It isn't grey import that way and Pentax will honour guarantee under the international version of it, not the UK one.
I don't know what the difference is though

Don't worry Danny, we Dutch can take a lot by nature and we are short to the point as long as you don't put words in our mouths that we didn't said you can go a long way.
And I also picked on you and asked for it
And yes I do get it but somehow you don't get me

Well it's easy to be negative and all in all I only stated my vision of the product and everyone said it isn't like that and yes I know but therefore I can still wished and hope it was like that.
The packaging, the styling and form for example are very good of the product and I don't see why they couldn't make a laptop that fits in the same housing and that was where I mostly talked about and that the iPad didn't feed my needs and that I don't see it would feed the needs of many more.

Some see it as an huge iPhone for indoors and a multimedia device designed for video outdoors and a good device to read your email on and surf the web and yes it's fine for that and I didn't deny that, all I said is that the use besides that is limited and that for work it cut sort with a laptop and that that might be the point the device breaks on because they miss the commercial market with it.

There are linux versions that can run on ARM processors so it might not take long before we see a dual boot option for the iPad and then things might get interesting.
You've the quick access and easy UI for when on the road or if you want to look at your email fast and you can start up linux when it's docked with a mouse and keyboard so you can do your work on it.

Apps have been available on mobile phones for well over 10 years now, yet the iPhone has 98% of the mobile app market. Reason - Content mainly, but also a complete ecosystem to make it easy to buy and install them.
That's something else, it's the iPod thing and nobody wanted to miss out the potential market.
Also I don't see what content has to do with the app market, I'm sorry for that.

Also where did you find that number, 98%, and what's the content off that 98%?
Also you can put it into another meaning like that you need those apps for your iPhone simply because it does not support it out of the box if you don't know the content of the apps that are used.
Also when I look at the apps they offer I've my question marks with many of them and the true usefulness if you mean that with content then it isn't so much in my eyes.

I've an HTC and all I installed is coreplayer a music player that support a lot of formats and tomtom.
Besides that out of the box Words, excel and another one was installed out of the box, Opera web browser (with flash support :wink and PDF viewer. That's all someone would need right?

Interesting post Kris, do you sometimes bring both systems with you?

I'm thinking of getting a 645 camera and have a play with that along side digital.
Digital is then more of a playground thing to try things out and the 645 is then the one capturing the final image that resulted with all that playing.

I believe some "masters" work that way, take an DSLR around for a walk taking photos and see what works and what not, and then take the more heavier MF camera to the places that were interesting and had potential.

I have noticed that in general photographers become much better, more quickly, than they did with film.

This has to be that there is no cost per image barrier and also that the results are instantly viewable. Thus the learning curve is fast and steep.
True and also the lightroom is more accessible then the darkroom, that has probably also has something to do with it.

Errr....WOW!! lol!

Ok, so CS3 can take the DNG files that the K7 with the ACR that is supports. But it ACR for CS3 can't take the PEF files? Is this correct? Sorry, was slightly confused by your explanation, but I think I get it....

hope this is the case!

Cheers Stefan
Yes that's it
Sorry for the confusion post

And there is nothing between DNG and PEF in terms of quality.
I even go so far saying that DNG is more handy with Adobe products since the support of that file is very good, there is so good as no limit what you can do with DNG.
With PEF and other RAWs you need to convert them sometimes to do some actions.

Thank you Danny but most was all ready discussed and you only picked out lines and didn't put it into his content. All in all it's your point of view against mine, nothing more nothing less without a real right or wrong besides the thing that I said where wrong and I said I stood corrected by that. No need to pull out old cows out of the ditch.

If the OS of the iphone is a tweaked down of the OSX code then why can it not run OSX programs, in that content I was talking about that but you gave it another meaning.

So what they wrote about batteries here is not true?

That's illegal, so I would recommend you don't do it.
Well the funny thing is no one knows at this point for us living in the EU that is.
There are question being asked how the End User License Agreement is being presented to End Users and if it's viable.
The EULA is seen as general term of use and those are only viable if the are showed to the users before they buy it, and at present they aren't.
The field that comes up when installing where you need to check the box that you agree with the EULA is not viable in court because of this, so you can truly not read it and just check the box that you agree since it has no value.
At least in the Netherlands and Germany, don't know for sure about the rest of the EU but I think we have all roughly the same law about this.

Some people will find no use for it at all and think that it's an expensive toy. Just take it for what it is and stop knocking it for what it isn't as it really seems very silly to me, as an example 'the Kindle DX is the same price as a 16GB iPad and it only has a B&W screen, therefore it's crap' is just as stupid an argument as 'the iPad is crap because it doesn't have a B&W e-ink screen'
I don't believe anyone said that in those lines,
No, nobody did, that's why I said 'as an example'.
Yes as an example that somebody said that, at least that's how I read it and it looks like you suggested that since all is in one line.

Also if you can exaggerate things and use wrong facts then why is it so wrong that somebody else does it, since you take quite some offence it seems with the things I said.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. What an extraordinarily bland comment. With over 140,000 Apps to chose from I'm sure even you could find a handful that would be very useful Stefan. Wow.
Well I said most of the times and an handful out of 140,000 seems pretty accurate then.

For all the other things, read the cow thing in in the first part of this comment.

Yes and no and yes and no and yes...

CS3 does not support the PEF of the K7 but it does support the DNG and the ACR is not directly linked to CS3 but the version you could use with CS3 does not support the Pef but does the DNG and the newest version of ACR that doesn't work with CS3 does support the K7 fully.

Lightroom 2 will also support the K7 fully since that can run on the new ACR, and lightroom can convert the PEF into a PSD file or you work with DNG. DNG would be the best solution in my eyes, no lost and the lest conversions.

I think he has mixed up the two, seems the most logical explanation.

allow the focusing point to be shown in the view finder, Pentax bad mistake there. for that it 98% out of 100% shame on you.
That was done because they didn't had enough room in the prism housing, they could of course make the camera slightly bigger but then it wouldn't be that small.

If the comment about quality stars relates to the JPEG quality, there is also a Premium setting (4 stars) on the K20D.
Yes John you are correct, I just checked and my K20 was set on 4 stars, I must have mixed it up with something else the X70 I think but I have sold that now anyway.
I've always wondered, is the premium 4 star of better quality then the 3 star on the K10D or does it mean you've 4 steps instead of 3?
