As others have noted, switching SD cards between Pentax cameras is no problem. A new folder is made inside the DCIM folder for each set of pics. I even swap SD cards between a Canon Vixia HF200 AVCHD camera and the Pentax and back with no problems. The Canon uses a whole different set of folders

From: Igor Roshchin Hi All, I am considering what would happen if two Pentax cameras are using the same SD card (alternating). Settings both are set to the same storage settings: folders by date. I wonder what would happen in the following two cases: 1. The prefix of the file name is set to the

If you put a card formatted in the K-7 into a K-5, it is renamed K-5 if you use it at all. The K-7 doesn't have the ability to maintain the SD Card name. It looks like you can, but once you pop it in the K-7 and use it, it's back to SD Card. Might be a workaround for that, but I'm not aware of

Swapping between K100 and K20, with different prefixes didn't matter, the camera just looked at the highest file number and incremented based on that. If you share cards between cameras, and use the file numbering to keep track of number of frames, it'll bollux things up. On Nov 28, 2012, at

Hi Igor, Try 4 cameras (my K-5/K-7, my son's K-r daughter's K-01): we had a not so empty SD card go through all four cameras. It would seem that they can differentiate as to which files were taken by which camera and follow the correct numbering sequence although I have not had the experience

I tried it. First I took some shots with my K5 and then transferred the card to my K10 and took some n more shots. Each camera created a folder by date and each camera stored the photos it took in the folder it created. When I took the card from the K10D and put it in the K5 it still
