John. I know this site is sponsored? owned? by ephotozine and advertising is the life blood of sites like this, BUT how come we're not supposed to talk about other brands and yet there are adverts for Panasonic. Canon. etc. etc. etc.
Just a thought.
CHEERS Vic.
You can Vic as long as it's not another brand body. Just look at the third party kit that Pentax users use when it comes to glass, flash or triggers etc. Surely though, a true Pentax User would only use Pentax? John.

Cheers for the prompt reply.
I'll search here for Q images, have a feeling someone started a thread a while back.
Pentax will have edited the stock website images to an inch of their life so rather see 'real' images !

The CCD sensor in the K10D/K200D combined to the Pentax image processor have a very "smooth" look at low ISO. It's something the CMOS sensor doesn't have.
I kept my K10D for studio work just for that CCD "something".

Pentax France apparently sponsored him for a bit but were none too helpful during his time with them, I think he was also sponsored by Canon for a while too? Maybe now he's sponsored by Nikon???
That said if your in a studio set up and the camera is continually focusing on peoples feet rather than the face it doesn't sound too good really?
Just read through those posts and some very interesting statements are made. I didn't get to page 3 though.LennyBloke wrote:

Yeah, he's now in the Nikon forum, quite a lot on the big SUN readers site. It seems that the "hit and miss" AF of the K5 is the reason why Benjamin Kanarek has stopped using Pentax! And he was a real assset to Pentax

Some of Robert Daley’s comments seem very pertinent.
"Man --- You were THE Rock Star of the Pentax Forum!
Man. We are really going to miss you and your super talent there! No one that I know uses the Pentax brand professionally, and no one used it nearly as successfully as you did - and the K-1 videos - awesome! Also, how you were able to do what you did with the very under-whelming Pentax flash system, I'll never know.
Actually the Pentax 67 and several Pentax 67 lenses used to be a cornerstone of the fashion photography industry. Since the arrival of digital, Pentax completely vanished --- with the exception of your wonderful talents. Completely gone".
"Don't tell Pentax this, but I'll (and many others) likely be with them for the duration. I have some awesome old K, M and FA glass that's waiting patiently for Pentax Full Frame. C'mon Pentax --- deliver to us a Full Frames camera........and work you K-5IIs miracles with the sensor software! In my very humble opinion, no cropped-sensor camera tops the K5IIs. None".
"What surprises me is not that you went to Nikon Full Frame. What surprises me is that you didn't go --- with your fine talent --- to Nikon Full Frame sooner. Shame on Pentax for not supporting you!
Good luck with your Nikon. Well miss you a lot.
Note to the Nikon Full Frame community: You've got a great talent headed your way! He's someone really special. Just wait and see. He'll make his Nikon gear sing!
Pentax's loss in Nikon's gain --- big time!"
I wonder if Ricoh even care?

Cost of repair is based on disassembly, costly replacement parts, re-assembly and testing plus the labour. Nothing like the manufacturing cost.
At the end of the day, the camera isn’t worth that much for you to pay, as you say, a new one is cheaper.
My 16-50mm was written off yet I was offered a new one at cost, AUS$500.
Other marks don't push WR yet their top models are which is why pros all over the world use them. This thread will have already dissuaded some from using their cameras in the rain.
Good luck with your claim.

Nothing like competition to generate development which in turn benefits the consumer.
