Thanks, Paul. Well, I only have one card, one battery and no remote at the moment! (I'll get the grip and battery next week, I believe).
I geuss that two of each is just fine with me :-) I like the idea of charging them both at the same time, though - meaning I'm always "dressed-up" for any event! My only problem now is getting the meter adjusted properly: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/sets/72157594527835191/ Have anybody else noticed any tendency of the K10D over reaction to back-lit scenery or bright skies? BTW: I think the *ist D did all this (matrix stuff) just about right! An old Pentax-virtue, really!

No problems. But I always swap out both batteries at the same time. So I have four all together: two in the camera and two backup. Changing one and not the other is probably a bad idea. BTW, I always use two sets of batteries in the D with no problems. The trick is to start them both fully charged and change all of them when they become weak. With the D, I get about 2200 exposures on eight AA lithiums. Since the D is now my backup, the batteries that are currently in there will probably last until it gets replaced by the K1D. Speaking of the D-BG 2, another great feature is the storage compartment for the IR remote and an extra SD card. You can't lose 'em that way.
