Contemplating on returning the Kx due to battery issues.
Thanks guys, just to report back I have opted to charging the batteries twice as opposed to the first time it shows the green lights when charged, and it appears to last longer. So all in all, it appears the I need a very good intelligent charger and not a timer based charger.

K-m Shutter Release Button
My K-m is 18 months old with about 9000 actuations and last week when on holiday the shutter release button started to stick down at the half way point. It will come back up if coaxed and then will be OK for a time. Has any one had this problem. I was wondering if its possible to clean under the b...

K-m Shutter Release Button
If it is only 18 months old you still have 6 months guarantee on it. I'd take it back and get it repaired under guarantee rather than start playing with it myself. But that's just me. No point in having a guarantee if you don't make use of it.

Confirmed specifications for the K-5
The price of the K5 body only is $1399, so what does that equate to in the good old British pound currency? I'm tempted to just wait until January to see if the price drops a little then go to my local Pentax deal shop in Seaford and trade my K7 body for the K5 as I did back this January with the K1...

Confirmed specifications for the K-5
I'm tempted to just wait until January to see if the price drops a little then go to my local Pentax deal shop in Seaford and trade my K7 body for the K5 as I did back this January with the K10. Trouble is - VAT going up by 2.5% in January may cancel-out any post-xmas price cuts. Even more conf...

Confirmed specifications for the K-5
Can you explain - (fixed-rate VAT rules...), oh, its a complicated quirk of my business's VAT registration (special rules you can choose if you have a turnover under £150k) - basically, I can't reclaim the VAT on anything I buy...unless it costs more than £2000 (ex-vat). When VAT goes up to 20% its ...

Hey George! Your back :lol: Quite honestly I don't care what Pentax call their cameras as long as they keep making them. The link from Jack is just to the other forum, which is, as I said, as full of speculation as the threads here are. They don't have any more info than we do, nor do they hav...

I see this body and the fast thirty five lens as being Nikons attempt to attract the new generation of photo/video shooters..... I see this body as Nikons attempt to dominate the middle ground segment of the market. Pentax will have to come very near to the D7000 price to have a chance of gettin...

Oh I haven't yet. I have just decided pentax is definately for me :) Plus I would miss this forum :) I received a cheque we had been waiting for, for ages, but it wasn't as much as we were hoping for so funds are still pretty limited. I have seen a very cheap pentax ist ds with 6 months warranty, an...

How much is it? 6 months warranty on it sounds good. The Ds is a great little camera, though "old" in digital terms of course, with 6MP and a Pentaprism viewfinder. It was my first digital Pentax and I loved it. great picture quality and it did all I asked of it. I preferred it to my K20D which...

I expect there will quite a few cheapish Pentaxes soon, with the new models arriving next month. Hang on to your money a while longer and don't go for the first thing you see, tempting though it is.

I'm thoroughly pleased with my K20D, but they still seem to sell for £4-500+ and I guess you are looking for something less expensive. I know people who use the K100D and K200D and don't have any plans to change in the near future - the K200D owner uses his semi-professionally.

Jacqui - good luck with you patience - the K100D is a little cracker as my wife ( also a little cracker ) will attest - I got hers - body only - earlier this year for £142 with less than 2000 shutter actuations ,strap,manual,cd,body cover and box! The *istD is now used only for M42 screw lenses but...

I had an *istDL2... it was OK, but I would hold out for a K100d or istDS unless its a bargain, i.e. less than 100 squids. The other two offer shake reduction (K100d) or pentaprism viewfinder (istDS or istD). Damn, you missed out on a K10d for sale at 120.00 in the classified the other day! (Not t...
