The linear polarisers will give a small exposure difference but is still very usable, the colour filters are not need with digital.

Curtain trail - it's just words that seem to have nothing to do with camera settings
Well yes and no, of course this are flash settings but in situations that you use a trailing curtain your camera settings are important to.

It's simply the difference between this shots, and that's quite significant.

With this it doesn't matter but if you've a person moving, it would look if he's running backwards instead of forward.

It's not much better in the K-x manual either - basically, as I understand it, it gives you the light trail but keeps the subject [ ie a car ] in focus too .

I could of course be wrong
No you're right Ti it's that and you're a new user so do you know how to set your flash on that setting?

Trailing curtain - what's that?
That's a flash at the end of the exposure instead of at the begining, it can be set in the flash menu. here is a link

I'm sure if you ask a new Pentax user how to set the built-in flash to trailing curtain, they're very unlikely to have a clue what you were talking about. They might find it if they knew how to adjust the flash settings, but I think you're over-estimating any new users knowledge or comprehension of some of the subtler aspects of photography. From experience I've found no-one new to DSLRs who's got the faintest idea of trailing curtain synch and why you might use it, let alone where to find it.
Yes you're right Dan but if you said it was a flash option/setting they might have a good idea where to find it

@Alan, thank you for being so supportive ^^
I never looked in Pentax in such a way but it has a good user interface, you only need to go into the menu once to asjust the camera to your likings and during shooting, Fn menu is all you need. Very thought out system.

WR means weather proof not water proof, they can't stand water pressure.
Only some of the compacts can go into the water.

What's wrong with the MZ-6, then?
Waiting for the film to be develop would almost take as long as for the camera to arrive

Indeed John forgot about that one, that's indeed a super feature.
