I think the word is truly offensive and discriminatory to the domicile impaired.
Only vagrants and homeless people are allowed to use the "B" word.
STOP DISCRIMINATING AND OPPRESSING THE FINANCIALLY DISADVANTAGED!!!
Whomever decided on that ban of the "B" word is an a$$.
lol!

Don I'm just trying out what can be done, don't you never experiment?
And to be honest what if you want to have your model brighter then the ambient light on a clear sunny day, you would need a lot of flash power
Of course I experiment.Don I'm just trying out what can be done, don't you never experiment?

and yes, studio strobes have the power....
I wasn't putting you down, was just wondering why and what you were trying to achieve.......

I'm not really sure what the end point is on this project...
sunny sixteen rule:
iso 100, 1/125 sec shutter, and f16 aperture....
any flash can be used outdoors for fill... to get a wider aperture and faster shutter combo, use a reflector in stead of flash...
so I've never had to solve this "Problem" as it has never been a problem for me.....
Why go to so much trouble?

nope no worky for me either... sorry.
my only other suggestions are:
try on camera p-ttl flash set to HS with off camera flash using a "Smart" optical slave that will ignore the pre-flash...
or use a second pentax p-ttl flash set to HS.....

Stephan... here is a little trick:
shoot a white wall in the dark, with your flash... starting at the current synch speed and f8 and moving up in increments from there until you get a solid black frame....
now look at each frame to see how much black you got in each frame... the black is not gonna have any flash lighting anything...
if (let us just pretend for example) 1/400 of a second gets you a half white half black frame then you know how to frame your outdoor shot.... the part of the frame that is lit by your flash is where your subject you are trying to light should be.... hold your camera vertically or upside down for example so the flash lights your subject and the part of the frame you know your flash isn't going to light is say blue sky, for one example...
does that make any sense to you?

If I was buying one of these evil cameras, my priority would be value. It should be cheaper than a true DSLR. Second in my mind would be IQ which should be the best available for the price. Third would be lens choice. Size would be my last consideration - as long as it was more compact than the smallest true DSLR.
So retaining the K-mount and apsc sensor would be a good thing in my book, at least compensating for the less compact size, providing the savings from not including a mirror were passed on in the price. As Don says, the Samsung NX camera is hardly smaller than the K-x anyway.
Doing it that way would give users the comfort of knowing they can upgrade to a mirror DSLR if they want in the future and retain their lenses.
actually the kx with pancake lens IS smaller and lighter than the nx with kit lens....If I was buying one of these evil cameras, my priority would be value. It should be cheaper than a true DSLR.

seems like a cost cutting measure long term... the kx so close in size to the samsung mirrorless camera, the real issue becomes "which lens do I use?" a pancake makes it compact size, a zoom makes it compact slr sized for either camera....
