I have just got my K7 today and have tried putting the PEF files into PS elements 6 and for some reason PSE6 is not accepting them .. It says the files are damaged.. However I have always used elements for PEF and they were fine.. I can open the files in CS4 so I feel it is more than likely a problem with Elements

Has anyone else had this problem and solved it ? If so would you mind telling me how you sorted it please..
I have the latest raw update and also the pentax codec .
Thank you guys
Pete

Thanks you to all of you wise words as usual..
The camera is now sat here in front of me .. I have taken several shots and yes the shutter noise is really different to my K10 and so far I am really impressed with it. I have now come across another problem I have which I shall start a new thread about as it relates to Raw and elements ..

A thankyou to all for your comments

Anvh thank you for the input if the shutter is quieter then that would be a plus as I do a lot of wildlife photography. So although Hyram says its the last reason for changing a body it is something that does make a difference to me.

Thank you Daniel

1/ great
2/ dammit lol
3/ oh no more expense
4/ Thought not


It did

take care
Pete

I am considering buying the K7 + lenses tomorrow probably from SRS - I own an ist DL which I was very happy with so added a K10d to the collection, I now want to up the specs a bit more..
I have read several reviews and they all look good but I have a couple of questions to K7 Owners or those in the know

1/ Do the lenses I own now fit the K7?
2/ Are the On K10d batteries the same?
3/ Does the grip on my k10d fit the K7?
4/ Will I be disappointed ?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated

Thank you
Pete

Good luck .. just dont plan on having it in a NT building or grounds as you would need a wheel barrow to carry all of the release forms

LOL @ Richard DayI would gladly pay for you not to put it on lol - meant in the best possible taste

I would say it would be, as I publish my website on the internet

I am pleased to see it is not me getting to be a victor meldrew in my old age I had never even thought of photos like Durdle Door I have.. In fact thinking about it I have several beautiful shots of what happens to be national trust sites.. I am not an indoor person so the inside of the houses do not interest me I enjoy the architecture and the landscapes more..

Has anybody actually been told not to take photos at a site?
As I said in my OP I have never seen any sign so have obliviously snapped away with the full intention of putting the marketable shots up for sale. Without any obvious signage on the exterior part or on the cliff at Durdle door eg.. myself and many people like me will carry on doing so.. I just cannot see how the NT can take me to court for taking photographs of our land which is entrusted to them to care for..

While looking at a competition for garden photography I spotted this snippet from the nataional trust.. I have never seen a board at a trust site saying this so not sure how this would stand up in a courtroom .. but I felt it was totally unfair and also that I should inform you guys ...
