Re: What's up with the K7 grip/kit?
This is so far the most disappointing news about the new camera. I almost always have the grip with me. I may or may not have a bag where I am and the chances that I have the bag with the bloody remote in it are very slim indeed. Pants pockets? You must be joking. First thought was how well the little remotes fare in the wash. I'll have to find a strap with a pocket, I guess. CW Ken Waller wrote: I will miss having a tray to hold the small remote.

I want at least four batteries, and I don't want to pay Pentax prices for an item that should be generic. It's not a generic item, though; the energy density figures for the K-7 battery are state of the art. The necessary QA and manufacturing precision are going to put it in the same class as high-end Li+ laptop batteries (=get this wrong, watch the nasty chemical fire devour the device). The good side is you get 1600+ shots/battery; the downside is that the battery is expensive. And since the volume on K-7s will be relatively low, so is the incentive to produce a generic version of this specific high end battery. -- Graydon -- 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.

One of the better known bag and strap manufacturers, might even be Tamrac, have something called the MAS - Modular Attachment System, IIRC. It includes some small pouches to attach to the strap to store things like the little remote and memory cards and stuff like that.

Amazon and BH don't seem to have a listing for the battery/vertical release grip or one for the whole camera with the kit lens. I expect if I was to buy the camera right now, I'd want the grip with it so there's no extra couple hundred dollars to spend later (unapproved, ya know?).

Yeah, BH doesn't have the grip yet, but I ordered the camera anyway. I'll get the grip when it shows up. Hopefully soon. I don't think the kit lens is a plus. You can sell the K10D without it. After one day of a seven day auction I already have a $300 bid on my K10 and 22 watchers. I'm annoyed that no aftermarket batteries seem to be available for the K8.

Amazon and BH don't seem to have a listing for the battery/ vertical release grip or one for the whole camera with the kit lens. I expect if I was to buy the camera right now, I'd want the grip with it so there's no extra couple hundred dollars to spend later (unapproved, ya know?). Also, I'm going to need to sell the K10, it'll probably be easier to sell with the kit lens, and don't I want the new one anyway? So what gives? Mine came with the grip. It's very nice.
