This is really really easy to resolve.

You write to them explaining the problem with your camera and under SOGA goods must be of satisfactory quality, the fact your expensive camera has broken within two years shows it is off unsatisfactory quality. Along with a letter you include printouts of the forms filled in on moneyline don't pay yet. In the,enter state you are giving them 7 days to rectify this issue by replacing your camera with a new one or court proceedings will be commenced upon.

On the claim form you put you are claiming the cost of the camera, plus any phone calls, postage costs incurred so far and the cost for suing them, costs are in the money claim site which I think is around £75 now.

I guarantee ey will resolve before court proceedings.

Why is this successful??? When you claim through money claim you are actually using a form if county court based in Northampton. When you win a case like this the company you are suing gets a county court judgement, they will then have to pay or face a winding up order, during this time the companies credit rating gets affected.

So rather than do all that they will pay up....

Write to the MD or CEO if you like but they won't do anything, hence going the 7 day route.

I will be buying one and my new k-5 mkiis will be my second body with my current k-5 as backup.

Nikon service has recently been shocking by all accounts with turnarounds longer than two weeks. I think once Pentax launch full frame they will have to improve their pro service..

The d600 can already be had for £1659 from SRS

Imagine the price pentax will need to launch at in 2013/14

Impressed with that interview, particularly the thoughts about sub 2400usd ff bodies. If that the market they're going for by 2013/4 the price will be a lot less than that,,also the discussion about new lenses for FF fits in with the new patent for the 70-200mm 2.8

Updated 645d is also good new, with the launch of ff pentax will be the only manufacture of interchangeable lens bodies from small factor the q to mf the 645d, fascinating turnaround if they can pull it off...

The 35mm da lens is supposed to be the same construction as the 35mm f/2 also catching kids running around at f/1.8 is going to be difficult I would have thought.

Those test shots do look very soft, I would return for an exchange and not bother waiting for Pentax to reply.

I used a Chinese version. It can't import raws so I save as jpeg within the camera and upload that way. The camera connect can only import from a dsc folder.

Not sure about a raw viewer app.

I have found e iPad disappointing as a photography tool but superb for showing off portfolios.

That lens was around £210 at launch and that lens does not have motorised af either So what's your point??? I would guess in a years time the da 50mm will be around e same price as the Nikon...

I agree with Doug, I had exactly the same experience when I did a level photography.

As John says there are many photo agencies out there that deal with this kind of thing, that way you can licence them out and keep the originals

If looking at clubs beware of the difference between photography clubs and camera clubs.

Some just talk about gear and compare their gear to other members without looking at any photography and wouldn't know Henry Cartier Bresson from their David bailey.

Photography clubs talk photos, art, photographers etc.

You will not know the difference until you go into one, beware....
