Stefan, Thanks for that link, not seen anything like that before.....interesting stuff.

All - this will be my first Pentax (previously a Canon FD user :roll - any "common faults" I should be looking out for?

Thanks,

Mark.

Barrie/Tel - Thanks for that, downloaded and installed. Just need the camera to arrive.....

Hi, I've lurked here for a while and gained some useful information. Many thanks already.

Just taken the plunge, and I have a "mint, like new" K10D with 18-55 lens on its way to me.

I have an "approval" period, so want to check it out throughly as soon as it arrives (obviously). Is there anything in particular I should be looking for that might not be obvious, what I mean is are there any common faults that a K10D might have, or anything that might be a tell-tale sign something is wrong (or about to go wrong)? I haven't found anything much on the web so either I haven't looked hard enough, or there are no faults with this camera

One of the things I intend to check is the number of shots taken - is this in the EXIF info, and what's the best (free?) software for checking this. (Or another method of checking if it isn't in the EXIF).

Thanks for your time....
