It seems that there might be an eBay shop selling these, though I can't view eBay from work.

Hi,
Thanks for the explanation. I probably couldnt afford a ff anyway , but was just asking the question.

If you don't ask, you can't learn! Good luck with your venture and I look forward to seeing your efforts, it will likely be a lot less than 5 years if you stay focused. Posting pictures in the gallary will invite comments and help you to improve.Hi,

In the meantime, spend your money on good lenses, good lights and reflectors.

I used it on Sunday at a family party and the images were in the main very impressive and I was very plesed with the results. However I have just sent it back because at various settings the focus is all over the place, for example I focused on a group of people sitting at a dining table and they are all out of focus but the area behind them is very sharp which is not what I wanted!

Can I suggest that you put the picture through PhotoMe, this will show you where the focus point was (from the EXIF data). If it was between two heads and on the area behind, you might find that your lens was actually doing its job!I used it on Sunday at a family party and the images were in the main very impressive and I was very plesed with the results.

Based on the maximum pixels (4672x3104) the number of images on a 1GB card is approx:
RAW (PEF or DNG) 40
JPEG Premium 68
JPEG ***117
JPEG ** 212
JPEG * 411
Hope that helps!
K10Ds don't have the premium setting, what, if any, improvement in JPG quality does this give over the highest setting on the K10?Based on the maximum pixels (4672x3104) the number of images on a 1GB card is approx:

There have been rumours that Pentax are looking at an ASP-H sensor (1.3 crop over 35mm), these appear a bit stronger than thoes for a full frame.
Anyway, with the advances in sensor technology and post capture processing in camera and on chip, I am not sure that there will be much advantage of a full frame sensor for studion work a few years down the line.

Hi Coriander, I was interested to read this topic as I have experienced similar problems. The culprit being a Lexmark Pro 4Gb 133x speed SDHC card, which plays 'hard to get' in my Pentax K200. I found that it will make selected images available for viewing, and withold others, offering the question mark instead. I've also tried it in my other (non Pentax) compact camera, with the same problematic results. It seems to hold onto the images only while the camera is switched on. Turn off the camera and all images are lost. This relatively expensive card is now gathering dust on a shelf, I shan't ever feel able to trust it. Sigh....
Sounds a bit like a faulty card, if it is still in warrantee, get a replacement.Hi Coriander, I was interested to read this topic as I have experienced similar problems.

It would be interesting to see two images of the same with the only difference being one taken on the K10 and one on the K20. They would need to be taken in JPG to see how the camera produces its results....

It's supposed to have a guide number of 14 meters at 100 ISO and f5.6.
Pixmania has it for £239 (+ Shipping £9.10)
The one on Jessops web site appears to be the Nikon version.

The only reason that I answered yes is not because I would make a huge use of the feature, it is necessary to be competative!
I think the K20D was half way there with a burst speed of 20fps!
Perhaps we could even have a burst mode that gives 60fps! That would be a first in a DSLR!
