No do it yourself. Get an Actric Butterfly brush from Visible Dust (a good Canadian comany!), or somethign similar, make sure the battery is fully charged on the camera and give it a go.
It is easy.

The Sony 200,300 and 350, all out soon, have the same screen.
The new Sony 300 and 350 have a flippable screen for live view. The 350 is also a 14MP camera.
See what I mean about a missed opportunity for Pentax. Sorry but if Sony can do it, I don't see why Pentax can't.

That's very intriguing. Perhaps they realise that the British are utterly hopeless at speaking anything aprt from English.

Well I am British but they don't hear that in an e-mail of course, but certainly do when I open my mouth - in English or Dutch.
And I have a good Middlesex accent, which comes through in my Dutch too, ofcourse. My other half speaks Dutch with a broad Oldham accent
I have had the rather surreal experience of talking Dutch with a German as it was the only language we had in common.

I don't speak German at all

All the Germans I have ever met speak fluent English, so communication should not be difficult!

Well most I have met don't (or won't?) speak much if any English. And in e-mails and the like they assume because I have a Dutch (e-mail) address that I speak German.
Gets very frustrating at times.
But hopefully we will still get service, such as it is from the Dutch importer for the foreseeable future.

Even Canon rely on their importer in NL, and, having had dealings with both, the Canon one make the Pentax one look great!

Does Germany also offer a two guarantee on Pentax cameras? I don't think the UK does for instance.
I don't mind dealin with Germany as long as I can communicate with them. I don't speak German at all, though i can understand a fair bit. Would have to get my daughter-in-law to have to deal with them for me otherwise. (She's German )

Pentax NL has the Optio S10 as it's latest news. Enough said

You've obviously never had to deal with the Pentax importers in the Netherlands.
When Pentax had their own place in Breda they were well known for their good service but whe that closed we were left with the useless importer to deal with everything. Hopeless.

Maybe I'll be buying a Sony next?

Not worth it unless you've got some old K-M glass twiddling it's thumbs in a cupboard somewhere.

Well there is this bit of news on Steves digicams today.
http://www.steves-digicams.com/pr/sony_01292008_cmos_pr.html

But since Pentax are finally producing sensors with Samsung and are no longer using Sony ones I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet.

No time to make pictures this weekend , too busy with a rush translation job. This discussion makes a nice break (along with the rest of the forum ).
Off to the zoo tomorrow with my grandson so hopefully I can at least take some happy snaps then.
