Count me out, Doug!!.. I offer a paw up to no man!!

PM sent.

Please excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor!! As Mark said - pic 1 is bang on the money!!... But, I'm gonna go one better than Mark - FULL CREDIT for ALL of the above photos!!:

I think you should google this one, Colin!! I seem to recall that any payments sent by cheque/postal order goes to a mailbox registered at an address in Regent Street, London. I believe there's also been similar topics posted on this site about them too.

If it's the same company I'm thinking about, perhaps you should visit a price comparison website to establish who's selling the cheapest bargepoles!

Why dont you see what SRS has to offer?.. Or, if you are looking at buying a camera body only, importing it is free of import duty - you will be liable for the VAT though!

If you're sourcing from the Far East, have a look at Big Camera in Bangkok (www.bigcamera.co.th), or in HK, one of the largest stores is Tin Cheung Cameras Ltd (www.tincheungcamera.com.hk).

GOOD LUCK!!

I'm not familiar with interactivity on Photobucket - but I dont really use it that much anyway. I like Flickr, but I think it's "lost its way" a wee bit in recent months.

First page I looked at on Amazon had a K7 body priced at pennies off of £900, but a K5 priced at £630 for a body only. If this is your budget, why not see if your local camera shop has the new K30 that you can "test-drive"..?? I believe the K30 is being priced around the same figure. Indeed, SRS Microsystems are pricing the K30 at £599.00!!

Cliff - is it actually SILKYPIX you have, or the Pentax offering? If it's the Pentax Digital Camera Utility 4, I can burn you a copy if it helps?

Yeah... Wanna give me one as a freebie??

I can't vouch for the quality of the optics, but maybe worthy of consideration???

I can't find an OPM online for this, so difficult to give you both a walk-through. All I can suggest is to contact Pentax customer services for advice. Sorry I can't help, but I'm sure one of the other members (likely to be John Reilly - he's a great guy for offering help) can advise.
