No CF or SD problems here yet, apart from one card that wouldn't format in a K10D, formatted fine in a second one and then behaved in both after that.

There are quite a few suspect cards around though, so that possibility could at least be looked at.

But you haven't even seen it yet to assess these doubts in your mind, so how can you say it's not for you?

With the pancake lenses I just hold the bottom of the camera, with the same end result.

However, this technique works best without the added encumbrance of a battery grip.

I've been charged up to £15 for the courier's charge.

Holding a camera by both ends is not really the most stable grip. Try one hand under the lens that supports the camera weight (the fingers wrap around the zoom ring on the lens) and the other stabilises and releases the shutter. That's the way to easier shake free pictures.

Yes, there isn't always an underhand or devious reason for everything that happens. I'm sure manufacturers want to produce the most attractive products that they can and any limitations will be a result of the limitations of current technology.

There's no reason why they should have problems. Pentax reliability seems pretty good.

Have you formatted the cards in the camera?

I wonder what happened to the increase in duty on digital cameras that could shoot video? Remember the furore?

There's no doubt that the K7 shoots video.

Don't you have to pay import duty as well as shipping? Then the courier adds a service charge. Then VAT is added to the lot.

Then if there's a fault, what a mess returning the camera.

The product life cycle in one way has been a bit longer than we might at first think.

The basic *istDS design has carried forward, with modifications, to the K200D. The K10D design has carried forward to the K20D, again with modifications.

So the underlying chassis has actually had a reasonable life span whilst allowing constant upgrades.
