Was planning to do that with the spyder 3 but I didn't got the software to work with the hardware on Win7 64bit

I think the problem is that the development is quite new and not many here bought a DSLR because it can take videos, also I think many have problem giving that function a place next to photography.

The holiday to Austria is already booked for me.
I hope I've the K5 then so I could film the scenery globally to give an overview and then with photos go into the details that stills provide.

I was talking about how the photos looked so artistic and creatively.

Yes and no.
The way the photo looks artistic and creatively won't be different, you can even make very good photos with the camera in your phone if you know your equipment and what you're doing.
There is a difference off course what the sensor brings and other systems that are camera based like the autofocus, white balance, exposure metering, ect.
But will that make a photo better really depends on your way of shooting, because it might suit the other more and it can have some advantage to make it easier to get a good photo but to get a master-piece it's all about your skill.

As far as I know you can use it on several monitors but you can't sync the monitors to each other when you're for example using a multiple display devices on your PC.

Good tip Don, will try it some time

Your sound set-up is way to sophisticated for what I want but I really like the control you've over everything.

I've take a look at Sennheiser, the K6 looks very interesting with his modular system.

Shure and Sennheiser are names I know from the output side of audio so I wasn't sure how well they are when it concern microphones.
Will take a look at them as well.

Precisely the same problem here Gwyn, would be interesting what he will advice.
From what I've experience from the K-X you really need a good mic to put the video to his right. The noise the wind makes is just awful

Don, I've an question about the Rode mic, from what i know it's a shotgun meaning it only gathers sounds from the front of the mic right?
Can you change that behaviour so it also gather sound from around you a bit?

Thank you Don.

Would like to have the audio directly inject with the video so no zoom h2.

I've heard good things about the Rode, the Azden is in the same price range so it would be interesting to see how they compare.
Have you tried/used the Azden maybe or have other experience with them?

I've read about Rode things but this the first time I heard about Azden

That's because the kit lens of the K-M, K-X and most likely the K-R are the DA-L lenses those come without a hood, the DA and DFA lenses come with a hood.

The big photographers of yester-year would be jealous of the gear we have now and funny enough we're all trying to make photos like they did

Did used the video function on the K-X for the first time this holiday and I must say that I quite like it.
It just add a new perspective and the video has a different look to it as your standard videos.
For me it's certainly an added bonus and a reason to get the K5 before the winter.
