You need just the plain old SD card a 1 gig or 2 gig will be fine, I think Pentax say you need an 8mb card for firmware...

The reason WD built a factory in Hungary was to get around the EUs heavy protection methods particularly on foreign imports. As a member of the single European market we all gain advantages that foreign direct investment brings in to the EU. Do you think your hard drive would have been cheaper if it was imported from outside the EU?
Blaming online stores for the demise of bricks and mortar stores is another red herring, online sales have only increased by 20% not enough to put bricks and mortar out of business. The main reason is the narrowing of the gap between income and domestic bills creating a shortage of available cash to spend on luxuries like cameras etc...

No Smeggypants, just a totally different market that they worked in. If you had wanted lighting, studio backgrounds, large format cameras, shop sized printers, etc., then you would have heard of them.
Apart from anything else, they aren't Pentax dealers, so why would you hear of them here.
However, the UK operation continues. Ken buys from them in Glasgow, I buy from them in Manchester.
The Tesco comment is just that, in relation to the size of the respective markets, it's a similar devastating loss. A major player in other words.

Yup alway had a spare battery Smeggy but thats all they ever where just a safe incase mine happened to run out and I think I used a spare maybe three times in the last 8 years due to the Pentax battery running out. My best third party battery I had was a Hama one that SRS gave away free with the k-5, now that was a good battery surprisingly....

Over the years I have Hadley third party batteries just stop working whilst the Pentax just go on and on. Never had any third party battery blow up either.
So it depends on how mission critical your battery needs are...
