A photographer told me that I could use a Metz Flash with a Pentax and a shutter synch of 1/500. I this is true, how can it be done? If not, what is the greatest shutter synch possible on the K10?

I have the K10D but here is how I see it. I don't care for vieo either, and If I had to replace my camera, I would assess what kinds of pictures I was taking, and see how much the K20 and K 7 were. The K-7 may not be worth the extra money. I can get a K20 for about 500 quid brad new. The K-7 for me, would not be worth the extra money.

As far as i know, Pentax has two formats of filing, STD and Date. I hve been using date filing for a while, but when I turn off the camera and them use it later, my pictures are stored in the one file that was created. Is there a setting, which will create a new file for new picures or can I manually create one? I am using the K10D. If not, would I have to use the STD format?

how much are you willing to pay for one? I might be able to find one for you.

Yesterday, I read something on the board regarding a new Pentax being launched. Did this new camera turn out to be the K-7 or was the rumour started after the K-7 graced us with its presence? I had heard that the K-7 was to be the K-1D and have 18.6MP with a full frame C-MOS sensor. The rumour I had read on here, was that the new Pentax was to be their first Pro camera. I am still holding out for a Pentax with a faster shutter synch.

Great pic, did you do ant PP?

There are some people on this board who use the Pentax K-M, one in particular from Newfoundland, which had me thinking. I was confused regarding the K-M. In the UK,Europe and Canada, you can buy the K-M. In America, you buy the K2000. The K-M has greater ISO but not the same weather protection as the K2000. You can get the K2000 in white, along with two kit lenses which come with the camera. The lenses are also white. Why would Pentax or any other manufacturer change specs on a camera. The Canon Rebel xt was the Rebel 500D in Europe. It seems Pentax can't afford the cost of diferent specs on the same camera for diferent regions.

There is a Karsh fesival going on in Ottawa and around the world this year. The pic in my avatar made Karsh famous

He travels to the UK every year.

I know of a few photographers who use Pentax. Here is a link to a chap who uses the K10D. I really like his work.
