cheap http://www.mymemory.co.uk/memory/Kingston/1GB/SD/Card/(Secure/Digital). My DS reckons itill only get 90 shots on these comared to the more normal 93/96 for other brands.

Matts results seem to beg the question as to why Pentax decided the D would use 16 bits per pixel. Were they expecting some chip developmenst which would use those extra bits?

I use 3 one GB SD cards, pqi Hi-Speed 60x, Kodak and Dane-elec. They hold between 93 and 97 6MP RAW images. I can't check which one holds the most at the moment as my camera is in Sick bay in Langley

But it does demonstrate that different brands have slightly different capacities. All have been formatted in the camera.

I'd therefore expect a 2GB card to hold around 180+

I'll put my money on SD as all their other models use SD cards, and the smaller size of SD cards will help them out in packaging the whole thing. And you can get SD cards that have a USB connector built-in, so no need for an adapter for the PC.

SD seems to be the way most things are moving, too. My mobile phone has 1GB SD memory (well the mini-SD type anyway)

Fernando,

Thanks, I'll go look for that one.
