Nah, he's not interested at the moment. I guess it is ebay.

The AF160FC is very pricey though (4 LEDs + 2 xenon flash tubes).
but with a K-5 and god high ISO performance ???
Yes, well the K10Ds don't have that

Got to wait to see if all the issues withe the K-5 are resolved otherwise I'll be waiting for the K-3.

An ND filter doesn't cut out just ambient though. It will cut all light. The thing with higher sync speeds is cutting out ambient light.

Yes you could use an ND and then set the flashes to much higher levels but sometimes you are already working at full power.

Don, I already tried that with various pin combinations. I cannot seem to get my K10Ds to do that. It seems that there is no flash trigger signal sent when over 1/180.

Having downloaded and tried to watch AVHDC video from other brands, and 1080p footage, I'd call the motion jpeg format a bonus.

It's the only format that plays smoothly on my PC!

I would say that in a sector where, to be honest, ALL cameras take pretty much equally good pictures, and are well designed, video is becoming a differentiator between models. Therefore it seems to be given a slightly unfair prominence. The mere fact that the K-r takes K-mount lenses would more than cancel out any slight shortcoming in the video mode.
heavily compressed avchd does not key very well, so for serious video effects like chroma keying, you're better off with motion jpeg as well....
Yeah, it kills hard disk space (cheap) but at least the processor doesn't need to decode, uncompress make the changes and then output.

I'd much prefer an uncompressed video file with individually coded frames for quality as I can always change it after working on it.

Nowhere near as bad as a RED though with 4K RAW per frame output

More money than sense.

The great story of 'must buy expensive camera for good pictures' rather than learn to use a camera.

I think he posted it for John's benefit as I'm not sure he got what we were talking about.
