That's indeed true Technoidiot, lucky not every one is like the stereotype. I love to try out new foods in dip myself under in the culture, it's a good way to be someone else and relax for a moment. That's one reason I don't like the tourist spots

Indeed Father Ted, although the topic title is Absolutely barking... and that's quite broad

like Kris said: "Personally, I like the way these fora are more like conversations in the pub than an academic conference. I attend enough of those already!"

ps. yeah that might be it Will

Matt not with a tent but with a caravan *sighs* I thought you would know us a bit better

Indeed and you know the reason now

I've indeed not seen many English cars in my country... too afraid to drive on the right side of the road, or is it something else?

Ken is right, for the price I can recommend the Cactus V4, they are not pro quality though. The good thing is they come with the cable you need so no need to buy that separately. Pcoketwizard are almost charging as much for the cable as what the Cactus V4 cost

There are of course also more professional solutions. link

Oh the Swedish are also bad, when they see the price of beer they get drunk every night...

Vic, just like the K10D-K7 the K-X can't use TTL either, that's what I meant.

Since those Harry Potter movies, the whole world is into it

No I haven't safely use it that way, it was quoted from DPreview.
Someone had the same problem as you and, the answer was that the Cable is the first one to fail and then when this was the response on that.

You should check the polarity of you flash and and the camera then you know if that's the problem or not, do not assume I've it right.
Everything is at your own risk

Matt WUSB support 480 Mbit/s at distances up to 3 meters, fast enough for most RAW shooters, if you don't machine gun with the K7 that is.
It should keep up with all the other Pentax models machine gunning.

Somehow we Dutch always try to get away as far as we can from English on vacation, don't ask me why...

Also for the bamboo?
Didn't see it in the package list...

The camera doesn't really matter, by its age it might or might not do some functions.
Since the k-x is brand new it will do everything besides all the other modern Pentax won't do and that is TTL flash metering, however it does use the newer P-TTL but only the newer flashes support that. You can also use the wireless function as well if the flash support that.
