In case you notice, yes it's a Pentax site and yes those shots are taken with a Canon.

Let Stefan have his dream
Also it's 135 format so all my lenses except one wouldn't fit
For 2000 more I would rather get the 645D
here is some info.
"MR52" digital SLR camera (2000)
Digital SLR camera, displayed at Photokina 2000, jointly developed with Philips Semiconductors. Full frame (24x36mm) 6Mpixel resolution and Pentax bayonet mount. It was abandoned in October 2001.

There is one on ebay with buy now but that one is too expensive since for €20 more I could get the Lumopro LP160 from the store here.
minphone port is that standard 3.5mm jacket used for many headphones these days, it looks like they are trying to get that as a standard for flash guns instead of the PC socket.
I hope they succeed because the 3.5mm jacket extension cords are very cheap so you can make a wired set-up for a few pounds.

Quite pricey btw, the 645D is now ¥839,000 (~ US $9200 / 6350 GBP) and that's 40mp, how fast times change.

Two quick thoughts:
- Direct camera-to-PC has one problem: If the battery(s)go flat in the middle of a transfer, you will probably lose all the pics. Note that the direct approach will run the battery(s) down faster than normal.
- The big difference in card readers is whether they will handle SDHC cards, or only the SD ones. I got a load of 2gb SD cards because my reader will only handle SDs. Note that ASDA currently offer one that will handle both types for only £5. Worth a gamble, I think (usual disclaimer).

Maybe advance flashgun work would have worked perfectly or flashgun work with modifiers?

I know it isn't a word at all but most get what I mean and that's what count.

APS-C DSLR will always be smaller because of the reasons Kris said.
a bigger mirror, a bigger focusing screen, a bigger lightbox, a bigger shutter....
The same thing is with the high ISO performance of the 135 format sensor will always be a step better because of the large size because if they can make a good APS-C sensor they can use the same thing but bigger for 135 format.

I never said it was a problem for me but some people even find the APS-C size cameras too big and they go for the 4/3th system also the opposite happens.
I never said it's an issue but it's a difference in system that might be important for some people and that's why it's mentioned because it can be the factor to use APS-C camera instead of 135 format camera.

SDHC is so outdated, the new generation called SDXC is already out so buy one that accept SDXC and you're good to go till they make an SD that support 2TB
http://www.sdcard.org/home/
And here is the link to the official SDXC site which you also linked to link
So the changes of a SD card reaching 2TB is more likely to happen then not.
There is no Pentax or any camera that support those cards but it won't take long before there is one so why not buy a card reader that support it, then buy one that support SDHC and then next year buy one for SDXC
About the transfer, we had a power failure once during transfer so the PC went blank, no problems at all but that was with a card reader.
