Having said that, on reflection, the K-5 & K-R are pretty good attempts to produce better spec'd cameras for less dosh - but I know what you mean, Pentax themselves forgot to tell the general public about them!

1. Is it a 'fast' SanDisk card (eg a class 10) or a slower one. If it's a slower one the camera may not be able to write to it fast enough.I have a Pentax K7 with a 32 GB SanDisk.

2. Does it do that in all resolutions? It should keep going longer at lower resolutions when it doesn't have so much data to write to the card.

But just imagine how promising the K5 technology could be in a full-frame body: increased picture quality associated with solid high ISO performance —a dream!

Good to see a review that isn't based on the familiarities of the reviewer, such as the one in the Digital Photo Review thread link
John
Seems a reasonable starting off point for a camera with that spec.
Given it looks good too it might do well. Personally I'd rather they'd have included a viewfinder!

Well Hoya just let things tick over. We haven't seen what Ricoh might do yet.

Great detail. How did you keep it still? It's hard enough trying to swot them!

Edit: Oh it was dead. Guess it had to be.

Well at least the K-5 got to be included.
I suppose if the reviewer is more used Canikons he would be more familiar with their menu systems. I don't think you can beat the one on the K-5 where all the main functions are available together on one of the INFO screens. I've no idea for sure if that is on Canikons as well but a quick peruse of their menu systems in their respective manuals suggests not. Their normal menu systems are much the same as the K-5's so hardly any less intuitive.
Actual article is in the magazine, not on the web.

The wonderful Royal Mail, not.
I ordered some goods on line, had confirmation from vendor that the order had been received and was being picked/packed, later in the day received notification that goods had been despatched, via Royal Mail, together with a trace and track reference number.
This morning I went on to the Royal Mail trace and track page, entered the reference number. This is the message which came up -
“Parcels Can Only Be Tracked After Delivery Has Been Completed”. :
Take care.
I sent a parcel on Jan 18th by Recorded Delivery and it is still showing something similar, "Item ... is being progressed through our network for delivery." I'm pretty sure the parcel made it OK as the person receiving it has left relevant feedback on eBay!
So much for track and trace.
