Wow, that is a steal considering what they tend to go for 2nd hand!

I think it might have something to do with the demosaic algorithm and the 'binned' sections on the sensor. The actual sensor is 6064 x 4016 sub-pixels. The output RAW file is 6016*4000. The same sensor on the K-70 outputs 6000 x 4000. I think when the software is doing it's thing it is incorrectly trying to output sections of the sensor that are not used by the camera.

It is not a fault with your camera though. Just a minor software bug. Crop the images and it'll be fine.

Hi.

My daughter is looking to buy her first DSLR camera for her 12th birthday, I have suggested a K-x, having happily used one (until fairly recently) for many years myself.

Definitely keen to hear from anyone selling a K-x body and ideally with an 18-55mm SMC/ DAL lens too

Cheers
Hey! In the linked thread I have a K-r for sale. It has a few minor niggles but otherwise is in full working order. I'll happily let the camera, accessories and 18-55 go for £100.00 delivered. If you want any further pictures or information, let me know either in one of the threads or by private message.

Would happily let the K-r and twin kit lens (18-55 & 55-300) set go for £200 delivered to a good home.

That would be:

K-r, 2x DLi109 type batteries, 8GB SD with card reader, DA-L 18-55 and 55-300. Great starter kit to get someone into photography!

Full kit: (Manual and software disk are somewhere, I'll have to dig them up. They are with the AA battery holder.)
I'll also throw in an 8GB memory card and card reader with the camera.

Camera has been well looked after:

Lenses are almost like new (very good overall condition), very little sign of wear except on the cap of the 18-55:

Hi all,

Recently gifted my father a new K70 to replace his K-r so a few bits are for sale. They can go as a kit or individually. Photos of all items to follow in a later post as it is early morning at the moment.

DA-L 18-55 £40.00
DA-L 55-300 £120.00
DA 35 2.4 £90.00

Pentax K-r body £80.00 - Camera has 2 faults:
1. The capacitor for the onboard clock does not work. You have to set the date and time after every battery change.
2. The onboard flash does not work, don't know when it failed as it was never really used.
Everything else works as normal and photographs are not affected by these faults.
Will include 2x 3rd party DLi109s, original Pentax charger and AA battery holder (the latter item posted separately as it is currently stored away).

Postage is by Royal Mail Special Delivery and I've included it in the prices. This is so everything is insured and tracked. Because if this, if anyone wants multiple items, I'll knock the price down for each extra item.

+1 I'm with you there, Dan. Producing a range of DSLRs that are all WR, and even cheap WR kit lenses, while not upgrading the existing good lenses to be WR seems totally idiotic to me. I would have thought that these should sell at least as well as the Limiteds do now, and I'm sure there are many of us who are unwilling and/or unable to pay out for, and/or carry, the completely new huge lenses with huge prices, however good they might be.

Yes, especially as the DFA100WR is such an amazing lens. It has image quality, build quality, weather resistance, light weight, small size, and more! If they did that with the HD Limiteds I'd be out there buying them instead of second hand DA Limiteds.

Presumably Dan's post means that Ricoh-Pentax should upgrade existing lenses, including the HD Limiteds, in a similar way that they have already done with the 100 macro, as shown in John's post.

If so, I agree - all Pentax lenses should be WR.
