So bought the K5to take with me for easter. Very nice camera. Quite an upgrade. James Very nice. When I had K10D I too had problems, just blamed them on my technique. Then K20D improved my results and K-5 was a real leap forward. Now many say that buying new gear is not the answer but in

James, Get a different color camera strap for one of them. And change the first two letters of the file names it produces. It's a simple change in the menues and will help you keep track of who's shots are who's. Regards, Bob S. On Thu, May 5, 2011 at 3:54 AM, sky s...@eftel.net.au wrote: hi

They also make the sd card pockets separately to thread onto your camera strap. I have on on each camera strap and 2-3 sd cards in each. I'll run out of battery juice before I can fill all the cards. Regards, Bob S. On Thu, May 5, 2011 at 12:32 PM, Matthew Hunt m...@pobox.com wrote: On Thu, May

This is going to happen, but not right now. After spending $3000 on 2 bodies, the pennys are rather hard to find. I do like the different strap idea. She wants a strap that goes over hand so she can hang on to the camera better. Just need to find one. James Put a battery grip on one of them --
