Still using 35mm, and usually dissapointed with Scans CD provided. Only improvement would be a way to scan slides too.

Still hasn't stopped me ordering one 5 mins ago!

One of the regulars on the american Pentax forum pointed out that the helmet cam lenses on the marines in Aliens are Pentax 110 lenses. Had a screencap and all to prove it!

Just used the HTLM TAG:

"size=9:de1123c39d"Your Signature Test"/size:de1123c39d"

Note that TAG need to be in [] brackets, so replace " with [

This came from another forum member some years ago, so note sure what the HEX number following means.

Is this the case with different SD cards? If there was a write error to the card, this could happen.

Is the preview photo on the screen OK? is it just when you go back to the picture or upload to a PC?

Is this a dangerous thing to do?

Ive been testing the camera out over the last 24 hours and it works like a dream. Can someone tell me how to do it exactly?
Run many an update:

Fully change a battery, while said battery is charging, download the latest firmware (usually an exe file), run to unpack the BIN file. Copy the BIN file to the root of an SD card that has been formatted in the camera.

Insert the fully charged battery (check camera turns on OK, then turn it off!), insert the SD card with the BIN file on it. Press the Menu button and hold down, then turn the camera on - follow the instruction on teh LCD. When the process is complete, turn the camera off and then on again and format the card in camera to remove the BIN file.

Job done!

I think much depends on your budget and the resolution you require of your output. The K7 does tend to get hot after recording for 5 minutes, my experiance with the K5ii only extends to just over 6 minuites and the temperature indicator did not appear on the screen. Also the K5 had full 1080HD where as the K7 had an odd top resolution so I kept it as 720p or lower.

A quick DPReview Camera feature searce listed 16 results that might be worth a further look.
