It'd be nice to see Pentax Super-A FIXED in your signature one day. Excellent camera. I had one that became uneconomical to repair. I eventually sold it for a tenner
It is a very annoying bit of damage, metering/information backlight window knock so it is no longer visible. Still usable, I've got an old Seikonic light meter which works perfectly. I'd just rather have the camera in full working order.

Oh I've got flashes, but wifey's gone to bed and the thwack of the shutter going off and what appears to be world war three starting when my guns fire keeps her awake.
Cheers,

. . . you have overhauled Matt at the number one slot with 2470 posts against 2460.
No . . . I've got nothing better to do . . .
Cheers,
As you can see by my posting, I also lack a flash which reduces my shooting time.
I do have a tripod but long exposures are not quite as much fun.

Asahi beer is nice though, used to be a Japanese 'pub' in Leeds but it closed and became a Cuban tapas bar.

Hello,
I am about to be new to the digital slr world. I do however have a pentax film slr so understand the workings of an slr, though it has been a while since I have had a good play with it.
Anyay, I will be getting a K100D shortly, as after reading reviews and doing my research I have found this to be the best value for money, and I already have 2 len's which are compatible.
Okay, do I wait for the super, or willl the K100D sufice? I am not sure how much the super will be but the K100D with a 18-50mm lens is currently around AU$699, so am guessing the super will be upwards of $800. But who knows. It is due here in August. My plan is to have it asap before my 5 week trek through China, so I can have some trial runs and know how to use it before I go.
Also, as I have know idea about the world of advanced digital imaging what are the differences and pro's & con's of the file types below:
Raw Image
EXIF 2.2
JPEG
DPOF 1.1
DCF
One other question, will the software work on Microsoft Vista?
Any help would be appreciated.
For the price, it really can't be beaten.
A RAW file takes all the data from the sensor and stores it, this means more detail, higher dynam shot ic range and a greater ability to tweak. Thing of JPEG as a sort of Polaroid (though still much more flexible) and RAW as a 35mm film frame. You can do much more with the single frame, positive or negative afterwards.
EXIF is just the format of the data stored within a RAW or JPEG file that keeps information about the shot such as shutter speed, aperture, ISO sensitivity and much more.
