Thanks. So when someone lists something on ebay or on the classifieds here, saying '6 months warranty remaining', it's of no benefit?
Erring towards buying new, for my next purchase.

Apologies for the flood of questions, but i'm confused.
Pentax provide an excellent 2 year european warranty, but is this honoured if you buy 2nd hand from an individual?
If something goes wrong, do you send the item to Pentax or do you need to take it to the shop the first user bought it?
And do you need to provide evidence you bought the item from the first user?

I have been using Pentax camera's from the time I first bought my ME-Super and love the brand. What I would like to know is why put video on a DSLR to the detriment of other more useful features.
If I wanted video I would buy a video camera; I bought a still camera to take still pictures, so why not scrap video ofF the camera and give us things like Faster AF, better High ISO performance, dual card slots etc etc.
If this had of been done to the K7 instead of damn video, boy, would pentax have produced somthing every one would have been talking about for years, and we would have had a truly pro spec camera with Pentax branding.
Instead we got somthing that is just very very good with sub standard video. Come on pentax you can do it give us an awsome pro spec DSLR and forget the video.
Just a thought
You have a point. Including video obviously takes up valuable space inside the camera which literally 'squeezes out' the room available for these other features. Therefore Pentax should definitely turn its back on the new popular, cheap to implement, and useful HD video feature, which all the competitors like the 7D, D300s, D90 etc have.I have been using Pentax camera's from the time I first bought my ME-Super and love the brand.

Yes I have this flash unit. Just put it in manual mode and adjust your aperture till you're getting correct exposures.
These settings work for me - indoor, bounced flash off ceiling: ISO 200, shutter speed 1/125, aperture f5.6.
"M" selected on flash.

It's great to have the DAltd lenses to aspire to, and heck they aren't that expensive considering how well made they are. But yes it would be great to have more 'budget' primes to pick from too.

Well, it is PentaxUser forum, and now Pentax cameras offer video. Nowhere does it specifically state this is a photography forum:
Agree that video is a very different medium but I am sure there are many members who want to explore their Pentax kit to its full potential....

Lets have a section of the site for video, and people who are strangely phobic about video can just ignore it.Pentax User is an exclusive club for Pentax camera owners.

The Tamron and the first sigma lens have identical focal lengths so I can't see the point taking, or even having, both. Maybe mount the 28-300 or a standard zoom on the k10 for wider shots and leave the other sigma behind.

Some beautifully dour Yr Eifl landscapes and seascapes in that set. You live nearby? I've got great childhood memories of descending Vortigern's Valley.

I am thinking of buying from an individual who can supply proof of purchase (with the 2 year warranty, expires 2012 marked on receipt) but there is no way I can go back to where he purchased the item if something went wrong. Perhaps I need to check this with Pentax.
