Sounds normal. Mine does this too but I didn't ever view it as a fault. Liveview and video are power hungry. It's actually quite handy that you get that warning that the battery is getting a bit low, but can still use the camera without liveview for a good time longer.

Perhaps we should be glad Which? don't review Pentax cameras anymore. The last one I read - for the K200D - was completely innaccurate and misleading. It omitted most of the key features... like weathersealing, surely the K200D's USP!

Nice of you to offer a 'parting gift' - enjoy your new camera.

Welcome to the forum Izwan. It's worth checking ebay for used 50mm lenses, and the f1.4 one is perhaps the best, but I would recommend having a go with some of the old manual ones. Particularly the 50mm f1.7. If you struggle with how to use it on the K-x, we're always ready to help out!

Greg, it's probably searching your whole pc for images. I'm sure you can instruct it to import from one folder only. In future you then can add shots to that folder, and synchronise it after adding new shots.

Got the lens today. Just had a quick play with it after work, and it seems pretty good wide open at f4 - i'm well pleased! The bokeh looks like it'll be good too. No wonder they call this a sleeper lens. Thanks Chris.

Aww look at the iddle puddy tat! Don't you just wanna squeeze those paws!

Re the 10-20, these shots show that it can be plenty sharp enough, especially if you take care with your focussing, as the lens has lots of 'field curvature' which creates blurrier edges in some shots than others.

It is quite a difficult lens to focus with in my experience - I can point it at different objects and the camera does not attempt to refocus, so I have to throw the focus completely out, by pointing it at my hand or something, before trying again. I'm getting better results using live view and manual focusing.

Think you need to be marketing these a bit more towards the trendy design crowd, who might appreciate a funky retro accessory or gift, but might not have any knowledge about old cameras!

Personally I find that irrelevant. Property owners can be just as guilty as vandals of blighting an area.

Looks very much like Israel trying to keep the middle east 'nuclear free'. Oh - apart from themselves, of course!
