SDHC spec is up to 32GB so all equipments capable of taking SDHC can read/write up to 32GB.

I downloaded a RAW shot at 25600 from DPReview which was underexposed and had a play with It. it beats my K10D's ISO800 with ease!

Sorry, on a RAW file I use the following sharpening as a starting point:

Sharpening 100
Radius 1
Detail 30
Masking 60

I use Lightroom bit Adobe Camera RAW should have the same settings.

On JPEG files I use either no sharpening as the camera does a decent enough job or use 30/1/30/60 to bring out a little more detail.

200% sharpening is way to much in any situation! Seriously, if you print that it will look even more weird than it does on screen!

It produces some really bad artefacts, look at the background twigs! That is not supposed to have sharp lines.

You need to balance the sharpening, detail and masking. I find that 100/30/60 tends to be a simple all rounder but depending on the subject masking will change a lot.

NT do require a property release unless you are submitting the images to their photo library. It is the same with a lot of privately owned buildings.

As long as you are on public land though they can't really do anything AFAIK.

Am I missing something

you say 43 limited (true normal) but you I don't see how the 40mm limited fits at all

You lost me with that one, how is one OK and one not?

You are missing something. 43mm is a true normal on a 135 frame k-mount camera.

On an APS-C DSLR you'd need a 28mm lens.

Not saving for camera equipment per se...

Saving to replace the wife's laptop with an iMac hopefully after the next refresh as she needs a good computer for photography with an IPS screen capable of displaying 100% of sRGB. As long as it runs WoW as well she'll be happy, just think the iMac GPUs in the current series are way out of date and underpowered. AMD HD 4 and 5 series low end, she won't like that for games.

I was going to do a custom build like I did with mine but I really don't think I can be bothered spending all that time fiddling. Nothing quite like an integrated all one one system (or laptop) to save space and power.

Oh, and a MacBook Air or Pro for me as a portable pure work machine. I really prefer the Air though for the high resolution screen and portability. 1.3kg!!! Lovely piece of engineering!

As I shoot in RAW+ is there a way of splitting the DNG files from its jpeg files easy?
I would make then two 'smart folders', one for DNG and one for jpeg, or can that be done automatically?
May I ask to much here of the program?
No idea... you can look around on the web for that, someone might even have made a plugin for it.
In Lightroom's catalogue preferences there is an option to treat JPEG files next to RAW files as individual files and not stack them.

Once you have unstacked them you can the use the filters to filter by file type and mark all JPEG files with a JPEG keyword and then create a JPEG smart collection.

Simples *squeak*
