K-7 price dropping already?
As you have tried out the K7 I thought I would take the opportunity to ask a few questions. Forgive me if they have already been asked. How did you find the K7? I am struggling to think of a reason to buy it, is it as good as everyone says? What about the size, is it alot smaller than the K20?...

Danny, for years and years the UK has had Pentax products at much lower prices than in Europe or Australia. Plus cash-back offers and all sorts of incentives never available here. Why do you now assume they are ripping you off? Come on grow up - the pound is lousy at the moment so prices of imported...

I was given a "gift" of two Cannondale cycles - UK price £500 & £999 when I visited the US a few years back. Fortunately my cousin gave me copies of the receipts showing what he had paid. I declared them at customs and paid duty on one - the other was under the tax free limit. They s...

K-7 price dropping already?
It is a fact of life that prices vary around the world. A manufacturer will ask the price they think they can get for something. If they don't sell enough goods at the price, they will lower the price. It has always been thus - in the seventies and eighties, when we still lived in Britain, my hus...

Although this has come as a shock to us all because it is personal to us when it is our money and our pocket the hand goes into. There are loads to consider when looking at the price of a product. None of us wish for Pentax to go out of business and perhaps the hike is needed for sound and well t...

K-7 price dropping already?
It is whingeing to constantly complain of Rip Off Britain, which one hears all to often, just because the price in Britain is more than somewhere else in the world. That is what I object to. I fully realise prices vary, I have put up with expensive prices for Pentax and other goods, with no cash bac...

K-7 price dropping already?
Hmm, I have an opportunity for someone to bring me a K7 from the states. I'm expecting it would set me back £850 what with crappy exchange rates on using debit cards abroad (I would order it on my card for them to bring back). The Pentax international warranty is 1 year, buying from the UK would mak...

You're assuming that his uncle isn't coming to visit him on holiday from the USA and inadvertently forgets to pack his camera on the way back, which would be tragic for him

Before you start celebrating your good fortune wait until it's actually in your hands. Items from the US can attract a substantial premium if they get caught in customs (duty + a handling charge) which from my own experience can be around 30-40% of the purchase price depending on the carrier. That m...

P shift in "P"/"SV" mode - how do you know?
Simon i've the K10D so it might be different. Here the dial that has the P-shift change prefer default balance so to say. You can see that the dial effects the f-number this the same with all program lines, when you press the green button it will go back to the default value (balance) of that mod...

using Multi-exposure mode
Another question to add to the ones I've already asked, sorry for swamping the forum a little later.. I'm attempting to try the multi-exposure but even though I seem to have set everything as it states in the manual it doesn't seem to work, it only takes a single shot. When I go back to the menu...

using Multi-exposure mode
Er, let me try to be helpful, because I actually like using the multi-exposure in-camera. It's handy that it takes care of picking the right exposure comp on each image to get the balance right, and saves me time. Plus one can see the results immediately and use this feedback to tweak the next shot....

K20D question. Liveview mode focusing?
I was playing around with my K20D today, and discovered that in live view mode it does not take a focused picture when you push the shutter button. It will focus alright after a bit( mirror goes back down...etc) when I push the AF button on the back of the camera, and then, of course, I can push th...

K20D question. Liveview mode focusing?
OK, have read, it seems you compose and focus as normal and then switch on the live view you then take the shot as required. Not sure if that makes sense but that is how it reads. Now we both wait for someone who uses the function to explain in more detail.
