Seriously, we're always glad to see you here (again), David. WRT the memory card, the K1000 has an innovative and daring new type of memory card: a sort of "anologue memory strip". Instead of fiddling with little slots, the whole back of the camera opens to accept the card. The card itself is a largish, ergonomically shaped cylinder. Just pull the cellulose "capture area" across the back of the shutter to a handy take-up spool, close the back of the camera, and you're set to go. These memory cassettes have good points and bad points. On the bad side, they'll only take 36 frames. One the good side, there's only one resolution to choose from (highest) - you can compress the files later in your computer for internet purposes. And, if your batteries run out, the capture system still works! Just shoot away, setting your own aperture and shutter speed manually! How's that for innovation!! Have fun! cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
