Many thanks for the warm welcome and valued information .... now to purchase a camera and be able to put to use some respectable lenses I stored away when I stopped using my P30 camera!

I shall certainly post results of any experiments I carry out.

I am in the throws of deciding that a K10D is the camera for me to purchase as my "coming of age" (60) present from the wife. Having a great interest in virtually anything electronic I like to push the limits on almost everything I purchase. Consequently I wonder if anyone here as identified the various interface connections and specifications for such things as shutter release and power supply. Having shutter release connections for the CS205 Cable Switch, IR release and connection on the battery grip opens up all sorts of opportunities for visual, sound or motion triggering of the shutter although it looks as if connector sourcing might be a problem for homebrew solutions. If it hasn't already been done then I may well be the guinea pig!
