So bought the K5to take with me for easter. Very nice camera. Quite an upgrade. James Very nice. When I had K10D I too had problems, just blamed them on my technique. Then K20D improved my results and K-5 was a real leap forward. Now many say that buying new gear is not the answer but in the case of Pentax DSLRs my experience has been the opposite. kris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Good to hear that you found a way out of your predicament, James. As for ID'ing the camera, I suggest you take a look at Copyright Info feature. In a nutshell, you can simply record in camera the name of the photographer that will automatically be put into metadata of images the camera would take. This info is also shown by the camera when you review the info of the picture taken with it. There are of course less geeky way to do it, say, by having slightly different camera straps. Or by having a grip attached to your camera and not attaching it to that of your wife, etc. Boris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

James, Get a different color camera strap for one of them. And change the first two letters of the file names it produces.

Re: Enabled. from K10D to k5
I use a short loop of bright colored fine nylon twine through one of the strap rings on the camera for this purpose. It was a quick emergency solution made in the field some years ago --- while under a lot of pressure and picking up the wrong camera was becoming a really annoyance.It worked well enough that the loop is still there.
