The camera has a buffer so with normal shooting you will hardly notice you've a faster card and transferring from card to pc is best done without using the camera.
So if photos is all you do then card speed is not so important, with video though you need a faster card.

Also the super fast (class 6) cards aren't that more expensive then the fast (class 4) cards to be honest.

If you use video then it's wise to use the faster ones and the extra speed is nice with big cards if they are full.

Try to ignore the cheap brands though, they somehow don't work so well with video... panasonic also seems to have problems there, at least with the K7

1. what lens do you use, what focus mode where you on and did it not take the photo or didn't it also not auto focus?

2. I think you should blame the batteries, what kind were you using?
When temperature drops their performance drop as well and if the voltage is too low since you use rechargeable then there is not much to do then use other types of batteries.
Types like the enloop brand ones seems to work well in most conditions.

My uncle now has a K-X and I've played with it for a good 3 hours and like the title said I'm impressed.

The AF (real 11 point vs 3 point KM) seems to work like it should and is quite snappy, It feels also faster then the K10D focus.
Viewfinder was certainly very decent compared to the K10D, which is very good for a mirror viewfinder.
It has a lot of features found in the K7 that make it a bit more useful.

Controls are a bit different then with the K10D but not inlogical, I do miss the amount of buttons though since I'm a M mode man.

I can not say much about picture quality, I made some in a dark room with iso1600 so can not really judge them. Also took some video which is surprisingly pleasant to do... makes me want to have a K7 more now though

Will go there this weekend again so will try to make some test shots, any special request of settings or other things?

Edit: I put an DNG file online, please I don't want to see this image online somewhere else or the fun is over.

If it's an online tut could you please link it because I can't find it either but it might be more meaning full to see it in contents.

If I need to guess I think it's an extension to a tab/menu that you need to open. With most you have basic and an advance menu, could that be it?

If it's only a slightly less I would go for the Pentax over the Samsung just for the resell value.

With the tammy there is a switch in the focus ring, so you can pull it back and it's MF and push it forward to have AF, or vice versa... I don't remember.
So when the lens is switch to MF you don't need to do that on the body.

With the Pentax it depends on how the camera is set, I've the AF under the AF button and leave the focus switch to AF so all my quick-shift lenses are MF lenses till I press the AF button for auto-focus. With macro I use the AF button since I'm lazy so I bring the focus close and to do the last part myself.

There are more users here who use quick-shift like that and since I'm used to it I miss it on other lenses

Yep the last one is the best.
