I have found most card reader problems are with CF readers mainly pin breakages.
I had a CF Sandisk extreme 111 go faulty on me, SRS changed it for me.
I have had others tell of card faults on SD, luckily none myself.

I have spoken to the new Pentax repair centre and the backlog of repairs were just due to the “change over” from Pentax themselves, there were a couple of weeks (4-5) when nothing was done.
Now they tell me the turn round should be as good as all the others.
Let us know how quick or slow they really are.
I was enquiring how much a new sensor would be for a K20, £480
It would be just as cheap, or nearly to buy a new body from SRS.

Hi guys, newish to the forum and newish to DSLR's. I have a K10 and use 2 manual lenses, 50mm 1.7 and 28mm 3.5. I've been looking at the 16-45 and wanted to ask you guys besides the wider end, which I like, are there any advantages or disadvantages I should expect over my 2 manual lenses ?

Actually go and have a look at the price of Nikon glass compared to Pentax, you might be shocked as a lot of the primes are cheaper on the Nikon 35mm F1.8 £190, 50mm f1.8 £110, 85mm f1.8 £330 and the 16-85 VR zoom probably the sharpest standard lens in the world a shade over £400 and of course the Tokina 16-50 and 50-135 are available in Nikon mount for about the same price as the Pentax. Not knocking Pentax but the days of cheap glass for any brand are over.scottie wrote:
£1199 at that price i'm definitely moving full time onto nikon when the K200D dies of death. I recently payed a good price for D300 and its a fantastic bit of kit. forgive my being presumptuous, but i cant see the K7 being as good as the D300, when you consider the cost of the D300 is the same or less depending on where you shop. and thats with the 2 prices hikes by nikon this year!

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.
And I have now sold the camera that required the CF card. (no it was not a Canon)
