CES 2011:

there was some future ways for photographers:
- to connect lens via wireless method
- some new hybrid tablet/notebook with Wacom touch/pen technology for editing pics etc.
(maybe, HDMI input of tablet/notebook will be, too

We can look forward to this things ...

Netbook with Atom D525(dual core 1.8GHz) + NVIDIA GT218 (for Photoshop, Silkypix etc.) + HDMI input (only for function bigger display of K-5 ... who will be first?) + via USB for data transfer from K-5 to netbook ...

Several batteries aren't problem... (classic of K-5 or AA)

I expect it with Seagull View Finder Magnifier 2.3X
+ 8'' Android 2.2 epad google Tablet iMX515 4GB
+ Nokia X03-02 ...

This is an interesting solutions for K-5:
1) HDMI display for K-5 and a graphic tablet for postprocessing:
Tablet Wacom Cintiq 12WX + cable HDMI to DVI
(better would be anything what runs on the battery)

2) some cheap notebook for a graphic and other programs like:
ASUS EEE PC 1005PX or faster ACER Aspire ONE D255

3) some mobilephone for internet GSM/3G connection

BUT!!! ... ONE device with all functions would be better and
max.weight 1kg, too

I will try K-5's LV via HDMI with 32''LCD next weekend.

But I hope that is possible with some Lilliput, Marshall etc. 7-10'' LCD:

When I would use some Tablet than I will be happy,
bacause I am plaining have an internet, e-book, mobile phone, maps, media-player, LCD for DSLR in one 7-10'' unit ...

Tablets/netbooks/notebooks don't have HDMI input,
but solutions for watching are a simply + 1/4 shoe mount ...

... there must be some impulse for producers !!!
Maybe Apple will buy Sony

I hope that we will get it soon,
some 7'' Android Tablet with HDMI input about 200USD.

When DSLR will be used USB 3 or Bluetooth 3 or 802.11n
than we would get Tablet for DSLR with watching + remote control + data storage etc.

I was obsessive and bought K-5:

... a new userfriendly ergonomic switches

I like a green light of AF in the dark
and AF is a better (Safox XI+)

But ... Prime II would be changed with some faster engine
or I have to switch off the all corections after shot ...

ISO ... a few better than K-x,
but I expected more, maybe firmware 1.02 - 1.xx would change it.

a video format and file size !!!

a price ... I was obsessive
... who want to have someting immediately,
must pay more ...

I am looking forward for K-5 and some ext.monitor:

If I was waiting for a better price of K-7 I bought K-x with better sensor of ISO sensitivity than my K20D
+ I bought DA* 300/4 ...

For me and my money would be more possibilities to buy:

1) some interesting expeditions with my current equipments

2) K-5 (+ to spend more and more money for accessories like 10'' external LCD monitor or a better viewfinder for my bad eyes + video and macro brackets + Stereo MIC and accessories) and I would sit at home ...

3) a new Sigma 8-16 + a new Metz 58 AF-2 (with 12mm zoom) + accesories
and I would sit at home ...

4) to sell some my equipments ...

What does Focus priority or FPS priority mode for AF.C mean?
Is there possible to use a continual AF during taking video?

DA* 50-135 is great lens ... but if I have the DA* 300
then I have the DA* 16-50 or some of (FA* 24 and/or FA 50/1.4) in the bag with it and my DA 50-135 is at home.

I think that better is to buy DA* 200/2.8 + some of (FA 50/1.4 or DA* 55
or FA 77 Limited)
or to buy only some of (FA 50/1.4 or DA* 55
or FA 77 Limited)

The best picture quality and economic is maybe combination of lenses:
DA 15 Ltd + DA* 55 + DA* 200.
