Same here. I've read lots of scanning tips and suggestions for a variety
of techniques, but overall, it seemed that the Nikon worked just great with
very little need for fiddling. Scanning B&W or color neg gave good,
consistent results.

Yes, but it's easy enough to scan the entire roll first and then cut and
sleeve the negs. That's the way we did it. And of course all the Nikons
that I've used will automatically scan negs cut in strips of six frames.

I saw a TV ad that described how you could take your card to a store to be
printed and images put on a CD, and then this store would send the files to
other stores in their chain where prints could be made and
friends/relatives could just walk in and pick up the finished pics or a CD.

That's true. I don't know if this applies to Nimh batteries, but

Jan, Godfrey, Shel, thanks for the kind words and invaluable advice. It's
good to be back on the list again. I think I'll leave the spare battery and
SD card until closer to the purchase time as is the concensus of opinion here.
I've just found what I think is a remote control F, I used it with
OK. So it seems to be that the best approach is to stick with a known
brand of good quality, and use the highest mah that can be found. Great -
you and Adam have answered my questions just fine. Thanks!

You shouldn't use a battery with higher or lower rated voltage, and I
suspect that there will be none available. Higher voltages can cause
overheating, lower voltages might not provide the potential to drive
the camera systems.
Actual voltage delivered will vary by some no matter what, anyw
So, what we want is a 7.4 volt battery (for the K10D) with the largest mah
that works in the physical size and form that will fit the camera. OK, I
understand that. Now, what happens if one uses a battery with greater or
lesser voltage? I'm sure there's a point at which the bats won't work

As Adam said...
A 1500mAh battery of a particular type might provide power for small
percentage less time than a 1750mAh battery, but with respect to form
factor and voltage they will be identical.
Sometimes the mAh ratings aren't particularly accurate. For instance,

Every camera manufacturer wants that because it nets them more profit
in accessory sales. That doesn't mean the battery is proprietary ...
Pentax buys it from the same source that other brands buy it from.

mAh is a measure of capacity, the more you have, the longer the battery
will last in a given application.
2500mAh is likely not possible in that form factor, to make a 7.4v
2500mAh battery would require a physically larger battery.

Godfrey,
Does it matter much if one uses a 1500, 1700, or 1750 mah battery? What do
those numbers actually mean? Could one use a 2500 mah battery (assuming
one was available)?
What I'm getting at, if I'm not clear, is that I heard that batteries for
the Pentax need to be within some certain r
OK, I agree with you, you're right. I did use "proprietary" incorrectly.
However, perhaps Pentax would like us, or at least some/many of their
customers to believe that the Pentax branded battery is the only one that
should or can be used.

Ouch! I know that one, having done the same thing while riding (actually,
while falling) from a mountain bike. Glad to know that you're mending.

Hi,
I see you've gotten a couple of responses, and I'd pretty much echo those.
For the most part, it almost doesn't matter what brand of SD card you get,
although I'd suggest sticking with those that have been mentioned here
since they are proven cards. Lexar is good but pricey, as is Kingston,
a
Oh yes: I forgot to add about the battery.
It has been confirmed by three separate, reliable sources that the
Pentax K10D uses a 1700 mah version of the NP-400 Li-Ion battery used
in the Konica Minolta A2 and other cameras. This is a good battery,
and is easily available in 1500, 1700 and 17
Hello John,
Good luck for a better year to come!
Regards SD cards, I've been using Sandisk Ultra II (60x) 1G & 2G and
Transcend 150x 2G cards for the past couple of years with no problems
at all. The Transcend 150x 2G cards are much less expensive (around
$40 at NewEgg.com).
