I've often wondered if, in a similar situation, I would have the presence of mind (or idiocy, depending upon your perspective of the situation) to both: 1. Take pictures of the crisis as it occurs, and 2. grab at least the SD card out of the camera before running for my life. I suppose with the fiddly two-handed approach required to open the SD door on the K10D, there wasn't a chance. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
