Much thanks for the clarification, Gary/JohnX. Hmmm, it's interesting that Class 4 can be faster than Class 10. Guess I'll have to test out the Class 10 vs Class 4 SDHC on the K-r when I receive them later, as I don't know what's the memory and processor for the K-r is like - anybody knows?


Regards to all.

Thanks for the comforting info, GREYNOLDS999.

But then, the other issue is, will Class 10 SDHC work faster than Class 4?

Eh, Gedski, so are u saying that what Harry has commented is not correct? Would appreciate yours or others input.

Thanks and regards.

Thanks for your quick reply, HARRY. That's what I think so too. But it's good to get a confirmation as well.

Regards.

Hi again guys

How are u guys doing? This time around, I wonder if I'm asking a silly question. When I bought the Pentax K-r camera, I paid slightly extra to get a Class 4 32G SDHC for the camera. The 'free' package was for the Class 4 8G SDHC card. My question is, during the Black Friday Sale, I've asked a friend to get me the 32G Class10 SDHC from BestBuys. Being a novice to SDHC and the different classes, I wonder if the Class 10 32G SDHC will work for the K-r model. What I know from Wikipedia on online search is the Class 10 Read/Write speed is supposed to faster than Class 4, and is better suited for video. Fyi, my intention for getting the Class 10 SDHC was initially meant for shooting some videos, but I wonder if it can also be used for shooting photos. My thoughts are 'yes', but thought I'll double-check with you guys. Else, I'll reserve the Class 10 for strictly videos, and ask my friend to get me the Class 4 over the Xmas holidays, provided there's a sale.

Thanks again, and best regards.

Much thanks for your reply, CRAFTYSNAPPER. Eh, you mean the DA or DA-L lenses? Fyi, I've already purchased BOTH the lens hoods from eBay but they are for my DA-L (and not DA) lenses. Anyway, I hope they'll arrive within a week or so.

Thanks guys. You folks have really, really been very, very helpful!

Rgds to all!

Thanks for the info and caution, PHOTOADDICT. Luckily, I tried the cheap battery holder for K-r, and it fitted nicely.

However, the plastic cheap battery holder looks rather thin, so I'm not sure how long it can last. In any case, I haven't really started using this yet, as it's more meant for 'emergency', and the rechargeable battery that came along with the K-r is still relatively new, and has served me well - with the last charge, I manage to get @ 500 pics, and the battery has not died out on me yet.

Oops! If after Myanmar, I won't be in KL, cos I'll only be back to KL on Dec 24. Another time, another place then.

You have a wonderful holidays too!

Nah, Nov-Dec is normally the rainy seasons here. But it also depends on which part of KL/Malaysia you'r going to be in. Anyway, the world weather has changed, so let's hope you won't get wet while in KL.

As for you being in Yangon from Dec 8-10, looks like I won't be able to meet u too, cos I'll be in a meditation retreat, and don't think I 'll be going for a walkabout in Yangon town. 😉 say, that reminds me. What are the dates u'll be in KL cos I'm only leaving on Dec 6. Maybe we could catch up on a cuppa.

Going to Bangkok after that? Hmm, hopefully the flood has subsided. But then, there could still be some big cleaning up to do. Anyway, it's not that the whole of Bangkok is flooded, so u should good to go.

Yes, a tripod is good to have. And these days, there are plenty of light ones, so u don't have to worry too much about extra weight. It's actually th size/height of the tripod u may wish to consider, since u will be port ING this around.

Thanks for your feedback on this question. Good to hear I don't need to take out the filter, else it defeats the purpose. I would assume the same logic applies to the 50-200mm lens hood too. Cross my fingers, cross my toes ...

One more thing .... I forgot to ask .... do I need to remove the filters, eg PL, ND, in order to attach the len hoods, ie 18-55mm, and 50-200mm lenses?

Sorry.

Rgds.
