Surely mailing the camera from Spain will be expensive - if you come back to the UK via Heathrow, why not wait until then and drop it off?

Yes, will sort it out in March when I return for good Will leave it until I get back to the UK in March and then do some investigating, I have emailed Pentax to see if they can give an idea of price.
Although looking on the bright side the vet still hasnt got in contact with the dogs blood test results so with any luck they may have lost them which means another 6 months.:

Well that was quick, I am to send the camera to Pentax who will take a look and email me a price for repair.
If I do not agree then they ship the camera back at no charge to me which seems pretty good.
They seemed to ignore my other question as to whether there is a new model coming out in the next few months though ...

I have a sensor cleaning pen that is usually very good at getting crud off the sensor (although only a cheap solution) but it will not budge this in the slightest which leads me to the idea it is a scratch.

As I say, it's quite small .. but bloody annoying just the same.

My sympathies, It's always worse when you do something like that so you know that you only have yourself to blame...
Oh no, it wasn't my fault .. the dog nudged me as I was blowing the camera through .... Hi Mike,

I caught my K10D sensor with the rocket blower nozzle the other day and now in certain circumstances I am getting this mark showing up on my photos.
Obviously this is only a small part of the image but when I want to sell the camera on I cannot keep something like that to myself.
Its easily rectified in most cases but very annoying just the same and I was wondering if anyone had an idea of the price with regard to getting a new sensor fitted by Pentax.

Ah, so my offer of £200 was refused on Ebay and then you accepted someone elses for the same amount?

The only downside of micro4/3 is that an electronic v/f becomes more or less essential for thru the lens viewing. Up to now these have been hated by photographers but if the Panasonic G1 is anything o go by then we will all be getting much more used to them.
I'm not sure if it just not the older generation who doesn't like using the electronic viewfinder.The only downside of micro4/3 is that an electronic v/f becomes more or less essential for thru the lens viewing.

The majority of the younger generation of camera users were more or less brought up on compacts that use this system and most actually demand livieview on ad DSLR before they will consider it.

Have the K10D already but would just like to say there are some interesting pictures on your web site and Flickr.

On looking at the form it seems that I may have missed the boat - it seems that the closing date for this offer was 13th Feb - which may be why it's not on the site4 any more - did anyone else know this before seeing the form or is it just me being unobservant.
Sorry ...
Not sure if they will honour it, if they are anything like these mobile phone cashback offers then you stand no chnace as they rely on a certain amount of people not claiming to pay for the others that do.
Sorry again ...
