I have it and its good, but for that kind of price you are only £25 - £30 away from the newer models with touchscreen and a two year warranty...

The other day I was talking cameras with a friend who was looking to buy, I mentioned I used Pentax and Canon to which he replied oooh, Pentax, top end stuff then. His 16 year old son then piped up, no ... Pentax do all the cheap multi coloured bodies, it's Canon and Nikon that have all the decent cameras.

Interesting to see what Pentax have become in a generation.

I am amazed the 16 year old had heard of pentax, they must be doing something right then

Lighter pockets due to all the ff glass needed for it

But you're not taking into account the yen conversion nor the economies of scale of serving the American market to the EU or UK markets.
as for warranty its nit about how many fail but how many they will have to repair, all these factors need to be taken into account.

You also have not taken into account the wage difference between here, the EU and the USA.

You complain (rightly) about the USD to GBP conversion - $799 >>> £510 ... and add on VAT which takes it to around £610 so we are being ripped off by £180 or so.

The Europeans have it even worse - €999 >>> £850 so they will be paying £230 extra.

Your forgetting American sales tax needs to be added and we get a two year warranty under SOGA too.

Great news I was beginning to think sigma had dropped pentax, they're killing it right now...

I would like one of these.

Going back to the original question i think we all agree the mkii and mkiis are superb cameras.

Even if the next body isnt full frame i hope they keep the k-5 body design and upgrade the processor and add a second sdhc slot. The processr I thinkmis now the weakest link, the k-5 is such a responsive speed merchant and then the speed gets throttled by the now ancient processing engine.

A couple of my fellow pros have had a go of my mkii and they usually shoot with highend canons and nikons and have been very impressed with the af and shooting speed of it.
