Nope, it was waiting on my door mat for me along with a new focusing screen for my Horseman, a set of Pentax M42 extension tubes for my S1a/ES and quite a few Christmas cards.

That reminds me, I really should get round to opening my Xmas cards.
Fed up with looking at them sitting on the side.

Had exactly the same thing happen when I first got my K10D and wanted a 18-55mm MKII lens.
Kept me waiting and waiting, eventually I managed to contact them just to be told the lens was not in stock.

I had thought about holding off to see if they bring out a new body but to be honest the K20D is more than advanced enough for my skills plus I just decided to stick to a budget that I was prepared to spend.

I don't imagine for one moment I would buy a new model as I also expect the price of a new body to be a fair bit more but at the same time the K20D should drop a fair wack as well which would then be enough incentive for me to make the jump from my K10D.

I was already to buy the K20D and 18-55mm mkI lens for £539 then I go to the SRS site to see that it has been taken off.
The body only has also gone up from £499.99 to £539.

Ah well .. serves me right for being so indecisive.

I may well wait now and see if there is a new body announced in the next few months.

If I remember correctly Paypal does not pay out the first £15 of any claim if the seller has no funds in their account as they keep that as an administration fee.

That's how it used to be anyway.

Also, did you have to sign for the package?

Holy moly....My K10D has just over 9000k shots taken since April 2007...

Well in my defense it was my first DSLR and I shot anything that moved .. plus anything that didn't

Strange, works for me .. I can download fine from there.
It will only tell you the number of shots though .. not why you have jumped.

Because the more people that use the brand the more money can be spent on making it even better.
A friend of mine has a Canon 450D and recently bought a Nikon D90 .. I must say the Canon did indeed feel pretty flimsy but I was impressed with the D90.
Pity it wouldn't accept the aperture via body with my Adaptall 2 lenses (apparently only the D300 and upwards can do that) otherwise I would have been sorley tempted to borrow it for a few days.
