But batteries do eventually leak if left. NIMH batteries don't tend to leak, I assumed we where talking about damage from voltage spikes.

If any battery causes damage then sales of goods act applies section 14 re satisfactory quality....

But any third party battery must be of satisfactory quality so if it damages your camera then the seller of the third party battery will be liable for replacement or repair if the battery, providing the battery was bought from within the EU...

To get more views on flickr or you must use metadata particularly title and description. You must also keyword. It amazes me on Flickr how many times o see title dsc00000 how can you hope to get views without description??? Once you have uploaded to Flickr with all the metadata and keywording in then you can tweet and share on Facebook straight from Flickr.

On android tablets you need an otg capable usb port, very few tablets have this...

If you need faster af and fps then go k-5. I still use a gx20 for a second body regularly and apart from its clunkyness and slow responsiveness I still get great images from it.

I think you will find the HDMI ports on tablets are output only

Move the flash back from the subject...

Think you would need a tablet with a HDMI input to do that, not aware if one if those....

has anyone here made then upgrade from the kx? Already have a small collection of glass so seems to be the natural route to take.

Yes, I have upgraded from the K-x, but have also kept the K-x too. I can confirm:

- K-5 transforms autofocus with a 55-300 lens - no more hunting!!
- K-5 is significantly faster to respond
- K-5 has better colour depth and detail
- K-5 can retain more dynamic range
- K-5 is significantly better built
- K-5 is far better with old 'manual' lenses and makes these an absolute pleasure to use (more accurate exposure, brighter viewfinder)
- K-5 has a better LCD screen
- K-5 has a built-in level (it works great on mine and is accurate)
- K-5 ROCKS!!

However, K-x is a fantastic camera and I will not be selling it anytime soon.

David

Bigger 100% viewfinder too on the k-5

I think if I was to jump ship, which I am not then I would jump on a d700 before its fazed out, but then imagine all the glass to replace too... Thats the only reason I can see to jump ship to for a minimum of improvement on the k-5...
