This is with my K20D + 18-55mm kit lens.

Would really like some suggestions of what to try next time to improve this.

Just teseted:

Sandisk 8Gb SDHC Micro SD card + Kingston Adaptor worked with no problem.

A bit slow but that's probably more to do with the fact it's a Class 2 card rather than the Class 6 of my normal card.

I would also agree I can only be down to the seller, just like retail.

No such thing as a right to buy in the UK.

If anyone does go down this route I would be interested to see the results.

I'm inclined to take tamrons own results with a pince of salt.

Yes, the Pentax Remote software is a bit rubbish (and I understand it's been dropped entirely for the K7 which speaks volumes).

I agree, I gave it a try however without any Live View it kind of makes it redundant for anything I would do.

If it's just for photos there is the option in Lightroom that will generate your webpage for you.

Just make sure you decide exactly what it's going to be for.

Will you be selling photo's? Don't forget storage costs if there are large quality photos as most hosting companies will charge per MB.

One option is to keep the photos on flickr and just have the website linking to them.

Here is a company I have dealt with in the past: Net Central

The have their own datacentre and basic hosting is £5 a month including registering a .uk domain name.
