Can you just clarify for me whether these speeds are MB (megabytes) per sec or Mb (megabits) per sec?

The big advantage of the sort of competitions that we run here is that it gives us another person's view of our work. Sometimes we can be our own worst judges, so it does help to point out things that we can take on board or not as we wish.

Generally it helps us all to improve and hopefully doesn't ever discourage anyone from trying again.

The scoop seems to have already been offered to the world here on Pentax User! Surely anyone in the industry knowing anything about anything would know already what the original post really means? :

As we all get used to posting competition entries in the gallery section, which saves the need for a hosting service, perhaps it would help if you used that method instead?

I think probably the main reason though for the lack of entries is the requirement for them to be new images taken within the competition period. Many people don't have the time or opportunity to do that - I know that generally I don't.

Unfortunately though if you remove that requirement then it loses its point as we already have an open weekly competition.

I believe there can also be overheating problems where cameras are not designed to take Lithium batteries.

When manufacturers advise against the use of a particular battery there is a reason behind it. Perhaps if they explained why it would help.

Which older design do you think it could be?

See you there this time, hopefully!

Just one entry per person, unless otherwise stated, and you might find it isn't possible to enter any more than that.

At the top of the Home page Gallery>Competitions will take you to the page.

Your best bet is to go to a dealer and try it and see.

Failing that, save some money and buy the FA version instead?
