PJ,

Good stuff so far! That new LowePro backpack, do they have any safety backups built into it in case you pop your bladder? I've been using a LowePro mini trekker and I just stick a bladder inside a water proof bag in the outer pocket of it. I don't really care for that setup and would love to try something that was more designed for this.

I'm curious whether the NX capture will have continue to allow you to shoot tethered to the computer like you could in older versions of capture.

Hmmm, I assume you mean the bladder in the bag. I figure if you, uh "pop" as you say, um, ya know...YOUR bladder, ain't no backpack gonna help you...

Scott-
Sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you on this. It's a DryZone system. The camera bag part is basically weatherproof. So if the bladder goes, it's just goibng to run off over the camera bag section. It's really a good design. The only downside is accessibility. The DryZone zippers are a little slow to open and close.

I rode two days with it in Florida and it was awesome. I'm paying up so I can keep it. I need to do soem climbing with it to see how that is. I assume I'm going to feel the weight. But the fit is great and it carries the extra weight very well.

Hi John...I know PMA is over, but I was reading on some UK sites today that Pentax unveiled a mock up of a new 10mp DSLR...did you happen to see anything about or know anything about it??
Thanx, Ken
