I have used approx 14 or 15 Transcend cards & have had 2 fail. One wouldn't read in my camera after format, the other just stopped working in the camera but worked in the pc. Both where exchanged free of charge under warranty.

I have never lost images with any Transcend card.

The important thing with memory cards is to be aware of fakes. Places like Ebay & Amazon market place are full of fakes.

Whether you use class 6 or class 10 cards you are not going to improve speed, just the time the cameras buffer can dump to the card.

Metz af48 would be ideal for your needs approx £140 & the 17-50mm 2.8 between £250 to £275

Metz 48 is being replaced with the af50 soon so bargains to be had

I have the Transcend class 10 & the class 6 cards, only difference??? The class 10 will shoot 2 more RAW images before the buffer stalls.

This is on a Samsung GX20

Having got rid of my M42 lenses I no longer need this.

Complete with instructions & original bag

£35 inc postage to UK

My advent has a matt screen, I got an O2 dongle, £2 a day, took the sim card out the dongle, put it directly in the netbook. Also changed the 160 gig hd for a 500gig approx £50, doubled the memory to 2 gig approx £20 & added a 12v power adaptor £8 from Aldi when they had them.

Mine fits in my camera bag & I mainly use it for back up or very quick agency uploads whilst on the move. I can run Photoshop & Lightroom on it, but the screen lets it down for editing.

I shouldn't get to bogged down with makes, I have trashed mine twice now & had it replaced under DSG Anything Happens cover..... Netbooks are so cheap I couldn't imagine keeping one for longer than a year anyhow...

I saw someone shooting with a non OS version of this lens a few months ago & couldnt believe the size, its a monster!!!

Its great isnt it??? I am also now an ex noise ninja user, I find up to 75% results in no smearing over that & that sheeny shiny smear rears its ugly head, like someone mentioned in an earlier post I am no going through all my old images, WOW its pretty infectious...

Had a quick look through this thread & couldn't find it mentioned Amazon now have k-5 & k-r available for pre order

banksys art is good but I prefer Pranksky's / King Robbo is better & certainly more colourful

Tens SNK crew local to me are also pretty good, they do grafitti as part of art groups to get kids involved, where they remove tags & poor grafitti & replace it with real nice colourful work

Strange the k-x should drop so low, yet k100d super's are still fetching £200ish...

For £250 it hardly seems worth getting rid, given the quality of the sensor...
