I may be repeating myself, but about 6 or 8 month ago my wife and I were enjoying the weather and a fast food lunch by the lake. Suddenly, about 50 yards out in the lake, two swans broke into a battle the likes of which I wouldn't have thought possible. I grabbed the K20 (my primary at that time) and began collecting what I was sure would be some real action winners. A quick attempt to review my treasures produced only "no card in camera." Will forever feel the pain!!

I thought the K-5 had a menu option to switch the dry fire on and off. Perhaps not. In any case, I make a habit of checking the histrogram on the first frame I shoot, so I'm immediately alerted to a missing card. I would think that very few shooters fire off a bunch of shots without even looking at the review image or histogram.
