The new AF assist lamp in the next flagship is the same being used by US Navy Seals in their sniper rifles. Yup! Red DOT marks the spot!

Claim form asks for a serial number. Since I won't get the camera before the 15th Jan, it becomes a bit more complicated, for me (and some others probably).Simple really terms are you purchase camera before 31st December and claim before 15th jan 2012

And in Apple fashion I present to you... the Pentax Ricoh K5S. S stands for Super, like the K200D Super! Then bam they hit us with the K3Z which is a full frame camera.
Well theres my contribution to the rumor mill!

Purchased a K5 on 31st Dec 2011 from Jessops. Had to purchase through them so I can get it via financing interest free and get the £90 cashback. It says on their website that stocks "usually" arrive in 10 days. Being the impatient person that I am, called them several times yesterday, but the waiting time was too long, gave up.
Called them again today, finally got to to talk to somebody. I was advised by Jessops that K5 stocks are estimated to come in 4 weeks! Yeah, what about my cashback? I was told to contact Pentax.
Pentax was more helpful, they took my details and sent it to the company handling the cashback advising that they will accept my late claim. Im going to be sending two cashback forms, one without the serial but with proof of purchase before the deadline and the second when Jessops source me a K5.
Someone might find this info useful. Anyone here have any recommendations on what I can do here?

I feel like you just saved me a LOT of time looking for the right one. I'm fairly tall (6'4") and a review at Amazon highly recommends this. Looks like there's a PRO version in Jessops for the monopod for £34.99 and a non-PRO version at MyMemory for £31.99. What is the difference?I use a Giottos MML3270B with Manfrotto head 234RC.
