Yes a day... of taking between 500 to 800 shots.... ;) by then usually I'm home or have somewhere to charge my batteries up. I have never run out of charge whilst out (touch wood ;) ).

;) sorry misread that part... ;)
As I said my INOV8 was used in my K7 and now my K5 and I find it will easily last a full day of photography if not more. I know it won't last as long as the Pentax battery but I haven't had an issue with mine yet.
Unfortunately cheap compatible batteries are just that - cheap. If you get good life out of them well you got a good one... ;)

I have an INOV8 battery as my spare and whilst it has a lower capacity I find it far exceeds 40mins of use. I have used it whilst on on a photoday taking over 500 images on one charge.
Can I ask how you tested the batteries for 3 hours of use? :) Were you shooting photos or was the camera just left switched on?

True. Doesn't stop my other half questioning why I'm using the P&S rather than the K5... :p
Agreed :lol::p

I have a post count of 13 since 2008? How have I posted everyday about it? :lol:
I have been speaking to my dealer who has been speaking to Pentax UK on mine and other users behalf. I don't pay £1000 for a camera and then spend my time 'on hold' to Pentax to be fobbed off everyday.

Yes its a great camera (I've never said anything different), but when I can't take a photograph TTL in focus indoors at 10am in the morning in natural light then something is wrong with the £1000 camera I purchased. When a £100 p&s camera can focus in the same situation correctly I'd say its a fairly substantial issue. Its not like I'm trying to use the camera outside of its operational parameters. It indicates that the QC & Testing of the £1000 camera was not as stringent or sufficient and the camera was probably released for sale far too soon.
I think people are within their right to grumble about said issues. Yes I could return my K5 and demand a refund but why should I change camera brand if I am generally happy with Pentax? I would, however, like Pentax to come out and say yes we know of the issue and we are trying to sort it - not all the chinese whispers or user error comments...

:hmm: *shakes head*
Why can't they either confirm or deny if a firmware update will fix it or not... :mad:

Pinholecam I think you'll find I haven't posted any samples here before. Yes I get FF at low levels, hopefully the firmware update will rectify the issue. If not it goes back for replacement/repair.

Easiest work around for me is to use the slower Live View. Not always appropriate but works.

Oh it hasn't interfered with my enthusiasm for my K5 dadipentak. Its disappointed me when shooting inside and low light. Now I just wait patiently for the so called fix....

Fine it doesn't affect your photography, but don't disregard a fairly major issue because of that.
My £100 P&S camera can take photos inside with ease. My £1,000 camera can't because it front focuses in low light - thats a fairly major problem.
Please don't put down a problem just because you never see it in your type of photography.

Smeggy is complete correct here. If it was < EV2 and in yellowish light and specific lens as Christine states it would be easier to cope with. She's incorrect the K5 front focuses in less than EV4.
