Generally I don't buy warranties. Most electronic devices, if they are going to fail, statistically fail within the first six months. After that, there are no certainties but in general the failure rate is low.

Having insurance is something else, and may well be desirable.

I think that's enough now. Please do not post accusations against other members, or direct personal remarks. It's bad manners, it's against the PU T&Cs and we don't accept it.

I have no idea, but I'll find out for you.

It's cheaper in Denmark. I saw everyone nipping over from Malmo to the other side to pick up their beer supplies.

However, maybe that's not very close to Norway?

The first place I's ask would be SRS Microsystems - they deal in Pentax binoculars.

eBay might be a long shot, but you never know.

What formats will it accept? Perhaps just "Save As" into whatever format is asked for.

Is ICE a variation on the ICE we have in scanners to reduce dust and scratches?

Hopefully the progression of K-7, K-5, K-5 II and K-5 IIs based on the same basic structure has done us good service with an eye to the future.

I am thinking this will mean more available spares for longer as the basic production run has been quite a long one. There's perhaps far less prospect in the long term for one-off designs like the I-10, although we don't know what internal components are common to other compacts in the range.

I have a Benbo available if it's of interest to anyone, no price settled as yet.

Not sure, I had a thought it might be much older than that, pre-Sony in terms of SLRs.

I'm just trying to recall which camera actually had this mechanism permanently fitted as standard? I seem to remember an SLR lens with a compact-camera-style built in lens cover, plus leaves that opened to form a small lens hood.

It might be going back a bit, but I've had a lot of classic stuff passed my way lately and can't recall what this was.
