The shuttercount is what's used for creating the filenumber and the shuttercount is stored on the board.

Yes they are, Camera.nl and Klein at least have them for a week now.No sign of it in the Netherlands - but then the K-5 is still not available here.

yes you're correct but I didn't connect that with that beta testing is done with a preproduction model Quote:

Well I did say "it's possible Pentax added another memory chip after receiving early beta testing complains that the buffer filled up too quickly. This memory would possibly need a firmware update to recognise it."The late adjustment and testing was the part missing in your first comment,

How about "Memento"
Guy Pearce plays a guy suffering from anterograde amnesia (can't remember a thing from one day to the next) and uses poloroids and tattos to help him remember as he tries to piece together a murder he may have commited. Very good.
Still need to watch that movie, it's on my list for so long How about "Memento"

That still leaves the lack of OpenCL support - you couldn't use the 320M/9400M since they're designed to interface with the Core 2 Duo, not the i3/i5/i7, so you'd have to use a discrete GPU and memory, plus a PCH, all of which takes board space.
yes I know you need to use a GPU with i5 that's what i'm saying all the time That still leaves the lack of OpenCL support - you couldn't use the 320M/9400M since they're designed to interface with the Core 2 Duo, not the i3/i5/i7, so you'd have to use a discrete GPU and memory, plus a PCH, all of which takes board space.
No you can use the 320M/9400M if you want, they are using the 330M now with the macbook pro's or are you saying that they don't work?
But the 420m are also out for a while now

TDP for the three chips will be a bit more than C2D+9400/320M too, but probably only about 4W (3.5W for PCH, 1W more for the CPU, think the GPUs are roughly the same). Not counting the RAM, no idea how much that would be.
Like I said the whole 560UM core so that's the processor, the IGP and everything on it only drains 1 watt more than a C2D.TDP for the three chips will be a bit more than C2D+9400/320M too, but probably only about 4W (3.5W for PCH, 1W more for the CPU, think the GPUs are roughly the same).

Also the i5 use DDR 3 and they use less power so in total (the whole laptop) they might even use the same power.

Germany also has the Cashback with €150 and in some store it's instant cashback

It only a theory, but the extra memory wouldn't have been put in the camera in the first place and not used as that doesn't make commercial sense.
I thought you meant the later, that the camera came with the extra memory while there was no intention to use it.and the speculation is that they had early complaints about the tiny memory size they probably decided to add the extra chip(s) before the release date and then test and release the firmware to access it.

The late adjustment and testing was the part missing in your first comment, it makes sense now
Maybe that's why there are no in depth reviews yet?

Ah thanks, i had looked for that one but couldn't find it.
I remembered that there was a thread about it but since i'm active on 3 forums i couldn't remember which one

As it was mentioned on the 'other forum' manufacturers often design in some wriggle room and it's likely there were already the solder pads for extra memory on the camera's motherboard.

That scenario seems highly plausible to me.
Sounds strange too me... why spend the extra money to have the extra memory or other things there and not use it?

Sure there might be room to upgrade it just like you've room for 4 RAM memory stick in your computer and only use 2 sticks.
But it's strange to buy 4 sticks and put them on the motherboard and than disabling 2...
I'm very sorry but I can't see the logic in that

Sometimes it's a mazing how much you can tell in 10 minute.
Please show us the best short movies you know.
Here are some of mine.
link Uncle Jack, produced by Jamin Winans
Funny story all shot with a Pentax K7
link Aquatic Language, by Yasuhiro Yoshiura
An animation, it's a bit chaotic but it's interesting with a surprising end.
Two animation by Makoto Shinkai
link She and Her Cat
a bit slowed paced but beautiful
linkOther Worlds
just beautiful and that for 88 seconds and without a word said
Two horrors by Takashi Shimizu
link 444-444-4444
link In A Corner
link HUGH, by 4 students
CGI animation based on an Apache Legend
By Pixar they are so good with this
link Presto
link One Man Band
link Geris Game
link Burn-E
link Lifted
link Partly Cloudy
