Pentax repair times
Sorry to hear about these repair times but in my case it was the complete opposite. Maybe I have been very fortunate with the repairs but I had problems with both my sdm zooms 16-50 and 50-135. They were under warranty and I sent them via the dealers SRS and Mathers and I needed them back quickly f...

Thanks for the reminder! I just phoned them and it should be back tomorrow or Thursday which is encouraging and certainly within Pentax's 'five working days' claim. Less encouraging is to be told that they've 'just installed the latest firmware', it had the latest firmware installed. We'll see.

I've just returned my K-x for repair (autofocus problems), so everything is crossed. I used to have a Fuji P&S. The bad news was that it failed 4 times in the first year (4 different faults). The good news? Fuji repaired it and posted it back within the week each time.

My 50-135 went back with 'sticky SDM' via SRS took around 2 weeks. Was working when picked up , tried it 4 weeks later, no SDM at all, just gone back again. Whilst the turn around was perfectly fine for me, the fact it obviously wasn't fixed, isn't. Lets hope it's fixed this time!

I am glad to say I have got my DA* 50-135mm back and it looks perfect. The images are looking pretty good too so far. As I thought it was never going to work again when I sent it off to them, I am pretty pleased. K.

Good to hear Ken, and timely too as I've just seen my package delivery status switch to delivered. I took the decision to box up and send my K-30 back for repair with the sticking aperture motor problem. Hopefully there is a quick turnaround on that. I too have the latest firmware installed a...

I've just got my LX back from Harrow Technical (out of warranty), 10 working days door to door for a service & 'sticky mirror' repair :)

This is all sounding good. I hope I have a similar good story to tell soon :| has been sorted too by the looks of it. Got the camera back about 2 weeks after it arrived with them. Looks to be sorted but won't know for sure until I get to try it out again later in the month. Johnsons Photopia w...

K10D or KM (K2000)
Another difference between the Samsung and the Pentax is that the Samsung has only the DNG format for RAW images instead of PEF as well. DNG is larger, but otherwise is not usually a problem. is there a way from looking at the name what type of lens it is? Auto or manual, correct mount for K10D e...

Camera comparison
Ken your examples show some very good examples of quality from Pentax DSLRs. I would guess that No1 was the isDS 6mp camera. I too have printed A3 from my isDL2 and was amazed at the quality. I confined my Canon 5D full frame camera to back-up on the results of my isDL2 tests. However the Pent...

Makes me smile seeing this, then thinking back to people that have abandoned the Pentax ship because they are not "professional" and can't produce the same results as brands like N* and C* 8)

As I said, I miss my Ds, and do sometimes regret the K20D which replaced it. My darling husband wrecked the Ds within a few weeks of having it - he left it out of it's case on the back seat of the car and when he had to slam on the brakes it went flying to it's death :cry::cry:. I am never trul...

Long exposure noise reduction
My suspicion is that during that time (i.e. during the 'exposure' of the dark frame) the shake reduction is active. If so it wouldn't matter since it only records black and the black a pixel further is the same black so SR on or of shouldn't do a thing there. Who says the blackframe was even in foc...

Long exposure noise reduction
Current is the keyword. It wouldn't matter otherwise but it is eating some of the battery energy (well, not eating it, energy is conserved - it is converted into kinetic energy and then on into thermal energy). On my recent (as I started the business of plugging other threads and got a price fo...

K-7 now £799!!
With the K-7 you get micro focus adjustment, weather sealing, 100% viewfinder, more fps, another wheel, top lcd and probably a few other things that (to me) justify the price difference. My complaint is the noisier sensor.
