How will SIgma know if you paid duty on it or not? They will know it is imported, from the serial number if nothing else, but who tells them that you didn't pay duty on it when you imported it?

Sigma are no worse than many other companies with regard to international warranties, and are seemingly better than some. Canon won't service under warranty any "grey" imports, which gives Pixmania purchasers amongst others a potential problem. They also won't service under warranty anything you bought in another country and legally imported!

I'd heard about this too. I wonder if the press can release the info then or if they have to wait until the 24th(?) when the original announcement was to be made.

Maybe the bread and water diet will have to be extended and I'll get one of the new models

Thanks Chris - looks like I'm on bread and water for a while so I can save up fast

According to http://tinyurl.com/2tvnbt
the K10D is no longer in production. Anybody know if this is true?

I still haven't bought mine, I was waiting a bit longer, as I am really quite happy, most of the time, with my Ds.

Having forked out my savings on my OH's Christmas/birthday present it looks like I may have missed the boat I just hope either the K20D or K200D is as good and affordable. It will be a while before I have the money saved for a new camera.

Martin I don't envy you this week! What a fantstic collection of photos.
None from me - no time for getting out photgraphing buildings, not even a very well known palace just round the corner.

Martin you should have tried my link

This shop in Holland has them in stock. They are very helpful - try e-mailing them for a quote on postage.

Yep Ben that looks like the new Pentax to me. Can't wait to get my hands on it - I really like the new livery, and the big green (turquoise?) button

The problem with that is that it gets in the way of the QR plate for the tripod, at least it would for my Markins plate.

Congratulations Martin! A lovely shot.
My OH wants to know what you are doing with his Christmas present! (He got a bottle from one of the sons this year )
