I still have my Ricoh XRX and still get very good results from it.
Liked it so much that, in spite of buying digital SLR's, I have accumulated a few more.
Lenses are interchangeable with my DSLR's.
Best of both worlds.

Thanks for the welcomes.
I confess to also being a camera collector. When I let it be known that I was taking up photography again when I retired I got offers of cameras "never used" or inherited from relatives. Or upgraders or Canon/Nikon migrants.
I also passed all my M42 gear on to another "collector", who has 80 cameras. Many of which he still uses.
I bought a K-x the year before retiring but never really took to it. Convinced that the DSLR route was still the one to follow I bought a K500 last year. This was better but still a tad daunting. A K100D, K110D and K10D followed. The K10D is definitely the one I use most and I think will be the workhorse. They are all beautiful pieces of engineering.
Photoshop Elements and Gimp software fit in with my IT background and enable correction of errors.
I enjoy my photography and could never be a purist.
And for the record my total number of cameras currently stands at 18.

I am lucky enough to live in rural Perthshire where there is ample scope for landscape and wildlife photography.
In my film days I had a K1000, MX & MG. Then I moved on to a Ricoh XRX.
In the last 6 months I have discovered Pentax DSLR cameras and acquired 6.
K-x, K500, K100D, K110D & K10D. I still have K fit lenses from my film cameras and they still give good results on the DSLR's.
It's good to learn something new after 50 years of photography.
I hope to rebuild my confidence to the point where I might show a sample of my efforts.
This seems the place to seek advice and view reviews of kit.

I have 2 K100D cameras. One works without a problem - using Eneloop batteries. The other has suffered battery drain within 1 - 2 days even when not used. I tried everything from 'matched' Eneloop batteries to CR-V3's.

Then one day I realised that the Shake Reduction was always on. I switched it off and loaded with Eneloop batteries. After 3 days use the battery display shows full charge.

There were a couple of instances that the battery display showed 50% charge, but after a shot was taken it reverted to 100%.

It may be a coincidence relating to the batteries but over the next week or so I shall recharge this set of batteries, reload them and switch on SR - and leave on.

I am determined to get this K100D to work as well as the other.

If the problem returns I shall switch off SR and see if fix returns.

Last option is a couple of rechargeable CR-V3's which I have in stock.

Pentax should really look after their loyal customers better.
