Not ALL jessops staff are brainless, I keep coming across the odd employee who does know his stuff!

Trouble is they're getting fewer and fewer, leading to the "Pentax? Who are they?" brigade taking over.

Not bad Mike there are a couple of 18-55mm wr lenses on ebay for £299.

It's still early
They all appear to be from Taiwan, no Pentax warranty there then!

You have to admire Pentax, there is no other company I know of that would bring out a new all singing all dancing updated model and then raise the price of the older unit by 25%.

It has now reached the price that we pay here in Aust, Lets hope the the K-7 drops to the same price we are paying, and normality returns to the world.
There's normality?

In todays financial climate it seems that all firms are struggling to survive.

Over the top price rises will only hit sales, meaning the numbers sold will drop, and also the profit, so prices will rise again......

In the end we wont be able to afford the remote, let alone the camera to go with it!

Let's hope you're right Clarky!

Manual available here

Check what it says about batteries.

Some cameras will only work up to a maximum rating, 2300Mah for example. What rating are the batteries?
Does the camera support that size?

If all seems ok on the battery side it most likely is the camera that's at fault.

Maybe it's time to move on!

I'm only going by what I was told John.

The other shops I tried said" Oh! can't do that one, you need to go to..."

Jessops just sent it to their labs.

I hope not Mike, it's quite exciting when an auction takes off!

Every sold anything for a huge amount that's taken you by surprise?
Yes, a chaise longue we couldn't get charity shops to collect.

No, my SMC-M 40mm went for a measly £40, including carraige. The ones before and after were £20 up on that!

Win some loose some!

I still think the postage thing is getting stupid.
