Why is the Pentax card so sodding expensive?? you can buy a normal 16GB flucard for about £22 but for the extra facility of remote control Ricoh charge £99 ....who do they think they are ..Apple?.

It's available from America for £64 +post but even that is OTT.

Alan

Thanks for the effort guys, sorry Jonathan, English or German but thankyou anyway.

Jules, that's an interesting article describing how the anti-aliasing works , as for the ebay brochure , mmm! Japanese? bummer.

Thanks again guys, I will just have to keep looking.

Alan

Hi all, does anyone have a .pdf copy of the advertising brochure for the K3 dslr or know where i can download.

Many thank
Alan

Hey Algernon, you could be right after, all it's a Japanese camera and it's English on the battery

As for the status, what i am meaning is the camera is calibrated to expect a battery with approx. 1850-2000mAh so if there is a battery with a capacity of eg. 4000mAh is this going to confuse the camera and show a false status?. Someone on a shop feedback claimed the camera refused to show ANY status using one of these big batteries.

Alan

Thanks for replies guy's, does the camera see the battery state ok, some of the feedback for these higher capacity batteries say the camera can't see the charge state.

Alan

Hi all, does anyone have any experience with HDFX batteries? they are advertised as 2,4 and 8 hour although i can't find any mAh ratings.

I've been a Pentax man since about 1977 when i got an ME +50mm f1.2 . Since then i have accumulated about 40 cameras, 15 of them Pentax and the rest made up of Canon and Minox (still have them all).
My present camera is the K10d but as my wife and 10yr old daughter use it more than me (probably take better pictures too) i've a K3 in the post . I know, it's a terrible excuse for upgrading.
A couple of my friends have joined your ranks recently so i thought i would come along too.

Best regards

Alan
