Ratty,

Have you downloaded the latest Camera Raw converter from adobe? I think it supports the DL2

Now here's an idea - upgradeable sensors. I mean if you can plug a different CPU into the motherboard of your PC, it ought, in principle, to be possible with cameras. OK the sensor might have to be on a board along with some electronics to talk to the camera, and the first bodies for interchangeable sensors might have to be built with some future proofing (e.g. big bandwidth for getting the data off the chip)



P.S. All ideas above are (r) (c) (tm) to Me!!!!

No direct experience, but I recall reading somewhere (maybe elsewhere in this forum) of a similar problem arising due to oily or dirty contacts.

Sounds good to me - easier and cheaper than toting a laptop, more diskspace than a direct to CD / DVD device. The only problem is, that I can bet that within 6 months you'll get 80-100 gig for the same price!

Graham, I don't think Pentax would do something like that - it's not really their style, I mean if they still produce cnew bodies that work with 50 y-o lenses I don't think they'll p*ss us off over batteries.

I have just got hold of an Ansmann 8, and it's everything Matt said it was - and as big as he said it was too!

Daniel,

Have a look at http://www.picstop.co.uk/Battery-Charger/Ansmann-Energy-8-High-Tech-Desktop-Charger (as recommended by MattM), you'll find that it'll charge the individual batteris rather than pairs or 4's (when most chargers stop as soon as 1 cell reaches full charge) Also test the cells too.

Oh, and most landscape photographer have a siesta from 10 AM to 4 PM - low angled sunlight often picks out textures in the landscape better. In the middle of the day try using Infra-Red filters for a very different view - but that's probably a bit more than a beginner wants to bite off. Enjoy, it's fun!
