Thanks for the reminder though.

Thibouille,
I bought this to use with the K-7 and DA60-250/4.
It's fully functioning and works well.
Ecke, I might be interested.
I dunno how shipping would cost to Belgium ?
i doubt it will be very interesting for me rather than through
DealExtreme but who knows ..
BTW did he get any customs to pay for ?
thanks

This seem to be a pattern from Pentax. First they introduce something
new, then they makes it better in next generation.
I think I'll jump on K-5, then skip next model, and so on.

It's a combination of the shutter speed, the SR system and also the
flash burn speed nowadays.
SR apparently costs sync speed, the high-end Sony's do 1/250 with SSS
off and 1/200 with it on. Likely Pentax and Olympus are limiting their
sync similarly.
Flash burn speed also matters, but only if
