Devalued K20D
Seriously, the K20d will retain it's value, look at what K100 and *istD model's are worth to see how Pentax kit retains value8) It amazes me how the K10D retains its value. I paid £250 delivered from the USA just over 12 months ago for my used body (must admit that was a pretty good price then beca...

Anyone think Jessops are now kicking themselves?
Who terminated who we may never know, but whatever the rights and wrongs of the situation the loss of high street presence is more of a loss to Pentax (bearing in mind the market that they are targeting), than losing Pentax is to Jessops. For my sins I develop business strategy and if I had a nat...

Anyone think Jessops are now kicking themselves?
If I had half an idea to start a 'proper' camera shop, I'd soon reconsider. Apart from a few exceptions (like SRS) a shop is a showroom where people can try various cameras and decide which suits them best from a handling point of view etc. Then what do they do, buy from the internet, mail or...

Well shim, My local retailer and a Pentax Pro Dealer, where I purchase all my chemicals from, tells me sales in enlargers, timers D&P products and papers, are on the increase, to such an extent they have increased the floor area to accommodate this increased business and things are certainly looking...

My local camera shop which is a Pentax stockist only keeps a KM body & kit lens in stock. How can he expect to get my business when I cannot even handle what I want to buy??? I originally went in there to buy a DA* 50-135mm (which they didn't seem to know what kind of lens this was) when they whe...

Offertonhatter That's why I drive a T5 and not a 330i. In marketing terms....cost leadership comes to mind....loved all my Pentax cameras....why pay more for a brand? :wink: Rob I just know I'm going to regret asking this, what is a "T5" and a "330i"? Volvo T5 and BMW 330i Thats why I...

Jessops problem generally is down to the staff they employ. How can a school lever be expected to know the technical details of the various camera systems available from simple P&S cameras to the most sophisticated SLR's from numerous manufacturers. I doubt that they have many adult staff that could...

Oh and when I had dust on my forst DSLR, the fantastic *ist D I approach Jessops and asked how much a pack of swabs and fluid would cost to clean the sensor. I had to explain what I meant numerous times, when the young lady realised - after chatting to her manager, she said that they do not sell ...

Photo-Optix is a name I recognise, but I can't recall if it was a franchise. When the new carpet is laid tomorrow and all the stuff moved back I'll be able to get at the magazines that would throw some light on that. At the moment the only free space is my computer. Priorities...

Anyone think Jessops are now kicking themselves?
When I was at SRS a few weeks back to try out the new K7 I got speaking to the Pentax representative there (I don't know his name) and he basically told me the reasons they don't supply Jessops is that Jessops is in so much debt and their financial situation is so precarious a 'small' company like P...

Pentax K7 review video
This guy seems to be giving Pentax a pat on the back for the K7D, however I picked up on a couple of clangers. first off he claims poor Pentax users have had to stand by while other manufacturers bring out camera after camera with innovative features........sorry I just had to pick myself up off the...

100d or 20d
I really want to upgrade to a K20 when funds permit. Currently using a K100D. My main gripes are having to go into the menu and scroll through various screens to change basic settings, and I like the idea of being able to set up focus for different lenses on the K20. Fingers crossed and the K7 ma...

In your hands the K-7 vs K10D
Alright I had a early K-7 demo model in my hands, it was older then the one use in the youtube video and the software wasn't so great and it had the K20D sensor in it... so yeah not really a K-7 to be honest and they had forgot to turn it off so the battery was dead when I wanted to play with it *si...

In your hands the K-7 vs K10D
My two pennorth. (30 years served electronics engineer, use a lot of rechargeables in my other hobby - flying model aircraft). 1/. Be careful with Lithium batteries. Charge them using the proper charger, don't short them out and don't physically damage them. The following is an example of an unha...
