I find when you complain and don't get any satisfaction find out their press or communications office. These have way more power than cs or call centre staff.
I had reason to complain about some facilities and the handling of my complaint.
They met be on site asked me for my suggestions. Next year they emailed be telling me why they had done and asked me to tell them how they did. It was amazing. Everything I said had been implemented by them.

Its an age thing. Since turning 40 I need to put on reading glasses for anything close to me, like an l.c.d. display. Then I have to take them off again to look at the subject I am photographing. That’s not to mention the fact that even with glasses, in strong sunlight I can’t make out the LCD image on the back of the camera. I can manage fine without glasses all the time when looking through a viewfinder, optical or electronic – even if the latter is inferior. That’s why, sadly, there is no point in me even thinking about getting a K-01.
I guess I am waiting for something similar from Pentax with EVF, even better with FF. Myself apart hats off to Pentax for breaking new ground in such a bold manner, I hope the K-01 is a big success.
But then, hats seriously back on again for the price hike as the camera crosses the Atlantic. $749 = £474, NOT £630 (that’s a 33% more to buy here than in the US). This country is so Velcro.
If only it was as simple as that exchange rates fluctuate so there has to be a margin involved there plus the VAT element....Its an age thing.

I think its a great idea that they stuck with the k-mount, puts faith in lens buying.

the tax was a levy on video cameras for the movie industry because mini dv recorderss originally had dv in plug so could make digital copies, hence why most dv camcorders after that discarded the DV in socket...

Having handled the Nikon 1 and its 60 fps I am surprised the k-01 only managers 6, I thought it was the mirror box that slowed the frame rate down, particularly as the k-01 has an electronic shutter.

I think a DA lens will be more likely f/5.6 a DA* I would assume to be an f/4 lens which would be stupid money...

I know we all love SRS but why send the camera to them when all they do is send it to Johnsons which you could have done yourself and saved time and Cris some work.
