The problem I have with the K-5 card door is that there's no room to get the fingers in to remove the card.
I find my Eye-Fi card is a pretty tight fit, but if I release the catch by pushing the card in, if I then 'ping' my fingernail off the edge of the card, the spring then fires the card out far enough to let me get hold of it. I do have fairly small fingers, though.The problem I have with the K-5 card door is that there's no room to get the fingers in to remove the card.

It's perfectly easy to use, but that's the problem - anything you catch it on, like a snug-fitting bag, is likely to open the card door.I didn't like the SD Card door at first on the K-5 but soon got used to it
The K10D design was a lot more secure. They kept it for the battery, why not for the card? It's a bit cheaper to manufacture, I expect, without the key, but much inferior IMO.
I use an Eye-Fi card most of the time, so I don't have to open the card door very often. But if I was forever opening it and closing it, I bet it would wear and become looser over time.
Does that correspond with others' experience?

Yes, I guess it's a case of 'be careful what you wish for'.Kai will get his chance soon enough!
Apols if it's old news to many, but I've been out of it all for quite a while.
But given that the K-3 hopefully won't be any worse than the K-5IIs, I'm a little more optimistic.

Is it really worth it?I reckon you would still shave the best part of £100 off the UK price.
Personally I'd have to save a lot more than that to forego the security of buying from a trusted UK retailer.

What was the gap between the D7000 and the D7100? Two years? It's nowhere near replacement time yet, so the K-3 will have to become competitive with that quite quickly I'd have thought.If you still want to price cream then you risk disgruntlement from your existing client base as prices will surely have to drop more quickly than usual.
Remarkable.
Very, very nice indeed.

With two slots and usb 3 will there be any need to open the card door?
