My K10d with Sandisk extreme II card, shooting jpegs, you can fill the card at 3 frames/sec (no delay). You have two RAW formats to choose from. You can shoot up to 13 frames at same speed using PEF and 16 frames with DNG before the buffer fills up.

I haven't had any issues with the buffer that you wouldn't have with any other camera. If you are shooting in high res JPEG only, the camera can easily squeeze off 6 straight shots (3 per second). If you shoot RAW+JPEG, you can expect 3-4 before lag catches up with you. Most sources say a high speed SD card helps also, but I just use regular Sandisk cards without effecting what I want to accomplish. I got some great shots in continuous mode with RAW+JPEG of an Osprey diving into the water and coming back out with a trout. It sounds like the salesman wanted to sell you on a high dollar "professional" Nikon or Canon Mark II with a higher profit margin.

So far , my own mkv files will not play smoothly at all. Tried them from both USB stick and discs and from different sources and can;t get anything other than a highly pixelated picture. These are HD files so maybe that is the problem?So far this is the ONLY trouble I have had with the machine.

So far on my Pentax K1000 it flashes each time I take a picture requiring a flash, I guess that's its internal mode sending a signal thru the hotfoot.

We have had the same problem , my son was interested in the instant camera so we have bought 2 different cameras on line and have bought film at the camera store as well as Amazon, it's still the same. Maybe the cameras are too old or the film is just not manufactured right.

There was an update released a while back for the focusing problem. It has been resolved. BTW: Get the MKIII's full frame.

I timed my processing speed on my camera and it is 8 seconds and seems to take longer after multiple shots. Thanks for the tip about the shutter button. I tried that and it works for about 3 shots than the camera seems to hesitate and the shutter button will not depress. Maybe that is how it is supposed to work and 3 consecutive shots is all that is needed. I just don't know if my camera is working as it should and I am expecting too much or if there is a defect in the camera.Thanks for the help.

Exactly is the same for me. I also have a K50...seems other responses are for k30.

Has not been a problem at all. I have not missed any shots due to camera lag. Still more than pleased with everything about this camera.

This was one of the worst blunders of DPReview (ignoring the "Bright" mode). They obviously did not care to read the manual when testing the K10D. They also did test the shake reduction out-of-spec, meaning on a very short distance, something the manual explicitly discourages.

Update on my kdv2500 for anyone who cares.. my first one developed 3 dead pixels(2 red, 1 blue), so i exchanged it within the 30 days and bought the extended warranty as long as i was there, having learned my lesson. now the new one has 2 dead pixels (1 red, 1 green) and that infamous "clouding" issue when the screen goes or is supposed to go all black. I'm going to exchange it one more time and if there's an issue with the next one I'm probably gonna go with the 46' model or another tv all together. BTW i called Sony Support to see what they cover in terms of dead pixels and the said they won't do any service unless at least 10 blow out. IMO that's ridiculous. It should be like 3 or something, not 10.

The K-5 does very well in low light settings. It renders images very well and precisely. I have done low-light action and stills with the camera and have had excellent results with my K-5. I have seen some reviews that state the K-5II does even better than the K-5 in low light and in sharpness, but others state that they are about the same. I have two K-5s and am very happy with the results they have produced. Producing low noise images in low light is one of its standout features that distinguishes it from its' predecessor the K-20D. The K-5 is one of the highest ranked cameras on the market and is an outstanding tool. The K-5 does very well in low light settings. It renders images very well and precisely.

Would not go so far as to say it is normal, only that it has been experienced before :) and at least in my case has not apparently affected operation of the camera. However, for all I know this could have something to do with the fact that this camera has trouble staying in focus taking video sometimes. I'll never know - it's out of warranty now and there are still more pros than cons versus the alternatives available at the time so I'd have kept it anyway. :)

A.Kupfer, can you let me know when you get the product. I did not see any reviews for this store and want to make sure its not aftermarket or a refurb. thanks.

I have not had the camera for that long, only about 4 months, but have not had the problem occur. Before buying this model, I did a lot of research about the problem and was confident enough that it had been fixed, to shell out almost two grand for the camera. The Ken Rockwell website is a good source of information on Nikon and Canon cameras. I relied heavily on Ken Rockwell's opinion. On another note, I absolutely love everything about this camera.

I haven't had any issues buffering videos. In fact I haven't had any problems with anything regarding this tablet. Well worth the money, surprised it doesn't cost more

Yes, I think I have had this problem. It was very accurate last time I put it down so I will let you knowthe next time I shoot with it. This busy holiday schedule is preventing me from shooting but I will checkon this when I get a chance.

I have a Sony XBR5 no problems at all, perfect set. I watch a lot of sports the set is fantastic. Samsung is a great set also, but at the store I did see some issues with it. I have heard and read about the clouding problem in the past, but not on the new sets, it has been solved to my knowledge. XBR4/5 same great set. Sony and Samsung went on a joint venture with their panels, this means that both company's have the same panels (8th gen. panels). The only difference is the engine, I think in my opinion the Sony has more detail than the Samsung. At the same time we are nit picking, which ever one you like go with it and don't look back. Be happy with your choice, because there will always be a better set. FYI if you go with Samsung be sure it has the updated firmware, on the settings menu it should say "Oct2007". If it doesn't you can not update it, you will have to find another set that does. Check with Samsung for the current firmware update. Samsung "81 series" is the only set that I know of that you can update the firmware via the internet when available, this is a plus. Most company's don't guarantee blown pixals, some will say you need to have certain amount of pixals blown before they can exchange for a new one. Check out the extended coverage, make sure they cover blown pixals. Some people have had blown pixal problems, at the store they had a few sets with this problem including Sony and Samsung. I have read that a lot of people had customer service problems with Samsung less with Sony. I never had a problem with Sony's customer service in the past or their products. Pick the best set you like and forget everybody else, it's your set. ****HOPE THIS HELPS, GOOD LUCK****
