How about HERE??

The firmware update has to be in the root of the SD card
(i.e. in D:, not DCIM100PENTX or wherever the images are stored)

First off, George is right. Well very, very nearly
On its own, an "A" series 50mm lens (manual focus) cannot magically focus itself - it's missing all the cogs and linkages to do that But the camera can give you focus confirmation (so you turn the focus ring and the camera tells you if it's in focus).
You need to switch the body focus mode to "M" (rather than AF). When you half press the shutter the camera will indicate if it's in focus - look at the green octagon at the bottom (not the red dot overlay).

If you get the (rare) Pentax 1.7x AF converter, then a manual lens becomes auto-focus, but a touch longer focal length too

I agree with you on that goldiesel
Hate LCD live previews

Matt

Do they make APS-C sensors? I've only known them doing the compact camera CCDs?
Unless they're going to dispense with the shutter and mirror, stick a super high res LCD in the viewfinder, and develop an extra large CCD with faster shifting (which is well within Samsung's abilities I reckon) - so you get the live preview of a compact but the quality of a DSLR with lens change ability.

Thinking, thinking, thinking...
Matt

Until when?? Will Pentax be letting the cat out of the bag soon? Or is this just a potential...

Nice to know about the large print shot - did you get any comments from others (esp. pro photogs)?
Matt

Nice one Don

When's dinner ready??

Maybe Pentax are going to get a new Crispy Chicken Dinner

PS: How on earth did this thread go so wildly off topic??

LOL! Now the question is... are you smiling because of the lunch, or because of the news??
