I was pleased to be able to take advantage of the 20% repairs discount last year when I tried to see if my K10D + lens could 'fly' - which it couldn't

Surely its hundreds of different DSLR bodies with all those colour variations in Japan I think to achieve over 10% with just two D-SLR bodies is really good going

I am not sure about the 494, but I suspect it replaces the 484 which I have. I have K10D plus the tamron 70-300. It is ok, but not as rigid as the pan and tilt head (ie have experienced some very slight shake with it). I also experienced a bit of 'creep' when I had the camera in portrait mode - ie 'hanging' to one side on the ball joint - however that could be my error. I am a bit torn as the 484 is relatively light to carry around when on a long walk, but I imagine the 486 being heavier is a bit more substantial and rigid.
Hope that helps

Great post Kris.
Largely agree with you - I experiment far more with digital 'cos I can try again straight away if the first attempt didn't work, and juts delete the file if it was a 'naff' idea! However i used to get quite a few duffers where I still hadn't got exposure right with film - the instant histogram helps greatly!
I, too, have taken a vast amount of digital photos over a few years compared to slide and print in the previous 30 or so. However I do tend to deleet a lot (although shoul delete a load more!!)
