The K1D perhaps?

Let us pray we are not on the menu then!

I don't like wasps much!

Will they count my mobile phone as a camera or a video camera? It has a 1 GB mini SD card, so can happily take 30 mins of video or 1200 stills! I bet they'll just tax it anyway - anything to pull in some more cash!

I've never needed to use it on my Optio. I'd rather take good pictures than poor video! If I wanted to video things I'd buy a proper video camera that was up to the job.

I think I have solved the problem with my 2 GB cards - on careful inspection I discovered the card to be cracked. Since I cannot be sure that the card arrived in this condition I can't reasonably ask My Memory for a refund. I will probably continue to buy cards in the 2 GB range as the increase in RAW file size for the K10D means that I want to get a reasonable number of pictures onto each card.

I'm sure they were counterfeit, I've never seen a 516 card only 512 !

Yes, I'm running the latest version, 2.01.

Interestingly the 2 GB card claims to support 175 pictures. On my 1 GB cards I can get 93 (or 186 on 2), so either the capacity doesn't quite work out, or the card is reserving some space for something else. So I checked in windows exploere, which claims the capacity is only 1.78 GB (1,917,517,824 bytes, so it looks like they are measuring 2 GB as two billion bytes and not 2,147,483,648 as it really is - and short changing me alotta bytes!)

I recently bought a couple of 2 GB Hi-speed "own brand" cards from My Memory.

On a couple of occasions when transferring images to my PC I got the error message "Incorrect Parameter Function". I manually copied the files off one by one and discovered that a couple of the pictures coldn't be copied. I tried using specilaist recovery utilities like Diskinternals Flash Recovery and mmCardRecovery, to no avail.

After the first time it happened, I reformatted the card in the camera. On both occesions it happened after I deleted some pictures off the card (while the card was still in the camera) and continued shooting.

I'm guessing that after deleting the picture the camera tried to record over the now un-allocated space, failed, and some sort of corruption crept in. Or I've got a duff card.

Anyone else come across this sort of problem, after deleting files from a card in the camera?

Well I did buy it with PayPal money, and that isn't real money is it ?

And I am getting to understand and like Silky a lot.
