its just the card and camera are incompatible, (maybe, to be proved)
You would say since the camera has a SDHC sticker to show that it work with SDHC standard that it should work with a SDHC card.

This from Pentax.nl link
SD-geheugenkaart, SDHC-geheugenkaart* *De max. opslagcapaciteit bedraagt bij SDHC-kaarten op dit moment 32 GB (september 2009)
They say it's SDHC compatible and that the biggest size right now is 32GB.

I hope that helps

If you have Picasa installed you could let it discover the files.
Since you've lightroom and so probably work with that use the import function of that instead.

Thank you Algi, I was know with that term though
I was hoping to get to know why it is a chocolate teapot.

here is one other reason to ditch the pentaprism and mirror box...
say you're samsung, and you have a ff sensor, and Pentax k mounts...
you take pentax sr system, and mount the whole sr and sensor on a rail that you can move forwards and back in the space that used to be occupied by the mirror... you use it with the af in the lens, af and also move the sensor for focus (that has been done before, Contax for eg)... so using both the sdm and sensor movement to do the af....
move the sensor forward (cropping the sensor in effect) and add an adaptor to use the nex lenses, move the sensor backwards and a ff kmount lens or aps c lens....
That's a very interesting idea.
But they will need a new AF system though

well the 10 or so mm difference only matters if there is a new line of lenses to push on the consumer....
Indeed but think about the possibilities.
Just look at the normal 4/3th mount.
14-35mm f/2.0
35-100mm f/2.0
90-250mm f/2.8
Those are lenses you most likely will never see on an 135format mount simply because the register is too long and the lens opening is too small.
The difference between 4/3th and the K-mount is only 7mm in register and 4mm in throat diameter of the mount.
So you can have 4/3th size camera with APS-C sensor and faster lenses than other ASP-C DSLR, that's a win win

About Samsung and Pentax, both have openly said they want to explore/head into different direction so I don't think we will see a re-badge Samsung or Pentax any more.
I even wonder if there would be a Samsung sensor in the new Pentax.

rparmar it isn't a contradiction, was talking about manually selecting a focus point in the last part you quoted.

P&S shooters will most likely use the Auto AF point selector and indeed it's guessing sometimes what's in focus or not and the KX won't indicate on the back what focus point are in focus than. So if you want to look at the LCD than it won't help you.

When you manually select a focus it's mostly the case the camera is on a tripod or that you won't change it that often, at least for me. With the K10D for example you've the red focus things in the viewfinder and even then I hardly change the AF point, it's faster to recompose.
Therefore if I select an AF point I do it for a specific purpose and it will be on that point through the shoot. For portrait I use the AF point that's to the right so that if I turn the camera in portrait orientation the AF point is closer to the eyes so I get less errors when I recompose.

We all have different shooting styles though so it can be a problem for you but for me at least it wasn't a problem and I try to explain why it wasn't for me.

I think they should make a mount with a smaller register though, it helps to make faster lenses and you can always use an adaptor to extent it to the length of the K-mount and to the mount Nikon, Sony, Canon use

I really don't know about the EVIL camera though, I at least don't like them.
What you suggest for filming and taking photos at the same time can also be done with DSLR, it's just a K7 with that ability I miss the point why it should be evil.

I'm however really hoping though that those transparent TFT will replace the simple red AF squares that light up in the viewfinder.
You can than switch from DSLR to EVIL if you want and information can be show onto the optical image, that would be so need

Peter I see you've more so I'm curious to know if it does the same with your K10D and the other K20D.

Flossie would you like to explain the chocolate teapot a bit more please
I only have make 200 shots at most with the KX but I've used the selectable AF successfully with portraits to focus on the eyes and for that at least the LCD indication was fine.
Just wondering if the chocolate teapot comes over time with use or that it's just a difference in the user.

Oh well more to investigate then. The DA40 was a 2nd hand lens I got from a little shop in IoW so may not have been kept as clean as my lenses have been I suppose.

(Goes to find some good cleaning fluid....)
The only thing the SR needs is the focal length so when you use the DA40 and the focal length is in the EXIF data than it should be okay, or at least the problem won't be in the contacts.
