Shel [Original Message] From: Aaron Reynolds I like SD cards, largely because I can snap them into my Palm and e-mail the images instantaneously, without having to cart my laptop around. Plus the connection appears to be more robust, and it's really easy and comfortable for me to bring spares in my pockets because they're so tiny. Whether you are happy or sad about it, the new bodies take SD cards. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: Holy Crap -- Pentax 10MP body
Yes, this is a good idea. Give us a jp4-file format! Anthony Farr wrote / skrev: Thinking along this line, and considering that music can be compressed with variable bit rates so that the detail goes where it is needed and not where it would be wasted, could image files be saved with variable bit depth? Inky shadows and blue skies could get high compression and low bit depth 'cause there's almost nothing there, while busy lowlit foliage and earthy textural expanses etc. could get boosted bit depth and low compression to be full of detail and smooth gradation. If they can do it with music . Regards, Anthony Farr -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

In the imaging device, a light receiving element and a vertical transfer passage are common. The accumulating period calculating processor obtains an accumulating period, for which a signal charge is accumulated in the light receiving element, by a calculation. The light receiving element is provided with first and second electrodes to which voltages are applied. During the accumulating period, the voltage control processor fixes a voltage level of the first electrode and changes periodically a voltage level of the second electrode in accordance with a length of the accumulating period, so that a charge pumping operation is performed.

Compare ways for antishake
I would like to find articles/web pages comparing the two different ways for solving antishake: adjust sensor in the body - adjust optic elements in the lens I would appreciate your view on this subject and your links to interesting articles/web pages. Do you think Pentax are choosing the best way? regards/falke -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
RE Compare ways for antishake
In our Canon S3 IS there is a setting for when it is used together with a converter in font of the lens so I guess that the in-body anti shake must know the focal length to be able to calculate the anti shake compensation. I suppose new lenses have connections for this, but how do you enter this for old lenses (I have some of those) on the K100/K10D? As an old Pentax fan with a couple of film body's I am aiming for the K10D but the investment in lenses (with or without anti shake) are really the big decision for me because you will not replace them as often as the body. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
