No camera company is the be all and end all, it's just I've never had so much go faulty as I did with the Pentax.

I've had enough of the issues with the k-30, and not impressed with Pentax

Sadly I have to agree, so I've moved to Nikon and I've also found a company who can insure my camera incase anything goes wrong. No camera is invincible, but then none go as wrong as much as Pentax do.

What's weird/disgusting is Pentax are still selling these new today. For the lucky ones this fails within the 2 year warranty period.

That's how they make their money by selling a rubbish camera.

The body comes boxed with accessories including instruction book cd, spare battery and charger. i also have a prim lens (which does work, but needs a rear cap and lens cap which are easily picked up). Lens is in a clean condition with no fungust, rust etc.

Note: the camera does has a fault (which can be fixed) also needs a body cap.

Selling due to upgrade. Thought I would sell here before Ebay.

Asking for £70 for the whole lot. Please PM me and ask for my PayPal details if interested.

Had a lot of fun with this camera, but now time to move on. Many thanks

I think when Louise has actually phoned SRS to voice her concerns we should start to see how this will unfold for her. Hopefully some compromise will be reached with Pentax, depending of course on what the actual fault is.

It was the shutter (I must have worn it out, har har)

No point in having a rugged weather sealed camera rated at 100,000 actuation etc if it's going to seriously fail within 2 1/2 years.

Exactly, I thought it would last longer, now I'm stuck with a rather 'expensive' repair bill. Which I see may happen to a lot of other people with the K50 which appears to develope the same fault.

When Photography Blog reviewed the K30 back in 2012 they stated that the shutter was designed for 100k releases.

They failed to mention that it develops a fault after two years down the line.

It's a shame because I'm now being hindred in a photography course that I wanted to do which is a bit sad for me

Even staff at castle cameras thought Johnsons price was crazy! i got my camera four years ago in December at MRS Microsystems in London.
