According to many of the review comments the warranty isn't valid in the UK.
Personally, with the amount of evidence against them I believe that there is a low risk of getting a functioning product at a substantially less than UK price and a high risk of receiving a pentax shaped brick that you can't get repaired or get a refund on.
However the more people that buy something from them and make claims on their credit cards of paypal, the more chance there is that they will eventually be shut down from using those services.

You should have a look at the reviews on their facebook page. The vast majority are '1 star' (some wanted to give zero but weren't able to). Most seem to refer to faulty goods and very poor aftersales when there is a problem.

Strangely there seem to be one or two '5 stars' quoting how wonderful they are and how they will be recommended to friends and used again. Obviously planted IMHO and very suspect.

I have bought many items from overseas companies and not had a problem. I've also bought from UK based suppliers and had nothing but problems. For this crowd I don't think it has anything to do with where they are based. Reading between the lines (and the lines themselves) says AVOID.

Today I decided to start a new project entitled "100 profiles". I have no timescale or other criteria other than the title.
This is, therefore the first of many. This one was a snatched image of my wife, taken after a nice meal, sitting on the settee in our lounge, using a single flash (FGZ 540) and a Gary Fong Powersnoot.
The room was normally lit, no special backgrounds, the flash was on 1/32 power, mounted on a lightstand with a cactus radio trigger. The K5iis was handheld, set on manual exposing just for the highlights.
It was mainly right 'in camera' with just a simple crop in Lightroom.　

As always C&C welcome

Glad you like it.

So, why did you choose the 's' version then

I found this post on 'PhotoAnswers" forum link

It starts with:
The only saving grace is that he last updated it in December 2010. However if that's the advice given to A Level students its no wonder Canikon have a monopoly

They still haven't replied to the question I sent them on 20th Feb, mentioned in that thread, about the silver K3.

Yet they are still advertising it: link

On that basis I wouldn't touch them with your barge pole let alone mine

Nah, there'll be a FF K3ii(s) by then

OMG he mentioned FF
