Don,

That's one of the better jokes that have appeared in this forum!

Hmmmm that reminds me I have a half-used roll in my MZ-10 body that hasn't been used for 2 years!

Check page 122 of the manual. If you want the RAW + button settings to stick, you need to go to the [C Custom Setting] Menu and set [One-touch RAW+JPEG]

What are you focussing on? My understanding is that the camera looks for defined edges, so if your target is say, a solid area, it may not be able to focus on it. http://www.howstuffworks.com/autofocus3.htm

On the battery issue - is it not due to the increased power requirements of SR + faster autofocus motors etc that mean you would need more AA batteries in the body than is practicable i.e. the energy density of lithium-ion batteries is better than that of AA batteries and therefore it was almost ineviatable that we would have to move away from AA batteries as camera bodies become more power-hungry?

Thinking about it [humour]really hard until my head hurts[/humour] a 22 bit ADC seems strange when I don't know of any image format that uses 22 bits! Most are 8/16/24/32

Simon,

I'm surprised, given the effort Pentax have made to seal this body!

I'd go for an AA option with the "BG-3" grip, compression for DNG files and.......that's about it! The K10D is dangerously close to perfection!

Will,

How much money did the fella in the black take off of you for the honour of taking his photograph?

I think the most important point about shooting RAW is that you are preserving as much of the data about the image as it is possible to do. As new and improved RAW software becomes available one can go back to an older picture and re-process it, often bringing out qualities and details that were not apparent before. JPEG throws away a lot of data forever.
