Yep that's it the CP+

Indeed interesting to see it listed as;
HOYA CORPORATION PENTAX Imaging Systems Division

Yes Bret I should have said I was talking about P-TTL it use a digital contact that talks to the camera so there might be some problems if pentax decide to do that slightly differently, that's one of the reasons some sigma lenses need to be re-flashed to work properly on some bodies.

Windows 7 does that out of the box I believe.

Also homebrew PC here almost 5 years old now.
AMD 64 x2 2800+ overclocked to 2.75GHZ, i had it running on 2.9GHZ but that was a bit unstable... at 2.75 it's super stable and runs like it should with a little bit more juice.
ATI X1950XT also overclocked.
4x 512MB ram... don't know the numbers but also a bit overclocked
ASUS ... deluxe but I flashed it over to premium version
LG BLU-RAY/HDDVD/DVD/CD Writer
ASUS dvd reader
Creative audigy 4
250GB
500Gb
320GB extern
250GB extern
16GB USB ready boost

Now I'm looking for a new system, most likely something like this.
Intel Core i5-750
Asus P7H57D-V EVO (SATA 3 & USB 3, future proof is important)
OCZ 4 GB DDR3-1600 Kit (ain't sure about RAM...)
Asus EAH5770 1GD5

I think it's about a convention at 11 march till the 14th where it will be unveiled, at least if I understood it right.

I think for the coming 5 years Pentax will keep making DSLR like they do now and only APS-C and don't forget the 645D.
I simply don't think Pentax has the resources to compete with others on a different scale and Pentax should not try in my opinion.
Pentax need to have it from the Pentaxian, the more photography orientated species and they don't get so warm about EVIL camera's I think, they just want a mirror and prism like it always was, EVF/EVIL is something for the Sony fanboys.

Ah but now the whole reason why not to use a mirrorbox is to get a smaller camera is away since the dimensions from the lens to the sensor needs to be the same or else the combination wouldn't work.
They could solve it by using an adapter but then the camera would still be roughly the same size like they have always been so they would need new lenses.
So if you're going to use your old lenses there is nothing to gain really....

So if they will go EVIL that would simply mean a complete new system and Pentax probably will not do that soon simply because they can't, certainly if they are serious with the 645D that would keep them busy for 2 years.

I also have it on ISO100 more often then not.
Camera in M-mode and most of the time f/4 or f/5.6, SR always on and always in RAW.
Spot metering and selective focus point.
Auto focus only under AF button so with my quick-shift lenses are always manual focus except when I press the AF button, very handy!

Metering I simply do with the green button that works like a on command Av mode, also very handy and that way I make sure a series of photos are all exposed the same, easy for batch processing.

Flash with +0.7 over exposed but 9/10 I use the flash in manual.

I don't think I've missed something...

How is the UK or USA law about this?
In the Netherlands I can get it repaired under warranty most likely even if the warranty is over. We have a law that a consumer can aspect that if you pay a lot for a product that it will at least work for a reasonable amount of time.
When you pay €700 for a lens and the SDM motor stops working after 3 years then of course something is wrong with the product since we or at least I don't expect a lifetime of a mere 3 years of a lens right.

And cropped lenses are lighter

One of the most important thing is compatibility.
Since Metz, Sigma or any other manufacture has not bought the rights to make Pentax flashes I don't think Pentax will make sure their flashes will work with new bodies. Although how much can there change right.
Metz is clever to give them an USB port so you can just update them with new firmware, Sigma you need to send in just like their lenses most likely, if there is need for it.

On a personal note, I like the controls better on the Pentax flashes but that's something you need to find out for yourself.

No, certainly not
High ISO of the K-X would be okay but I would want the ISO performance of the lower range as the K10D more though.
