Thank's for that so it's not a recent build date which is what I
was concerned about. Still can't make my mind up about buying
a K-5 to replace my K20D

I always use cash if I can. I hate giving commission to banks

Even the big retailers often make less profit out of a sale than the banks do. Some shops only make 1% to 2%.

It used to be possible (not sure if it still is) to demand a discount for cash in the likes of Tesco's because they work some kind of legal tax fiddle by passing all card sales through a separate company solely for tax purposes. I think it was about half of one percent.

Cash is a great system though! ..... You buy something off someone for £100 which means he has £100 to buy something off someone else who in turn buys something for £100 off someone else etc..... and so it goes on

With Plastic cards the card company can take up to 5% of each sale so the 2nd person only has £95 to spend... the next £90.25..... then it's.... £85.70..... £81.45.... £77.37 and so on At least it makes sure that the Bankers can pay themselves.... BIG BONUSES!

Reminds me of a marketing survey in the US where they discovered
that customers were interested in the kind of service they received

I'm using a K-5 with DNG RAW images, perhaps the file sizes are having an effect?
I would hope so!

It would probably be better than nothing, but Pentax SNo's don't usually follow any set pattern.

Checked mine yesterday and there were telltale stains.

Visited SRS this afternoon and body replaced there and then.
It would be useful to know when any K-5's were bought and the date they were built. I think PhotoMe (free prog) gives the build date.

Again good to hear that SRS are on the ball.

There are a lot of fakes going around that are marked as Sandisk so with any public review you must keep that in mind.
Yeah, but I would hope the stock that Amazon get is 100% legit.
That's quite Funny! Google
