No you're not the odd one out as I prefer the colour version too.OK - I'm the odd one out .

One thing I've learnt is shots that look good in colour generally need more contrast when converted to B&W.

I like B&W for this type of shot but here the warm colour & uncomplicated structure (lines & colour) make the colour version the one I prefer.

I assume you mean the firmware updates; if so the answer is no you don't.
Even if it did it's simple to upgrade the firmware & you probably still have the upgrade file on your computer.

He seems almost too enthusiastic but he sure liked the camera.
On the negative side I think the DR is disappointing.

I use Picture Window Pro http://dl-c.com/content/view/47/74/ The price is right, it's very capable but not such a steep learning curve as PS, the support is excellent & you can have a 30 day free trial. It is, however, Windows only.

Thank you Ian, one named this under the word isolate the model. I believe you two mean the same and this was indeed an aspect I didn't thought about but is certainly true."
Indeed we do mean the same thing. My quick scan missed that one.

Often these sellers provide warranty either through their own business or through a third party.
Ask if it has Pentax warranty & if not, who provides it.
