According to Pentax, the K100D can take SD cards up to 2 GBytes with original firmware (v. 1.0.0). To use the SDHC card, the firmware must be upgraded to v. 1.0.2.
Anyway, in my opinion, 2 GBytes is more than sufficient for my purposes.
Best regards

SD can copes with 2Gb.
SD-HC copes with 32Gb (they added another 4-bits to the address).

Some cameras (I've heard some Canons have the issue as well) have a heavy IR filter (or the sensor isn't sensitive to IR) so although the IR gets inside the camera it isn't recorded.
BTW, is there some list with cameras that do/not support IR?

Recently i got an IR filter and tried it out on my K100D. As far as i'm concerned - everythings ok. https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4815
BUT!
I tried it on my sisters Nikon D40X, and nothing. It just makes completely black pictures. We tried different modes, nothing. What could be the problem? Could this be, that D40x doesn't work with IR?

Now it's my turn to try out that fancy infra-red photography Just got that Hoya R72.
Could someone give me some tips, guidelines, ideas etc for taking IR pictures? What's the best mode for shooting?
This pic i took with ISO800 and no tripod. I guess tripod and a lower ISO is a must?

K100D, kit lens.
P.S. Do polarizers still work with IR filters? Didn't have time to check that out properly.

There's also the Expodisc (which I love), but that's expensive too.

What cameras do you use? What software? And most back isn't actually black anyway...
Software - used to use Photoshop. Now turning to Lightroom. But the thing is, i want to avoid this problem "in camera", so i don't have to use software later.
"And most back isn't actually black anyway..." - well, yes, but how to make it look black then?

This (d)effect haunts me and makes me crazy. We make car tests, and often the car seats are black. But on pictures they appear as violet. I can't tune it down, without really photoshoping it.
Plus, i just found out, that it's not just on car seats. I went to the zoo, and that pitch black llama also turned purple. Why? And is there a way to correct it in camera?
I used different cameras, this happens with all of them.

Since the iPhoto uses QuickTime for video playback, i installed Perian codecs for QT, but that doesn't help either. Even the universal VLC has problems playing those files.
I don't care much for those videos, but what i want is normal import. Now i have to remove those videos from camera, before starting iPhoto import.
Anyone has a solution for this?
