"Why not upload in 720p?"
don't know how to do it. I'm using Windows Movie Maker and there is a list of options where I used "high quality". Any hints?
"Pilots can do their first flight ever in a real plane when they're on their first day at work with a plane full of passengers"
That's true, but they have normally flown smaller aircrafts for a long time.
"are you a airline pilot? "
No, I repair these babies.
"and what is that terrorist machine gun sound?"
The loud "machine gun" are the stick shakers (as explained by another), but the weak razzle is the elevator trim.
thanks for comments

I dont't fully understand your question, but if you have a D90 I think you can stay with it and use your energy on picture making. D90 is an excellent camera as far as I know.

I'm moving from K10 to K-x and have written a few words about it here:
Going from Pentax K10D to K-x, part 1 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Since I'm doing a lot of street photography the K10D was a little to big and heavy, so I've been waiting for Pentax to make s small camera like the *ist DS (my first dslr).
The K10D and K20D feel more solid, more like professional cameras, but the K-x isn't bad either. The shutter sound of the K-x is more like a crash than the damped sound from the bigger brothers.
Viewfinder is smaller and darker, not bad, but it shows you that the K10D viewfinder is excellent. So far no problem, even with manual focus (but I will install split prism later anyway).
If you are interested in video, Pentax made a big mistake in letting out a microphone jack. I can't understand why, because the internal mic will record all kind of camera and other noise that have been easy avoided by an external mic.
I also miss the aperture step down (with preview and histogram) on the power button. You can assign this function to the green button on the K-x, but since I mosty use the camera in manual mode I'm using the green btn to make a quick P exposure setting as with manual (Pentax-m) lenses. But I can live with that, I'm just taking a test photo to check the histogram.
Red focus indicators are missing. I can live with that since the focus is much faster on the K-x so it's easy to prefocus (shutter button half pressed) and move the camera to a nice crop and then take the photo. Maybe it's a good idea to only use the center AF point for full control.
The BIG advantage is the small size of the camera. Follow the link and go to image #2, it shows the K-x with a M40/2,8 lens together with the K10D and the kit lens. You would not believe how small it is. Event Canon and Nikon people are talking about how small the K10D is, he he.
Dont't buy the DA-L kit lens. It's missing the quick manual focus option. I can't live without that, but it's only to buy the K-x body and use your old lenses.
Every one is talking about low noise. It's a little bit hyped, but you can except about one EV step better noise level compared to the K10D. It means that the K-x is near Nikon D90 and D5000 in noise level, but not better. ( I think the D5000 is a hair better)
