That happened to me as well.

I'll post the link if David doesn't mind - K-7 Battery. It looks fairly reasonable and has the same 1860mAh as the Pentax variant.

When I got first cameras for my kids one of the over-riding factors was how they handled for people with child-sized hands and fingers - the best compact camera in the world will be no good if it is too hard for your son to hold and grip with security. I would therefore err towards something slightly chunky rather than stylishly svelte. I don't know how that translates into Pentax compacts, but this may be a point worth bearing in mind as you look around.
Thanks Jon, I hadn't thought of that. In fact I remember one of the first cameras I used when I was his age was fairly chunky, I don't know the name of the format but the film was in a black cartridge and the flash was in a cube that you bought seperately. Each time the flash was used and you wound the film on the cube revolved round so the next flash could be used.

Thanks for all of your advice so far

I'm looking to buy a compact camera for my 7 year old son at some point in the near future, it will have to be fairly simple for him to operate. Out of the Pentax range does anyone have any ideas? I've seen that SRS have the E80 at the moment which might be suitable. I'm not considering a DSLR for him yet as he's not old enough

As I use Fastone for resizing my images for Flickr, etc, I have noticed that you can create a watermark using that program as well. There is one there already but that is standard fastone text. Has anyone used this program to create a new watermark and if so how do you do it?

From my own observations and experience tripods can be a bit restrictive for airshow photography. Having said that I went to a show at the Shuttleworth Collection last year and there were a few people using them, that might have been due to the fact that a lot of the aircraft there are a lot slower.
