I think i got a pretty good deal its only taken 200 pics, almost new.
Or 10,200, or 20,200, or 90,200. After 10,000 pics it starts again at 0.

But it's good for 100,000 apparently.

PS: I have to admit that while I KNOW the *ist D recycles after 10,000, it is possible that the K10D goes to 100,000.

So it might have done 100,200 pics.
Thanks George you know how to make a fellow feel good
But i doubt it very much i got the sales reciept with it and its only 8 weeks old. And don't tell me he may have snapped off 100,000 shots by sitting up at nights pressing the shutter

I bought this one for 9.90 and it's great. Picstop have failed to mention it's for the K10d, but if you check the model on other sites, it says so.

Thanks rtunstal but I fear the postage to Australia may make it non viable. but i will look into it.
I noticed it is only 1450mAh compared to 1650mAh with the original would this not shorten its charge capacity :

Well i am now the proud owner of a K10 and can't wait to put it through its paces.
Quite a few more buttons than the K100 i just have to work out what everything does

I didnt get a manual with it as it was lost by its former owner but it should'nt take too long to work it all out. And i will print a manual off at work next week

I think i got a pretty good deal its only taken 200 pics, almost new.
I picked up another kit lens 18-55 and a sigma 100-300.
I am not that impressed with the fiddely little release levers on the card door and battery compartment.

I need a backup battery and e-bay have some widely varying prices. Which are good and which are best avoided :

IIRC Pentax has been up everest before in the guise of the mighty midget Auto110. Ideal for the size and weight constraints mentioned

Just purchased the slingshot 300, I thought the 200 may be a little small for my needs. Thanks for the reviews.

Thanks for the review. I was'nt aware it was a Lowepro bag.
I have seen these and almost bought one several weeks back. I will go back for a second look.
The price AUD$110 on that Aussie website stevejcoe posted sounds very reasonable, Thanks Steve

Do you have a link where i can have a look at this bag. I am in the market for a larger quality bag. I have never heard of this brand and i'm not even sure i can get them in Aust. thanks

The LX2000 had a brown finish as well. I must admit I quite like them but if you have seen the camera gallery on my website, you might understand.

I have seen it and a very impressive collection it is too
