No doubt would be described as in excellent condition by some on that well known internet auction site!
Wasn't the camera worth anything? Surely the body shell might be welcomed by someone should theirs have become dented.
I had an ME with a dented prism cover and was about to get it repaired only it got stolen in the meantime. Oh well, saved the cost of its repair.

It is alleged that they sell the cameras used in their videos on as new. See:
http://fstoppers.com/digitalrev-allegedly-selling-used-cameras-as-new-and-are-ye...
This includes links to the original allegations.
It is suggested that they don't use the straps as that would make it obvious the camera has been used.
I think Kai's videos are wearing a bit thin now - he didn't seem at ease in this one - I wonder if the allegations are affecting him.

Anyone spot that the DA*300mm has a field of view of 90 degrees. It's at 4m 37secs. A good idea to do the video but surely someone should have spotted that.

The D600 isn't that different in price to the K-5 when it first appeared.

Agreed with that, unless a new camera is involved that isn't supported in the old version such as a K-30.
If still using the same camera then it must be a software issue if it worked before. Reinstalling PE9 might solve it.

You may need to update Camera Raw. I think version 6.5 is the latest update for Elements 9. Here's a link for it:

Of course, if you already have that version it might not be that!
As a general rule, using DNG's keeps things more compatible and future proof. We're lucky Pentax support that in-camera; with some other makes the files need converting to that.
If you have a camera that is no longer supported in Elements 9, you should be able to convert the PEF's you have from it to DNG with Adobe DNG converter.
The latest version supports the K-30:

Are these PEF's or DNG's ?

As it turns out, the camera is more resilient than I expected, so this is now a very long term project.
Perhaps in a few decades from now this little MG might have gained some notoriety...
