Prices on the Pentax X70
So Dan, just to be sure what you are saying..... .....Are you trying to get us to believe that because independant dealers are on very tight margins that it's ok for us to be constantly ripped off?? It may well be true that dealers have a tough time but that is no excuse for £700 cameras only ...

Prices on the Pentax X70
Am I the only person to think that X70 has an extaordinary high price,...an astonishing £369!!!!!?? especially considering that 'the others' made these cameras two years back and in some cases rather better, and that this is after all, just a 'digicam' with minute sensor,.....we are being asked to...

Prices on the Pentax X70
Dealers profit margins can't be that tight if they can afford to sell on ebay and give them 15-20%. Big money to be made in just passing a camera or lens over the counter and taking a handful of pound notes. A lot easier than going out for 3 hours with equipment taking a few shots, going back int...

Optio M60 Question
Hi Ken, We have has this query on several occasions - it is the focusing mechanism adjusting focus and will be more obvious when the camera is moving as it is refocusing. From memory there are a couple of different AF focusing modes - changing mode will stop the noise. Hope this helps, Chri...

NO X70's Will Be Sold.. (per Pentax E-mail)
Was looking at purchasing a X70. On the Pentax web site I found 8 Wal-Mart and 2 Sam's Club stores listed as retailers of Pentax in my local area.. as well as a Wolf/Ritz Camera store that was listed in the phone book. After spending a couple of hours calling all of them I was told NO X70 could b...

NO X70's Will Be Sold.. (per Pentax E-mail)
I posted a link to the same part of the Pentax Imaging (USA) website for another member and when selecting DSLR as the option it gave a list of Walmart stores and people have commented that they do not stock them! People criticise Pentax UK - but having tried to speak with the US operation a few ...

NO X70's Will Be Sold.. (per Pentax E-mail)
Thanks for all your posts/answers. It's just so aggravating not being able to see or hold a X70 in hands. In the back of my mind (if I had one, per asking my wife.. :wink: ) I had planned on ordering on line anyways.. but at least wanted to see/hold one in person. I'm a old "Asahi Pentax Spot...

Optio mx4
Thanks Gartmore for that quick reply. All response to the connection of the camera is conspicuous by its absence. XP pro works perfectly, so does the Optio mx4 but together, nothing at all. No icons on start bar, nothing on windows explorer, they just not talking to each other. Gulp, more tea, anoth...

Optio S10 Memory Card Error
Hi all I recently purchased an Optio S10; when I put the memory card in, it says memory card error. I have formatted it via my computer; and tried it in a different camera, it is fine. I have tried other memory cards in both the Optio and my digital SLR and still the memory card comes up with me...

Optio S10 Memory Card Error
That's the point, I cannot access the card from the camera, it says memory card error. I think that it is indeed a fault with the camera, so I shall be sending it back. Thanks :)

Optio S5n
Hi. I have an oldish but dependable Optio S5n. Recently all settings were reset by accident and the file numbering system has started again at IMGP0001. This is a bit of a pain as all the recent photographs saved on my PC are now out of sequence with the older ones when sorted in file number sequenc...

Optio S5n
When I purchased my K20D I put a card in with pictures from K10D on it and messed up the numbering of pictures on the K20D. A little bit of thought as to how the picture numbering works (explained in camera manual) ment it was extreemly easy to fix... * Format card * take picture on K20D * p...

Optio L40 help
Iain, I'm sorry but I won't answer your questions personally, there are many sites and articles that can help you with this.

IMAGE QUALITY OPTIO W80
I considered getting an LX3 before getting back into Pentax DSLRs - the best compact out there, IMHO.

I use an EXR200 Fuji for my back pocket weapon of choice. Well impressed with it. Image from it here: Bought the wife a Canon 870IS to replace her 700, a shot from which is here: Regards

IMAGE QUALITY OPTIO W80
I have had a reply from Pentax. They have asked for a photograph to look at. Their first comment was to check the ISO, this is in fact 200 but the noise level is beyond belief! Will keep the info coming as I hear from them. Must admit to being surprised to hear back from them. Cedric

Optio L60 - opinions?
I've got one as a 'back pocket' camera and it does OK for the price. Weaknesses are its pretty slow in low light conditions and the AF can be noisy in certain modes. Otherwise it does what it says on the tin.

My new P&S ?
I have the P70 and the software based image stabilisation (same as the P80) is worse than useless, it can take up to 4 seconds to record the shot. Also the AF is nothing to shout about. Using either I invariably miss shots. I now use pre-set manual focus (called snap focus by Ricoh) and no image sta...
