It's the number of delivered frames that you have shot. Whatever happened before at the factory is another matter and maybe some cameras are tested more thoroughly than others.

I'm not sure it matters much as it's not so much different to a new car having mileage on the clock when delivered to the customer.

The 100 is the folder and the 5563 the file number. Assuming you have the camera set to continuously count then you have shot up to image 5563.

Yes indeed, there must have been a few 100mm Macro lenses shifted in the past few months.

I guess it will "all come out in the wash" as they say.

That hasn't been discontinued to the best of my knowledge and I'm not sure that Jessops ever stocked it, but maybe they did.

The replacement for the 100mm macro lens could well be the WR version, as simple as that. Or someone at Jessops didn't really know so had assumed.

It looks more like an adapter than a lens! It will be interesting to see what the final hard facts are.

It's reasonable to expect any camera to last for many years. They have a 2 year warranty from Pro Dealers anyway, so clearly Pentax are confident.

Some percentage will fail, but most electronics fail in the first 6 months if they are going to. This is true of all electronic devices.

beakynet has a point - Smartmedia cards are almost impossible to find at all now, cutting out quite a few cameras in the process, regardless of their AA batteries.

However, these cameras are also so much slower than current ones, would we want to use them anyway?

I'll move this over to the discussion area as it isn't a Lead to any particular deal any more.

Very glad to hear that Bob. I think given time the Pentax will prove much easier to use well than any bridge camera or compact is.

You don't have to spend a fortune, as always it's worth remembering that it's the photographer that makes the image. The camera is only the tool that takes it.
