Given the impressive feature set and competitive price point of the new Pentax K70 how long will it be before Pentax announce an updated K3 iii and what features will it have?
Thought they just did, they call it the K-1. It doesn't have to be used as a full frame camera, just set it to APS-C mode and upgrade it instantly to full frame when you're ready at no further cost. Two cameras in one!

Am I missing something here? You have already entered this competition. You can't post two photos. That's why you don't have the button anymore?
You've solved it, well done. Only one entry can be made.

I doubt Paul can do anything.
Try JohnX's link to the entry page in the previous post. If that didn't work go to the competition page and use the ' Report Problem / Suggestion' at the very bottom of the page. That will flag it up to whoever at the site is available.
If it gets late tonight and nothing seems to have happened to resolve it, add a note to the competition comments section that you have an image to upload but cannot do so! Upload your photo to the normal gallery if you can and make a further comment on the competition page that links to it so Paul can consider it in his judging and someone from the site may hopefully be able to move it for you. I can't promise this will resolve it but its the best I can think of to get it considered. You must be really frustrated, I know I would.

Ever thought of going back to Win7/8 ? I was a staunch GWX user to prevent being got to Win10 by MS's devious update means!

Just had another thought. Log out of the site and log back in again, worth a try. I'm guessing here but perhaps it could also be to do with cookies. It is odd though because you can add comments and everything else.

Yes, exactly the same. I'm sure it did work when I tried it just after getting the K-1, but since then Android has been updated so suppose that is where the issue lies.
Originally I seem to remember the app struggled to communicate properly and wouldn't accept the SSID code. At least that seems OK now.

Image Sync works with the built in camera Wi-Fi with the phone logging on to the camera's local Wi-Fi hot spot. Nothing to do with the flu card which was their earlier method of transferring photos.
The new Wi-fi system leaves both camera card slots free for memory cards whereas the Flu card takes up one of them.
Image sync is a full remote control for the camera and it should display the image from the Live View screen on the phone, only that image is missing. Ideally you could tap the subject on the phone's screen and that would be set as the focus point. It would be good if it worked!

That's what is should be like!

It might be worth trying several things.

Refresh the page - control + F5.
Clear the browser cache. It might for some reason be partly seeing the page as if you aren't logged in (but don't ask me why it should!) Then another page refresh.
If still no luck, reboot the computer and try again.

I used to get something similar happen on eBay pages and refreshing helped momentarily but ultimately a browser update cured it.

If all else fails I'd suggest PM'ing john Riley about the problem to see what he suggests.

Could someone do a screen shot showing where it is for him?

Image Sync - Has anyone got it working properly?
Yes with an iPad, not my iPhone.
What about on an Android phone? Seems odd that Ricoh produce a phone app for the K-1 and K-S2 that only half works!
