I agree with Dangermouse though... must be a bit of a thankless job being a PCSO. Sort of caught between the devil and the deep blue sea in terms of peoples expectations at what you are empowered to do.

It is good to know about the 'ground rules' though

Yes I think that one is if you look closely at the photo

He's posted the same thing to other sections as well. This is clearly spam rather than an innocent mistake.
Yes just noticed that too...

Robert, you would be better served posting this in the classified section

They do a cheaper price than that for the 20MB/s version: £29.99:

The 30MB/s version provides no advantage in a Pentax camera that I've detected so far.
Fair enough
To be honest I've only used the 30MB/s version and it works like a charm. The only other cards I have are a couple of Transcend class 6 cards and they not up to video with the K-7.

To the OP, in my opinion I would stick with user experiences rather than experimenting with unknowns as they will likely end up costing you more in the long run.

Edit: typo

A PCSO cannot arrest unless it is for a indictable offence they are not a fully trained police officer, (I don't have much dealings with PCSOs being traffic, but I know they do not have the same powers as me.) and then it is only to hold him at the scene until a Police Officer can deal with the offence. If they hold you for any other reason, they are then committing the offence of false imprisonment.
So they can only hold you for a indictable offence otherwise they are possibly in trouble themselves?

Yes it is interesting, thanks.
Not that I have been in this sort of circumstance but it is useful to know as carrying a camera around with you seems to be a bit of a liability these days

Interesting, do PCSOs also come under that umbrella with respect to being able to make arrests?

I agree on the extra memory front. When I had XP I used a matched pair of 1GB sticks (2GB) and it ran very nicely.
