How was the viewfinder on it John? Did you notice a difference between it with the pentamirror and a camera with a pentaprism?
I too was tempted by it - especially at that price - but I'm glad I went for the K-5 (I think :blush.

We have four camera shops in my small town. Two are official Pentax dealers - one said buy a Nikon or a Canon, not a Pentax and has no second-hand stuff.
The other has Pentax gear, but it is all at the SRP. They occasionally have second-hand stuff, but I've never seen anything there I want.
So now I tend to use shops which sell on the net, but also have a physical shop where I can try stuff first. A couple of them have even expanded, and opened new branches.

You have to watch it a few more times. Oh, and have a drink while watching it, that helps.

Maybe that's the answer .[

Or just try opening them with your computer's picture viewer, whatever that might be. I know my Microsoft 7 viewer can read DNGs. As can Irfanview. Or maybe the Pentax software, which came with the camera - that is Silkypix based after all.
Any way try something else to see if they are, as Stefan suggests, corrupted. That seems unlikely if you can see the thumbnails though.
Good luck, do let us know how you get on.

Dinner for one is shown nearly every year on New years Eve in Germany and Scandanavia.
I eventually saw it last year. I just didn't get it though.

I'll be following this thread Will. I am thinking of some winter sun in Cuba too.

Not very pointless, but never mind.My brother has just bought a K5 AND The 18-135...
Where has he got his hands on an 18-135, or has he just ordered it an is waiting for it to eventually be available?

See you knew it was worth getting one. A new ironing board is a small price to pay
For DXO to have results like that it MUST be good .

Somebody recommended Irfanview on here while back it works great.
Lightroom 3 opens K-5 DNGs btw
A quick download of Irfanview will show whether the files are corrupted or not. It takes up hardly any room and is a great free program imho.
