given the list of features, particularly the use of the powerzoom contacts to power usm lenses and the incamera raw processing, I'd say that it's entirely possible that pentax has been reading our posts here.
Seems to me that they're listening and making descisions based on what their existing ownwers want alongside the existing markets demand.
I see a d10 in my near future.
I've seen the wireless pttl listed in some articles but the manual seems to say it's not.
I can live with it either way

I hope for an slr that has the ability to process it's own raw files better... (fully programable set up as custom functions) (processed and sharpened the same way I'd do it on my mac, done way I like). That coupled with software on my mac that'll record all the alterations I've done on one version of the file (say for example the jpeg in srgb for web/dvd) and apply them to the other (eg raw in adobe rgb for print) file when needed (like when i click print).

in other words adobe lightroom/apple aperture are a step in the right direction, but what's lacking is a camera with enough processor to handle transfering capture ones duties to a custom function in the camera.

on this side of the pond, I'd write a detialed letter, pay to have it notorized, and send it registered mail to BOTH pentax and Jessops.
noting like a paper trail to stop the buck passing. Notihng like a paper trail with a lwyaer/barristors stamp to let'm know they're one mistake away from landing in court or the press.

I got myself a lowepro computracker aw backpack....a couple weeks ago.
thought maybe some might want a littel review.
zippers seem tough...it stands up to a light rain (also has a built in raincoat that should stand up to torrential rainfall)
all my stuff (2 slrs 4 lenses and batteries, macbook and wacom grafire tablet, two flash units and cables filters tripod etc) everythings survived commuting by bus one and a half hr each way to school and a weekend of camping and hiking.
interior doesn't scratch the lcds or the rediculously delicate macbook finish.
looks to be well built, and well thought out. but most of all IT'S COMFY!!!
I've had more than my fair share of bumps and bruises in my life, and the list of old injuries would leave some amazed I can even walk upright.
that I can load 80 lbs (slight exageration...I never actually weighed it)of gear into that bag, hang it off a torso that's had severe neck and back injuries, a shoulder thats be dislocated twice, and an entire sternum dislocated and hike through rugged canadian shield for 4 km hikes says it all...they should pay me.
I like it.

got it to repeat.
when using the 360 flash in contrast control mode, with the builtin camera flash and adapters (hotshoe fg, shoe adapter f and short cable)
when the batteries on the flash ran down, a red line appeared in one of the images. an apparent write error to the memory card.

A couple of shots I took on the weekend have lines through them.
It seems the ones I shot using the 360 flash in contrast control mode (with the popup flash and off camera wires hotshoe adapters etc), after I got a low baterry warning.
Will format the card and run some tests today, but suspect the flash pop dropped the already low power when the camera was trying to write to the card.
comments or suggestions anyone?
