K5 cannot use a faster card than a Class 10... or so I have read

But it seems they clear the buffer quicker!

Up to what size and transfer speeds should I be able to use safely.
Depends on the type of shooting you want to do. If it's lots of shots in a small ammount of time. Then get as fast as you can. 170 plus mb/s... if not, then 45 to 90 mb/s is fine. As for size, as big or small as you want! I have a 64 in my K3, 32 in my K5 and K20D and 16's in my astro K-S2 and 600D.

I have had Kingston as well as other makes of card fail on me, but not Sandisk.

Sandisk.... I use Extreme with 90mb/s and upwards transfer rate. I have them in my K3, K5ii, K-S2, K20D and a Canon 600D. I don't use any other make!

If you look on crapazon or fleabay, you'll probably get an 8 or 16 gb card pretty cheap. Refurbished ones are even cheaper.

If two batteries are not holding a charge, it maybe worth trying a new charger.

Is there a camera shop nearby that stocks Pentax kit? They may be able to help.

Today I recieved my K-S2!

I am going to use it as an Astro Camera, but I thought I would take it out for a play.
