labnut great study you've done here, you should try get some members so crazy to fund one of the new Sigma lenses with SR in the lens for you to compare if the SR in the lens is more effective or not

Hopefully that would solve your problem Kris, it works the same on all Pentax DSLR from what I've seen.

Most of the time it's the problem is that the channel isn't set on the same number.Anvh wrote:

If it does I have never found out how. I use an old AF160 to trigger my AF360 in slave mode. This was the subject of just about my first post to this list! Mind you, that was with the K10D, not tried to crack this one with the K20D yet.Hiljon has a Pentax 360 and that one support the smarter flash mode.

The best way to sync your flash with the camera is to put the flash on your camera turn them both on and then in the camera Fn menu select the wireless flash, in the top screen the channel number appears and that's the same one that's on the flash now you can change that number by change it on the flash and the camera automaticly follows.
Is that understandable or do you really want a step for step list?
Does this solve the problem, this should make it to work if you set the flashgun on wireless as well.

SRS maybe?

You never know how high the resolution would be of the sensor over a year, they are already going near the 20mp with the APS-C sensor.64GB holds only about 2 hours of top quality K-7 video. You might also want a gigantic amount of space for RAW stills for a holiday or expedition.

get yourself an arctic butterfly, works great and it's easy to carry around.

Indeed but if I lose a one of the two 4GB card that would also mean losing 50% of my photos and that's far more likely to happen then that the card would fail to work Don't forget that when the 1-3% of cards that fail happens to be that 8MB card, that for you it will be a 100% failure rate...

Then we wouldn't need a camera to begin with
But really though EVF need to be improved on these things.
- AF (EVF use the sensor to focus and not a special focus system like with SLR so they really need to improve that)
- Lag
- Low light preformance
What I think will happen is that we will see a hybrid viewfinder. Translucent LCD screens are becoming normal and it's a small step to integrate them in the viewfinder, basicly in the place where the "AF focus points" are now.

Not if you're like me... It also spreads the risk to use more than one card.
I've one card of 8GB that's my main card it's in my camera or in the computer and no where else or I might lose it
I also make a poll here about SD card failures and it seems you must be extremely unlucky if your card would fail.
https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/sd-card-failure-17511
27 votes and 4 voted that 1-3% of their cards failed and the rest had no failures.

They both have advantages, and you have to decide which you value more.
FA77:
*Speed
*Slight edge in sharpness?
If you don't need the wider aperture then the DA70 seems to be the better choice.
