It only clouds the issue though 50mpCMOS, nobody is using such huge capacities in a camera, even if such is available as an SD card.

I shoot JPEG and use 4GB or 8GB cards. If I were to be shooting RAW routinely then I'd probably be looking at 16GB as standard, possiby 32GB if I took a lot of images. Even Pentax have only a 16GB Flucard, which I suppose indicates that it's ;ikely to fulfill the needs of our cameras.

Are these JPEG or RAW files?

I'd try opening them in Photoshop, opening them in the Pentax software that came with the camera, maybe using recovery software to try and read the images, in extremis maybe formatting the card and then using recovery software. As a last resort this does sometimes work.

You could also try a different card reader.

I've just finished work for the day. We shot a wedding on Saturday and today I've made the first 105 pages of the wedding book. I think enough is enough for one day, seeing I started at about 10am.

Hopefully tomorrow will see it finished and sent for printing.

Now, Jack Daniels and Coke I think....

Spot on dangie. Used with Live View it gives you a live picture, or you can have a picture of whatever is being played back. Wahtever appears on the rear screen appears on the monitor or projector. Very useful for giving talks.

Most of the hiking we've done involved rain, so the choice of Pentax is definitely a sound one! Welcome and have fun!

Basically, operating the camera via a laptop or other computer.

The new K-S2 might answer your question. Connect to your smartphone or tablet.

We are so close to the Hitch Hiker's Guide now, with a tablet and Google it's all there.......Nice picture too.

Very interesting set, thanks for posting. There's lots of activity from spray and smoke, giving the images the life that's so often missing from racing shots. A great sense of movement and action throughout.

The K20D is the sturdier camera, with WR and is built to the higher professional standards of its line. I'm still using one as a backup and as a studio camera and it doesn't look like it's going to give up soon.

The K-r actually IMHO handles better and is a bit faster with its more recent AF system. However, it belongs to the lower cost line and may not be so durable in heavy use. I've never run one of these to its end of life, so I can't be more specific than surmising.
