I'd like Live View, if it is done properly and doesn't nobble normal operation when you use it. I'd like the extra pixels, faster autofocus, 'better' anti-shake (better how?) and the 3" screen (again, if that means more pixels).
But things I'd like that don't require new hardware:
* to be able to adjust exposure settings while the last image is being written
* to be able to delete a whole day's worth of shots in one go
* to have compressed .dng files
* switch off pre-flash on the pop-up flash so it doesn't crap on slave flash units
* time lapse shooting
Things I'd like that do require new hardware but weren't mentioned:
* support for SDIO cards and saving images over WiFi.
* emergency power by AAs
* flash pc socket
Shouldn't it be called the K1D?
Anyway, I'd probably buy one.

I have one of these too - the same model & size.
I love it for working on images. It works brilliantly in the Gimp on any recent Linux system. Just take it out of the box, plug it in and go. No messing about with drivers.
And you get a cordless mouse that doesn't need batteries in the package.
I'm probably going to get another one soon, the A6 for use with my laptop.

Given the random nature of the topics and the judging, I'm inclined not to take it quite so seriously any more.
Just have fun.
I mean - "Something on toast"!
You thought last week's as awkward.

I really wouldn't worry about it. This will identify those with an imagination as well as those who can spot a good image....I perhaps should have chosen a more conventional specific theme.
I'm off to get my bike from having a service. Who knows what photo opportunities may arise...

I haven't been able to find a Linux program able to do the job of Pentax Browser
What I do is
dcraw -e *.PEF
the -e tag extracts the embeded JPG image, which gives you something to look at in deciding which photos to process with your RAW converter of choice. I like UFRAW, which has recently had an upgrade and is now even better than it used to be.
Have you tried the latest Picasa for Linux? It now understands K10D PEFs and is a very useful browser.I haven't been able to find a Linux program able to do the job of Pentax Browser

My new toy pc has a program called Gwenview. This contains a Raw Image Converter, which looked promising until I presented it with a PEF.
Quote: Failed to identify Raw Image
DCRAW command line: dcraw -c -i IMGP5119.PEF Cannot decode IMGP5119.PEF
So it seems to be using DCRAW, which I thought could handle PEFs from the K10D.
And if it has access to DCRAW, does that mean it's already installed?
Strange.

Recent versions of DCRAW do support PEFs. You must have an old version.My new toy pc has a program called Gwenview. This contains a Raw Image Converter, which looked promising until I presented it with a PEF.

Very interesting. I'll be taking a close look at that.
Thanks very much.
I wonder if I can make it understand .pefs.

Our house was broken into when I was a kid and it left a lasting impression on me. I don't take any risks with security now.
