Haven't seen any myself, but I understand there are kingfishers on the banks of the Wandle/Wilderness Island, about a 10 minute walk from where you shot the 'rapids'.

Yes. I bought one from a third party supplier via Amazon Marketplace. Amazon sorted it, (and him), very quickly though.

Nice, and virtually on my door-step!

Microglobe?

First thing I'd do is clean all the contacts. The sellers comments imply these may not have been used recently, so the contacts could have tarnished.

Although you can fit far more on a larger card, it also means that it you lose the card, or it corrupts, you potentially lose more shots too!

I accept the fact that it's convenient not swapping cards over frequently, and would use a large card for video (if I shot video).

For me, 8gb is BIG; I normally use a collection of 4gb cards and swap them out frequently whilst I'm out and about, whether full or not. They're carried in a waterproof card safe. Contents of the cards are uploaded to a portable hdd from time to time during the day as backup, with contents left on the locked SD card until I'm home

I shoot Raw+JPEG on a K5II.

And 'yes', I appreciate this doesn't directly answer the OP's question, but I want a bit of balance in this thread. Bigger is not always better.

Stating the obvious I know, but depending on how much is shot an 8gb card can be more than big enough! Why not go for more 8gb cards?

Thanks Paul.

Anyone come across, use this? http://pktriggercord.sourceforge.net/

NB. Includes Android so should be ok on most tablets?

End of month bump. Offers welcomed!

How do you communicate between the PC and camera?

I would agree with you, but the OP on the other forum seems genuine in what he reports and I can't see what else would have had cleared the yellow?
