Pathetic for a camera with a 2 year guarantee. Others on here have had the same problem with Samsung. Trading Standards should be prosecuting them.

Both perform very similar. The f/1.7 probably just a touch sharper and with a flatter field. If your using it mainly in poor light the f/1.4 offers a slight advantage.

I can't decide if that makes it worth more or less

I think some Leica nutter would have paid that for that camera irrespective of who owned it

I also think Matt, that your MV1 would have gone for £10 irrespective of who owned it

I once had a rare car (because all the others had long rusted away) that a member of the Beatles had ridden in quite often (not owned) but I didn't get anymore money off the scrapyard when it went for crushing

Looks like mine!!

Fairly standard restriction nowdays mainly due to licensing restrictions on codecs used for video. I think the requirements for Jpegs are quite easy going and they seem to allow unrestricted use. This isn't the actual license but it gives you some idea link

You would have to check the Pentax and Adobe Licenses for PEF and DNG.

I'm not familiar with the K-7 but I think the format is Jpeg based and under a similar license to still Jpegs.

Most software on Apple-Macs is for non-commercial use, but it seems to be overlooked.

Without a doubt...

Japanese cameras are rubbish...... my father used to
always say buy a German camera if you want the best!

Sorry to see Mowog go, he made me laugh with the way

I thought everyone listened to Chris Evans on Radio2
I only listen to it because I can't stand the adverts on
the likes of Smooth FM

I've seen a statement from Pentax somewhere that camera's are supplied with 0 shots taken and it can't be reset. Some dealers are probably testing for sensor marks. I would throw it in the bin if it had 11 activations on it and buy another
