A Pentax FF is not something new - as mentioned it was detailed and pictured donkey's years ago. However everything mentioned so far is a request for future releases so what's the point of this thread then?
Edit: That was 14 years ago!

Surprised no one's mentioned this already: When's the full frame (35x24) DSLR coming. Many have got impatient with the wait! Pentax designed one of the first of these but are the last to have one for sale. Surely not long?

Difficult to find advice on the devices the Flucard is compatible with, eg Kindle HD? It's an Android device but cannot find guidance on the issue. Result - I don't buy one just in case! A proper dedicated tether would seem more useful.

Hi nik111, great thread and agree on all the above suggestions. If something else comes to mind I'll post it here.

Secondly, the figures for relatively low-traffic sites are typically estimated based on some ranking (which itself is also often estimated). The false precision can give a false sense of confidence in the numbers.
It would be interesting to compare the estimated values with actual hits (you or Smeggy may be able to provide data).

Reckon you're right about projected monthly/annual figures. These are likely to include search engines but my site's history file now excludes those so I do not have a comparative figure. Before excluding them the number of hits each day was colossal but not particularly useful information. I also have pages for which no history is kept but a traffic recorder would include. I'm often amazed that on some Google searches some of my pages come out at the top of the list so they must be directing some traffic this way. Certainly folk have contacted me for copies of photos of historic views/items that aren't available elsewhere. I'm truly amazed anyone finds these photos given that they are on a hard drive in the spare bedroom! (Not bedroom-tax and not even all Pen-tax!)JAK wrote:

Why John believes such matters are confidential is strange given they can be easily found with a web search.
I would treat these figures with a pinch of salt.Blythman wrote:

The OP's last login was in 2011. He may have lost interest!

It might help if users aren't treated as young children. Yes, there'll always a need for some moderation, but there are limits in both directions.

There's some good landscapes to be had at Bempton too and nearby there's Flamborough Head.Bempton for me. Because I'm more interested in wildlife than landscape
I think, David, you'd best decide nearer the time after checking the weather forecasts. No real point in going to Bempton if it's pouring down.

Pentax are giving you the opportunity to ask their team of experts questions so if you want advice on a particular piece of kit, want to learn more about a certain type of technology or have any other question you think Pentax can help with, please post them here.
