There's also Asahi Photo - around the same price.

Ditto Huw's comment (well, I would, seeing as I have his old K7 + grip )... but the weather sealing is important to me. Admittedly I could get away without the grip for 75% of the time.

It would, of course, depend on whether you have WR lenses
I've been in torrential rain with K20D+grip+50-135 and not worried at all about the camera!

If you only have non-WR lenses, then these other grips look like a reasonable idea.

@Clarky: Wow! You did really well on those deals!

(Note: there is an iPad camera connector kit that allows USB or SD card support. But then the iPad is only 16Gb-64Gb... which isn't a great deal for cameras, unless you're using JPG only)

...maybe, maybe not. It seems primarily aimed at Adobe CS5's ability to compile Flash for iPhone
(Although the loose terms of 3.3.1 seem to take in a very large swathe of the current apps )

Here's my list:

GoodReader Lite - very good PDF reader with search ability! Really helpful to carry around the camera user manual etc

Keeper - for anything password related.

iDOF Calc - quite a nice little DoF calculator

Exp. Lite - useful if you can't remember exposures by eye

Day Tides - can be useful to know the tide. The free app only shows you the current day's tide information (which will do for me)

Sun Moon - helpful sunrise & sunset calculations. Had a couple of flaky times on iPod Touch when there's no WiFi though.

Planets - has sun/moon compass, 3D planetarium, and sunrise-sunset information as well.

NationalTrust - if you can live by their photography rulings () then this has all the NT places to visit. Pretty handy when out and about.

...and some more besides


Don't think I can think of anything Pentax-related that will be useful enough. If the iPod/iPhone had IRDA then a Pentax remote release would've been handy.


EDIT: Perhaps they need Nikon apps to locate the functions on the camera? Pentax menus and functions are always soooo logical by comparison

Huw - definitely enjoying the K7 (after the initial "huh?" with the menu differences after the K20D!). Thanks!
