Still don't trust online backup and without any good reason not to either! I'll get there in the end toough as will most I feel...
It's funny, people won't spend £40 for a years online backup but they'll go out and spend over hundred on a USB3 External, just to have it at home, theres no reason as you clearly state that it is safer but for some reason it feels it...

RAIDS are good but then so is an external, both is even better but too much redundancy for most, i recently lost both Raided Drives in my old PC but hat a 2TB external Backup with all my Photies on! Graphics cards are a stranger one, Macs can use the Graphics card Memory first if you want and leave system Memory alone a bit.
Win7 is similar.

So for certain (Lower end) systems it can be an advantage, so these days it's worth paying a little more for a reasonable Graphics Card but not something stratospheric as thats completely over the top...

There is a slight decrease in Gaming performance here but for Photoshop etc there are real gains..

Anyone read the AP hands on of the K-01 yet?

Local resident spots his first Pentax of the year!

Cheers Guys, I've decided to go RAW but it's also evident that I may not need it that often judging by the DR I have available...AGAIN!

Redux! :arrow:

Finally got some Air Time with the new K5 and the 17-70
Very pleased!
Nothing serious, just a play, still need to work out my settings and stuff and remember to sRGB my Jpegs! Apolgies for the washed out look!
but I'm a happy boy...

Thanks, Axel, I'd forgotten about the programmable settings, (Give me a break I haven't had a Pentax for a whole six months) So RAW it is then, I'll have a play with the set up options, I've dove straight into the thing without re-reading the manual as usual I was thinking I'd just remember it all from my last K5, alas my memory is not what it was...

Yeah I noticed that! Thought I'd bust it already! Same with the Sony A77 I had, they are enthusisats Camera's for fiddlers, so I can't understand why it cannot work when your shooting RAW+Jpeg too? Shoot the three Raws and leave em alone and then stitch/overlay the Jpeg giving you four shots, three RAW nad one Jpeg. I would'nt mind the extra wait either, switching about thru the Formats like that is a bit of a cludge, I'll likely just set the progammable button on the front for bracketing?

As the Frog Said: "Reddit" I know the technicalities of HDR but just not where the K5 is concerned, and was really just wondering if the K5 can achieve good results out of the box using it's in Camera HDR jpegs? For my website/Sales I'll wait until I can use it properly, until then it was just for kicks...
