I have a Sand Disk 2GB Extreme 111 card. Tomorrow I'll do some speed tests with it.

I fear I'm missing out on something here. On my monitor there's nothing resembling jaggies or aliases or whatever.

My first efforts with K5.
A detail of a sculpture in Durham. Both handheld, both at F9 and 55mm.
the 1600 ISO shot was at 1/200th sec and the 3200 ISO at 1/400th.
No noise reduction was done when converting from RAW to JPEG. No other PP treatment.

3200 ISO

ISO 200, 1/500th sec at f7.1 lens at 135mm. The only post processing was conversion from RAW to JPEG and basic sharpening. The train was doing 70-80mph
Here is was trying out high speed shooting to test the focussing of the K5+DA*50-135mm lens combination and also to see how many frames per second on drive. I was only getting three frame bursts before the shooting gave up, presumably the buffer fills up quickly in RAW.

First big difference between the K10 and my new K5: Using a standard 2gig memory card and shooting in RAW I get 118 shots on the K10 and just 36 on the K5.

Correction: I hadn't reformatted the memory card taken from the K10. Its now giving me 58 frames per 2gig card in RAW.

Firat big difference between the K10 and my new K5: Using a standard 2gig memory card and shooting in RAW I get 118 shots on the K10 and just 36 on the K5. It going to be like having to change rolls of film all the time.
Now I'm off out to play with my new toy.

Edinburgh, the Borders or Glasgow would be fairly easy for us North Easterners but Fife is getting a bit far to make a day of it.

In fact you could stop at my place for coffee on the way up!
And give you a lift up north.

And they also say swan photos are boring. Well many of them are but not this one. It's excellent.
