Have played with the K-X and the video mode and I must say that I quite like it, it just something nice to do besides making photos. It completes the package of the experience so to say.
The video quality is very decent but the sound quality is really not good because it was outdoors and there was some wind.

I'm looking to buy the k5 when it's out and I'll use the video on it so I want a better microphone for it, the only problem is I've no knowledge what so ever about microphones.

I found this site with some comparison and some useful information.

Is everything true what they say there and do you maybe have extra information or experiences with a microphone and what do you advice?

This one Azden SGM-2X was advised by the website I linked to and it seems good to me but I ain't no expert

Indeed that's an option but it drains a lot of power to have the sensor on all the time and it produce heat and with that you also get more image noise

Anything exposed to the sensor is written when the "wind on" mech is activated.
I don't think that will work or do the camera rewind the film while it's getting expose?

Why does the sensor need to talk to the camera??? a film doesn't.
Film is always sensitive to light a sensor isn't, it needs to know when to be turned on and when to be turned off.

Hi Stefan,

Once I've selected the files to be imported and click "Import" then the hourglass pointer appears and the wait starts, say five min, if I perchance then click on any area of the workspace whilst waiting the screen fades and I get a message from Windows "The program is not responding "Wait or stop"" program" If I select wait then after some time the files appear in my catalogue and film strip.

I'm using an

Intel, Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8300 @2.5GHZ
4GB (3.25 GB usable
Windows 7 Professional 32bit

Thanks,
Greg
That's very strange and you've twice the PC that I've so that can't be it!
I only get an hourglass at the very beginning of the import for a second to start things up and then it goes to the back ground and I can do most things on the PC without any real slow downs.

Maybe a reinstate might help?

Wrong.
How is that wrong Oggy, as far as I know Canon doesn't sell a hood with their lenses but I never really looked at it though but heard some Canon users complain about it.

How would the sensor talk to the camera?
HOw will you be able to release the shutter on the sensor or is it constantly taking photos and how will you able to change ISO?
There are a lot of problems with the interface I believe

Never had such problem and I ain't running a fast PC either.
What are you precisely doing and what kind of processor and RAM do you have?
Adobe products like RAM you know and at least a dual core should make things quite fluid although importing can take a while, certainly if you also convert.

The extra storage bit isn't that large though so don't think you can carry a lot of extra stuff but it's just handy when going on a day trip so you can pack an apple, some candy bars and your sunglasses or something like that or maybe a rain coat for when it might rain. Just the little useful things that might be handy to have with you.

All three would find it useful to be able to sabotage infrastructure without doing permanent harm, and the fact that Iran's nuclear plant caught it would be very useful to Israel.
They think it costed $3 million and 10 programmers working six months to make it.

Ah okay, that makes sense, wasn't sure what you're getting at
