They could make camera backs, with sensors and a couple of buttons perhaps, which fit to your existing MX or other classic SLR. Just take off the old camera back and click the new one into place!

(I can't see much wrong with your images, Dr.O).

I noticed a similar thing, but only in that the resized (600px) version was slightly softer than the version you see when you click through. The larger size version should be exactly as the image you upload looks, unless you exceed the maximum image size, for example uploading the original full-sized shot, which causes the forum software to kick in and make a real mess of your image.

I expect the cheapest, or possibly only, option would be to get another flash! You could use this one for painting with light (presuming it has a test button).

The issue seems to be more about getting the exposure closer to the desired image in the first place; get that right and there should be no noise issues with the Kr (or practically any camera!) The K7 is not known for low noise, but if the exposure is spot on, there is effectively no noise at ISO200.

The latest rumour doing the rounds lists the following improvements for the k5 successor -

1a. Miniaturization of interconnection process

1b. Larger microlens for the vaster area available for light capture.

2. They took long time to tweak a newly-designed 16MP imager without LPF

3. They spent a lot of time to tweak SAFOX X

Opening a RAW file with Photoshop should launch ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) which is the Raw-converter component of Photoshop.

If ACR doesn't appear to be there, go to this page and down load it:

You may have to sift through the different versions to find an update suitable for your version of Photoshop.

As said, PEF is Pentax's own proprietary RAW format, and DNG is an open format which will open in any raw converter. Therefore, from now on shoot in DNG format! There's a setting for this hidden in the camera menu system.

Update- glad the penny had already dropped!

It's a sure bet that it'll be much improved this time round.

First offer wins the item though, not first general expression of interest or request for pics! Always best to put a provisional offer down even if you want to wait for pics. It's a tough world
