This has got to be a wind up
I paid £1200 for my istD along with 18-35 lens and AF360 flashgun
And I still love it, which reminds me to change my will, I would sooner see it cremated with me than see it in a charity shop for £5
Well spotted bargain Trixie, hope you can get the batteries sorted and it works OK.
Not a wind up it works perfectly loaded it up with a set of batteries and gave it wipe over and just switched it on, the on/off switch is a bit tempromental but it was late when I was messing with it, the lens is better than the kit lens on my K-x so may swop them overThis has got to be a wind up

Has anyone got one of these Pentax 1st dslr? I have got one and I have no idea what sort of battery it takes found it in a charity shop for £5.00 I think it will work needs a bit of a clean but the kit lens is in perfect condition just the battery housing is a bit dirty, I think the battery might have leeked out at one time, its got a strap and a lenscap too.
Best wishes Trixie

Trixie, the K-x will definitely take 16gb cards (use one in mine all the time) and I've also tested it with 32gb - no problems. Do you want to swap your K-x with mine for a week or two and see if mine behaves itself with your cards?
BTW, I always format cards in the camera and have never had a problem (apart from cards splitting apart which is nothing to do with the camera!)

Thank you David for the very kind offer, I will see how it goes and PM you in a few days, I've put a new 8GB in it at the moment and it seems to be OK best wishes Trixie Trixie, the K-x will definitely take 16gb cards (use one in mine all the time) and I've also tested it with 32gb - no problems.

Hi today took camera back to shop, he told me to format in the PC!!! and that my K-x won't read a 16 gb card, it did read it two weeks ago when I went out with Puma and the guys, so I dont know what happened to it, I have since put in a new card an 8gb and it seems to be OK now. Thank you so much for everyones tips. Best wishes Trixie

Are you formatting the cards in the camera or in a PC? Even if you just put the card in a PC it can subtly change the files which means they will no longer read properly in the camera.
Try formatting the card in the camera and take some test shots then see what happens.

Hi David, thats very kind of you, I have downloaded the firmware and need to put it in the camera, I did take it back to the shop last week he said there was nothing wrong with it, so its going again this morning might just be the firmware but there is definatley something wrong. Maybe just me. Thank you for your kind offer. Cheers Trixie
