Thanks Bong That's a good point about the weather sealing. The shutter actuates when it comes on? So when the camera is off or asleep, the shutter is closed? Interesting, because the M4/3 cameras leave the shutter open when it is off. D On 15/11/2012 7:23 PM, Bong Manayon wrote: On Thu,

John, It sounds like a reasonable deal. I might just add (for what it's worth): It is important to realize whether the K-5 can utilize extra speed of the cart (if any). I've been using two 8GB SanDisk Extreme III Class 6 SDHC cards with K-7, and three 8GB Transcend Class 10. I haven't seen any
