Even if you plan never to use the built-in flash, it would be a shame to discover - outside the warranty period - that the built-in flash head itself was fine, but that it was the firing circuitry that wasn't.
I don't know enough about them to know whether that's possible, but it would be pretty annoying.

Clarky, you need to download the Pentax Remote Assistant Software, then use the USB cable to connect camera and computer.
You can see what it took, on the computer screen, and if you save it, it ends up on the computer, not the SD card in the camera.
But taking the pictures one at a time and saving them on the computer, doesn't seem to me to be any quicker than taking all the photos, and then uploading the whole lot.

However, I am curious about one thing.
Shooting RAW+, if I take a PEF file, import it into CS3, export it unmodified to max quality JPG, I get a JPG file that's much bigger (about twice as big) than the corresponding JPG straight out of the camera.
Any idea why?

However, it looks a little greeny-yellowy on my screen.
Apart from the grass, what looks too green/yellow to you?

I would rate the 50mm/1.4 as one of all time favourite lenses.

If he's in a position to quote the numbers, it would be interesting to know how many, and whether there have been QC issues from any of his customers.
Even without the numbers, it would be helpful to hear from possibly the only person here who's been in contact, even indirectly, with a significant number of the lenses.

Sigma EF-530 DG Super Flash Gun which is wireless - but I believe it only shoots wirelessly when the built in flash goes off.
Thoughts on a flash purchase? I am relatively new to photography.. therefore any ideas greatly appreciated.
I've been very happy with it so far (and at that price, it was a steal), including its wireless capabilities, although I haven't got totally familiar with it yet.
