You guys aren't helping!

PS - anyone imported from B&H Photovideo. I know who they are, and trust them, but wondered what real experience is like? New from them, including tax, duties and postage costs about the same as a mint secondhand lens over here, which has left me pondering.....
Appears to work out at just over £800, depending on the exchange rate at the time but only black ones it would appear.

Have you made up your mind yet :

Getting back to the OP, does a W90 actually exist :

So did a Sony I have, received confirmation of receipt two days after I sent it and I did not have to pay for postage and insurance either. All the W80 info I have found on the net indicates the W80 has poor image quality. If Pentax have superceded it with a new version because of this I will fast track a letter to the local trading standards people. I feel sure those immortal words of "unfit for purpose" will have an effect.

I really can't see you getting very far with such an approach.

Not impressed with the W80, Pentax advised sending it to Johnsons for repair possible sensor issue. Not bad for new kit. Personally I would not go anywhere near another Pentax P & S. But the K10 & K20 are never too far away. By the way Johnsons have yet to acknowledge receipt, pretty poor service all round I think. It`s a dull wet day, it`s been a heavy week.

My Canon Ixus needed a new sensor.

.................because working ergonomics are very important. All the cameras (and accessories such as batteries) need to be the same. The K10D and K20D fit together seamlessly...............
My thoughts exactly John.

I want to be able to pick up any of my DSLR's and not have to think how each one works

Was there ever a rule about not recycling previous competition entries :

Since when is it so ?
I remember the time, when it was possible to send PM as soon as you became a member.
A relatively recent change to prevent spam

I was hoping they were going to do it just before the end of the cashback but no such luck. I have my eye on something else at the moment.

£700 - £750 would be my best guess

You can have my 'titanium' coloured one for £1200.00 + postage. That's a saving of £239.00 off of the RRP. Bargain at that, go on, you know you want one.
When you say Titanium Pete, do you mean just an ordinary silver one or is there a special edition. :

I have a black one and would love to swap it for a silver one too match my 43mm and 77mm.
I think Clarky you have the special edition 'Ebony' version
