The US Price converts to about £862 with p&p. I was told on holiday that the K200D had made Pentax's "cool" with Canon users. I know that they are after video, so do you think they will be imprest with the K-7?

Hi All,

I promised to keep you informed as to the result. I have started a poll under the DSLR forum. Basically Pentax say that it needs a new PCB and will cost £288.42. However, I have now found out where and when I bought it. It was from an Ebay seller on November 16th last year. It came with a warranty. How long does the warranty last? I am writing to the seller to ask if they are willing to replace it.

If I get it repaired or replaced for free I am thinking of selling it with my 100D and upgrading to either the 20D or the new K7 somebody says will be out soon.

Thanks

Hi,

Some of you will know that I have had a problem with my K200D which is relatively new. It started to clunk when switched on and I was told that the Image Stabliser was broken. So I took it to the London Camera Exchange to send to Pentax. I promised to let you know the outcome so, I rang LCE today and they chased Pentax. The result? Apparently its the main circuit board (PCB). The cost will be £288.42 to repair. Unless of course I can find where I bought it from to see if it is in warranty. I would be interested to hear want other members would now do with the camera? I don't know whether having it repaired is worth the money, given that LCE have told me that by about July all Pentax cameras and equipemnt will see a massive increase in price due to the £/$ exchange rates.

Thanks

No of course I don't mind. I just don't know how to do what you have yet but I will have a go. I was just amazed that I even managed to get a fair clear Roller in the shot. They were all over the place. By the time I had managed to get them in frame on the camera it was just a matter of shotting and hoping for the best. I took over 100 shots and most are blurred or don't even have a bird in the picture!

Thanks again for your suggestions wil practise in Paintshop Pro.
