Even though the K-7 is smaller IMO it's handling is superb, especially with the optional grip which is actually more substantial than the K20 grip

I'm surprised. My Metz 58 runs out of puff after about 3 flashes at 3fps, even when set on a low power level, and then there's a big pause accompanied by whistling whilst it recharges.
My AF-360FGZ does exactly the same.I'm surprised. My Metz 58 runs out of puff after about 3 flashes at 3fps, even when set on a low power level, and then there's a big pause accompanied by whistling whilst it recharges.

Did you always use the usb from the camera to the PC?
I simply take my card out and pop it in my laptop or PC. I only use my usb cable when I do tethered photography.

Yes just habit Paul, I used the USB cable 99% of the time. Now with the rubber covers on the K-7 I'm less inclined to do that, the card removal and reader scenario makes more sense Telstar wrote:

I simply brought one of these - works a treat! no cables or readers needed at all, card straight out of the camera into the PC front Quote:

Edit: Sorry Jackie we're getting a bit off the topic here. Nice shots from your DA 18-55 WR btw

Looking for something cheap but good quality in this focal range myself so this thread has been most useful.
SimplyElectronics have this at £120 which looks like a good deal.

One on the left covers the USB, HDMI and external power supply connectors. On the right at the bottom covers the cable release connector.
I've now taken to removing the SDHC card instead of using the USB cable
I also agree with you regarding the little DA 18-55 WR. Not bad performer at all from my tests so far

Does it fire the flashgun at 5FPS? Or does the camera default down to around 3 FPS?
If you wouldn't mind setting the flashgun at say 1/16th power, manual, just to see if if it will do it, would be appreciated! (Didn't do it on the pre-production one!)

Personally, I think 90% of cameras are good for 90% of photographers needs. Any system will do very well for most people.
It's only if you have very specific requirements that you may need to choose one brand over another, although even that changes with every brands new camera release.
