Must admit I'm a bit blase about updating firmware these days. After updating the firmware in several "critical" email servers' SCSI disks and RAID arrays. Now that is stressful!!

I was amazed the first time I used this card, I really didn't think the speed of the card would have related to how quickly it cleared the buffer. I have a 60x card, which for arguments sake is only half the speed of the Sandisk, so it should take 12 seconds to record the same burst, right? Wrong it takes over 30 seconds to record a 10 shot burst!.

It took my K10D six seconds to write 10 shots to a 2GB sandisk Extreme III card.

Fan-blinking-tastic Pete. And I know the K10D helped out, but I believe good photographs are taken by good photographers - not good cameras!

smc,

I think you can buy it through the Pentax User Club (check in the magazine). Er, you are a member, right? Just learn the handshake, roll up your trouser leg and bare a nipple....

This just relates to printers and DPI.

Comment by Ammonyte posted on Question about dpi at 21/01/2007 - 20:07

AFAIK, some Inkjet printers that promise 2400 dpi actually overprint the image so that (e.g.) Red and Cyan get printed onto the same dot or pixel. This means that you would not necessarily get better resoloution, but you might get truer colours.

How about setting the USER function up for manual lenses and dialling in a bit of EV correction?
