Best quote: “You gotta get up on the GMail, now.”

This was my first thought. Likely this isn’t being used by the US Military . . . more likely private security with more flair for the dramatic than sense.

Everyone who uses an AppRadio or AppRadio 2, or most any app-connected Car stereo uses it. With Android, those stereos typically use MHL. If we dump the dock connector, my wife and I would have to replace ~$450 car stereos in each of our vehicles if we want new iPhones.

Yes, it’s in the same ballpark, but my point is that 1600×900 is not higher than “any resolution offered on macbooks”, in fact it’s lower. And if the extra 150 vertical lines of resolution don’t matter that much to you, then the difference between 768 and 900 shouldn’t be that big of a deal.

Agreed. The K-r almost got me to upgrade, with the AF-assist lamp and the focuspoint dots in the viewfinder, but the AF performance was just as bad in Tungsten and low light as the K-x.

This is the camera to MAKE me upgrade. :) Good job Ricoh.

Are you including the 15" Macbook Pro? Because the current, non-refreshed, non-Ivy-Bridge version is offered with 1680×1050 resolution.

Agreed. This is gonna suck.

Don’t ask me the reasoning, but the current dock connector outputs analog video signal, digital video signal, and aux out in addition to USB. This is vital to products like AppRadio as well as most app-enabled car stereos. I have a JVC app-enabled DVD player in my car and it would require a special dock cable with video out to use apps.

Pretty cool song, but I have to say I felt a bit bad for the guitar player. He looked thoroughly bored.

There are also WR versions of three of the “regular” DA lenses – the 18-55WR, which IIRC is the kit for the K-5, the 50-200WR, and the 18-135 I believe only comes in WR.

However, if you think a big portion of your shooting will be outdoor, pop for the DA* lenses, as they usually come with a wider, constant aperture, and a silent focus motor.

Providing internet for his home? With a goodly amount of HD Netflix streaming, plus typical internet usage, I’m over 50GB a month from Comcast.

I think I’d rather have a ring of 3 red shells.
