I guess that is the price difference reason...Oh well I will just have to plot and plan for one.
Thanks to everyone again.

A second (or third opinion) is always valuable. If I had thought it out Pentax (Ricoh) would probably make a lens that was just good enough for 6mp...I mean why make a 16mp lens for a 6mp camera?
Looks as though I will have to think of way of justifying a new lens to the boss (she has not twigged yet that I have two Pentax's that look similar)!.
One last question... 16-85 or the PENTAX DA 18-135mm F/3.5-5.6 ED AL [IF] DC WR ?
cheers

Hi everyone,
I have just bought a K-50 body also. I did not buy a lens as I already have a iSTds with the Pentax 18-55mm lens and a Sigma 70-300mm. I also have a Pentax Optio RZ18 camera. I have been using the Optio a while as the pictures are excellent. The iS has been for more formal use, so I bought the K-50 to use the original lenses in conjunction with the iS. Now I too am very concerned the K-50 has what I can only describe as a "bloom" around the edges in all photos, the definition is what I would expect from a very cheap camera. The little Optio is far superior in definition......my son has a Canon Eos and his pics are way better for sharpness and clarity...
What is going on? I have tried all the settings and variations, and with a tripod so my conclusion is that the K-50 is simply no good.
I would love someone to prove me wrong on this other wise I am going to Ebay the lot and buy Canon (except the little Optio).
cheers

After all that the Toshiba 32 GB Flashair wifi card arrived. The Optio RZ18 just cannot see it at all.....the only menu option is for an Eye-fi card, I tried one of those, not only did it not do what it was supposed to but they flatten the battery in no time. Anyway, the Optio simply thought the Toshiba card was just a ordinary SD card. My Samsung S3mini phone could "see" the wifi card but as the camera was not talking to anything there was simply no communication between the two.
The wonderful idea I had was that as I took a picture it would be uploaded to my Dropbox immediately.....nice idea but the technology is not here yet!
So the Tosh card is winging it's way back to wonderful Amazon....at least I get a full refund without any quibbles....and here in darkest France that is a big bonus.

I appreciate your replies, no I did not try to use it, I just assumed that 999 was an error......
I will try today and report back, the 999 counter limitation sounds very possible so hopefully my fears are unfounded, I have just bought a Toshiba wifi card for my Optio and I was hoping to use the Optio's old card a Sandisk 32GB "extreme" SDHC in the ist.

Hi all,
I have a ist DS. Yep, I know it is old tech now, but there is nothing wrong with it and the lens is very good. One question, the 1GB sd card says there are 333 photos left to take, but if I insert a 32GB sd card it says 999 capacity. which of course is only 3x the 1GB card. I have updated the firmware to ver 2.01.
So.....does this mean that the ist DS cannot be updated any further? I am a little concerned that because of the above the camera is not reading the larger card properly so I therefore do not feel I can trust it.
I also have an Optio RZ18 (great little camera) and that has no problem telling me that I have 10355 photo capacity at 16meg pixels!
I am not worried about displaying the full capacity so much as losing important pictures......
any help/comments greatly appreciated.
