... and if the product still sells (and you're not going to annoy previous buyers by ensuring minimal depreciation, now, are you?) then they've won every single time.

If the new price goes up, the used price will follow. Ergo: buy it while you can and get the best deal you can.

... and jacobs are over £1000.....

The yen will not help here and nor will your plummeting exchange rate (and I've no idea why it's as low as it is!).

I know, it's getting boring. Still half a meter of snow, too.

I can't see that with the present optical performance and I think that will be the limiting factor.
However... FullHD is 10MB/sec. 600MB/min at MotionJPEG / K5 rates.

Therefore - and remember, these cards will be limited by the filesystem next - it's still only 5.5min before you hit 4GB... which, multiplying up, implies 32x5.5 so around 2-3 hours of video on a 128GB card. Enough to flatten a battery.

DRAM prices may well be affected by the japan earthquake.....

I personally find 32GB is acceptable and can understand the desire for larger. 500GB is a bit silly though.

it has nothing to do with electronics and everything to do with software. Besides, it's been done. https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/pk-tether-v-0-4-5-released-26176/p-1

My Siggy 24-70 is great now, with some adjustment. The sharpening I need in GIMP is a lot less with the K5 - and that's also with MF

USPS is by far the cheapest. And yes, be prepared for 25% charges.
