I was searching around and found some free samples of vector STYLED art peices that were listed as free but the files themselves were lower res jpegs and pdf files that do not scale up to large sizes I might want...

I'd wait until the Q hits shelves and the reviews are in before deciding on this one....

Not got time to read the replies just yet but I have another question that I need to post before i go out tonight k-r or k-x? I've read a review that compares them both and it suggests the latter is better? 380 quid for the twin lens kit!

Thoughts? and thanks again for the replies, I'll reply when I get a chance tomorrow.

Cheers.
the kx was the better VALUE when the kr was first released, but now that the kr has been out for a while and street prices have dropped..... I'd say buy the kr if you can, the kx if the price difference really matters...

the kx did not suddenly become a lousy camera, it is still every bit as good as it ever was, and if your kids need new shoes, then pass on the kr, if not, the kr is worth the price difference.
Does that help?

Less than a broken SDHC slot.
you can break those? that has got to be rare, and perhaps caused by a factory defect?
A defective card, just use a crud card and watch the fins snap off in the slot. I've got a nasty 32Gb Kingston card that is not going near my camera.[/quote]I was asking about a defective card slot, not a defective card.

I have to strongly (but politely) disagree with that comment.

I have had card readers which you completely corrupted cards, and the cheaper the reader, the more likely it is to happen.

The card reader/writer built into the camera is of a far, far higher specification so you are much safer using a USB lead and having the card in the camera.
I've seen both firewire and usb ports on cameras, dvd burners and other computer peripheral break from rough handling or constant use, plugging and unplugging... card readers are cheap and easy to replace... but what does a damaged usb port do to the resale value of an expensive camera?

this is no different than the uv filter "For Protection" debate...

So go with what works for you.
