Anyone had any experience buying from this website?
They advise not to send money, meet 'face to face' only, not possible for me though.

Hi Michael, I have bought from advertisements on this site and not experienced any problems to date. However, as 'obione' states, it's intended primarily for local adds, so for anyone living in or close to Rochester this could be a good buy. If you are not local, by the time you have factored in paypal fees of around £28 + postage, it ceases to be quite as attractive, in which case SRS's deal of £899.00 plus free 35mm lens and free postage for 'Pentax User' forum members is unbeatable at the moment and they are an excellent bunch of guys to deal with...
Best wishes...

I thought "that's a damned fine burst mode she's got!" Not had any issues with my K3 so far, fingers crossed it stays that way.

Lol I just watched that video a bit further through than I first did. Wow, that's quite some sustained burst rate right there!
She is probably feeling relief at actually being able to demonstrate the issue on camera. I made some videos of my K-30 random exposure issue recently and it was hard work given it was a random problem!
There's something broken in that interval time code. My K-30 has just stopped several times now which is annoying, given the solution is to use an external system instead.
Actually I guess I could just get out the black vivid marker and turn my K-30 into a K-3
