I am about to buy a Pentax DSLR and hesitating between various system options. Anybody has the combination of K-X and Sigma 17-70 OS HSM? – Does it fit/balance K-X nicely? From the description it looks like this Sigma 17-70 is a quite big lens – doesn’t it “outweight” the camera? Thank you.

Hi everybody,

Does anybody know if K-7D has any difference in image processing compare to K-x (hardware) or the difference is due to the number of pixels only? E.g., according to DPReview tests, D300 has a sharper picture than D90 in spite of the same sensor due to higher spec image processing hardware – anything similar here or just pixels count?

Thanks,

McDim

I’ve got a replay on the question about world-wide warranty on the product from a foreign e-bay seller from Pentax UK:

“if the unit was purchased from an authorized Pentax dealer on ebay we would accept this with a copy of the proof of purchase. If the unit is purchased via a private individual through ebay we would only accept the original manufacturer's proof of purchase from when the seller originally bought the unit.”

Gentlemen,

Thank you for the comments. The ebay seller seems to be Canadian (http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Prodigital2000__W0QQ_armrsZ1). Its products seem grey (from the fact that the USA warranty stated first), but the seller promises the receipt with a purchase date and “1 Year Limited International Warranty”. I am just curious if one doesn't contradict another. I asked this question at Pentax UK site, but they are not very fast to answer.

Fellow members,

Anybody has information if the camera purchased from a foreign seller over internet will be a subject for the Pentax manufacturer's guarantee in UK? Will a receipt with a date of the purchase be sufficient for this? If the same applies to Pentax lenses? Many thanks in advance.
