The most important thing is that you can see in photome is the shuttercount.
Pentax rated the mirror-flippy thing on 100,000 flicks so make an fair assumption how longs you want to use it, I believe that replacement/repairing isn't that cheap

here is an interesting sits about the amount of flicks, it seems that the one of pentax is one of the better ones out there link

but where will it end if we go on?
Stickers on knifes saying don't throw at people???
Commen sence is normall I believe and if people are going to sue a knife company because it didn't say that throwing knifes at kids is a bad idea i think they should be locked up somewhere far away from other people.

Things like that coffee is hot, that egg box contains egg and that mixed nuts and raisins has nuts in it and is packed in a factory that handles nuts seems like commen sence to me or am I just stuppid.

We really don't have those warnings we do have some alergic warnings on some products but not going so far as I read here. I also don't believe that other countries on the main land have such warnings or can someone prove me other wise?

Not quite because the system is called SAFOX VIII
If there is a new version they would call it SAFOX IX right, since the version in the MZ-S is called SAFOX VII.

From that I concluded that the system is still the same but that they have tune it along the way so that it would preform better.

Maybe in the new cameras we will see a SAFOX IX.

Th AF system is also quite old, I believe it was first used on the *ist D right or am I wrong?
They have updated the system along the way, if you compare the K10D and K20D site by site you notice the difference but still it's the same system.

Maybe something in the manual, a sticker on it like "the rattleing is normall" isn't going to be a lot of comfort

Is it really going that way in the UK
We don't have those because we have something like common sense in our law system

They work differendly, you have more controll with the light with a reflector.
Diffusers throws the light in all directions and relies on that light bounce off off something to soften, this work well in homes but i tend just to bounce it off the ceiling without a diffuser.
With a reflecor you catch some off the light and reflect it on the subject, you can vary the amount of light with the angle. Indoors you can balance the light that comes from the reflector and celieling to get a good result. Outdoors it also work pretty well because the bounce card is higher up then normall flash so you get a more natural effect.

I'm no expert on this so hopefully i'm correct on most things

In the first shot Amin the branch in the upper right corner seems in focus but moved, could it be that you/the camera focused on that?

Amin I readed in a comment directed at me under the robin photo of Mike that you found the problem so what was it?

Maybe APS-H
we have hear everything now so lets just be surprised.
aslong as it comes this year I'm happy
