Bought this on a whim a few years back as at the time I intended going hiking with my son. Never happened, so I have a brand new and unused back pack for sale.

Looking for £35 + p&p.

I can provide links to various reviews, all of which ranked it highly.

Lowepro provide a life-time warranty to the original buyer, which I can help with if ever needed as I know I have a proof of purchase (somewhere!).

I suppose part of the issue might also be whether those of us who have bought the K3III are/were in the habit of posting about our camera(s) per se or just contribute to the forum on a more general basis?

I, for example, never post photos as I prefer to save my blushes and not inflect my poor efforts on the rest of you!

Have you checked to see if you have a 2 year warranty? Which retailer did you buy it from?

Could be the expense of sending it to Germany will be Ricoh's, not yours, but in any event surely all you have to do is send it to Ricoh UK?

Both cameras now sold. Thanks for looking.

Ordered the Transcend card. Will be interesting to see how the two compare.

64GB Transcend 700S SDXC UHS-II U3 V90 SD Memory Card CL10 285MB/sec MLC Flash

€38 from a memory supplier in Ireland, memoryc.com

I've a couple due in and will test on a USB 3.2 port with USB Type C reader next week when they arrive. Normally I run SanDisk extremes but they seem to be @ >75 of whatever currency you choose.
Thanks. Good prices. £34.00 delivered. £1.00 less than a Prograde V60 card I've ordered.

Transcend seem to be the cheapest at the moment of the brands I've used before. The spec you need to look for is V90 which is the minimum sustained write speed (90MB/s) vs V60 or V30 which are 60 & 30 MB/s respectively. You're right though, prices are bananas right now.
Thanks for this. Any particular Transcend card? Have you run a real world test to see just what the difference is between a V90 card and lesser ones?

I appreciate that this camera probably has video more as a 'me too' feature and is primarily for still photography, but has anyone tried it's video capability yet?

If so, how does it compare against a camera that is more pitched at videographers?
