The pound is also increasing in value again causing imports to rise in cost...

An increase in value of the pound should mean a drop in the price of imports, but make exports more expensive. That's why currencies are devalued so as to reduce demand for imported items and make sales of exported items more attractive to overseas buyers.

I prefer to support Pentax Pro dealers but if anyone can't quite reach their c£850 prices for the 20-40 lens there is a big saving to be made at Amazon UK link

Try SRS, it's cheaper than that link.

At least Ricoh are continuing to support the older Pentax range with firmware updates. Samsung are not doing that the with GX20 and earlier GX models, one can't even download the last firmware update they provided now, let alone any new ones.

Yes, some players may be Able to play it unmodified, like some DVD players can play avi files.

Agreed that you cannot play HD video on a DVD player, the format is not supported. But if A DVD (or CD even) is created with the Blue-Ray directory structure the disc should play OK on a Blue-Ray player. You'd loose capacity but the 20 minutes or so is equivalent to an old cine two-reeler (about 20 minutes) so would be fine for many short productions where the capacity of a Blue-Ray disc would be wasted.

The second part of your post is not really correct - DVD does not support high definition video. The most you can get on DVD is standard PAL 720x576, and there's not much point in running bit rates beyond about 9,000mbps.

Sure? See http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-elements-10/get-hd-quality-on-standard-...

Here is a terrible 'review'
The user has not actually used a K-3, exceptionally annoying !!!!

There's a very pleasant comment from a well equipped Nikon user who has added a K-3 to his kit and suggests to viewers to disregard the video as the author is sadly mistaken. Not surprising as the video author himself makes the comment he hasn't even tried a K-3. How can someone make such comments without even trying the camera; what a waste of space.

So how do you get the K-3 to autofocus while videoing. I've not managed to do that or have I missed a hidden menu option?

Press the AF button while recording
It's not continuous AF but with a little practice it's better than nothing

Thanks, yes, so it does. Use a quiet focussing lens and there's no noise at all. Nothing to do with the camera body.

With BT there used to have free web space - now gone.

Then there was the digital vault - now gone.

Flikr - going... going...

Then there's BT Cloud, BT sport - think they're still there but for how long?

Seems no loyalty is shown to customers.
