if you use it outside the USA, yes it is - that's why its called "grey" - its not black (illegal) or white (locally distributed)...its somewhere in between.But it's only a grey import right if you buy a camera for the USA market in the EU for example, if you buy an USA camera in an USA shop than it's not a grey import right?
I believed it's a grey import if a shop in the UK sells products for the USA market but if you buy USA product at an USA store it's white.
If like you said is true you would have a problem when you're on holiday because all you products suddenly become grey imports... there goes your warranty

I don't know what it can be.
As for prints being darker, that comes because the screen is illuminated so if you print them out you should brighten your photos a bit so that they match what you see on the screen.

Wow... you do have a work place with a view though...

Any chance to see the K5 with these colours?
It does fit the design quite well, so why didn't they use this colour scheme as the second colour?

Peter which tripod do you've and how do you find it?
Went to the photostore here and had the Basalt and the Carbon version in my hands, they both felt really good.

Some noise reduction is done in the sensor self but because you're still able to shoot 7fps at ISO 52.000 I don't think that's the problem.What about the processing from the noise reduction algorithms? including the hideous dark frame.

The algorithms for the noise reduction aren't included with the RAW file, have no idea about the DFS though but those only comes on with longer shutter speeds so there is no danger that that will halt the processing of the photo so much that you can fill the buffer.
We aren't talking about processing time but the decrease in the amount photos in the buffer.
You've a K10D and K20D just shoot at highest ISO and tell us your findings.
I already said I couldn't feel a difference.

Pop back to the shop where somebody else bought it. You have no contract with the retailer and the UK importer will look at it and get a bit sniffy, "sorry mate, grey import".

You could have stitch photos together of course.
I like the second one, if you could have stitch a photo onto it on the right side so you didn't cut the building it might have worked.
What do you think of this?
Added some sky and removed a bit from the bottom, sorry about the colours but I liked the preset

How on earth does that work? I've only recently bought a flash and I've yet to move beyond "Excellent, I can shoot handheld in low light without horrible noise or camera shake!"
Of course you need to use a tripod when working with longer shutter speeds, there is nothing you can do about that.How on earth does that work? I've only recently bought a flash and I've yet to move beyond "Excellent, I can shoot handheld in low light without horrible noise or camera shake!"
The photo is done by something called trailing or second-curtain flash, the flash only fires at the end of the exposure.
So you set the camera right to capture the trails, and then adjust the flash to have enough power to illuminate the subject at the end (you can also leave the flash on P-TTL).
This one I did sometime ago, it isn't perfect though.
Must have used a more flash power I believe.

I have a Gitzo Basalt G1298. I don't think it is part of current range. It is light, but very sturdy. There are 4 leg sections with 3 twist connectors. It is ideal for me as it is light and also folded length is only 50cm (without head), so I tend to use it a lot.
The carbon one felt slightly lighter, do you know there are more benefits to get carbon, I believe basalt is good enough.
I've also played with the composer, the one where you can angle the centre column anyway you want, that one looked very nice for macro or for products shots in the studio.
