I'll go Paul one better. Tell Pentax it is a known flaw in the D and
they should foot all or most of the bill for repair.

The only known flaw that I'm aware of is that they act flaky when the
voltage gets low, and they don't like it when the batteries in the grip
are not matched well with those in the body. But I believe Dave's
problems go well beyond that. I've owned two D cameras, still have one,
and the
My brother had the flash circuit problem.
Pentax repaired it out of warranty for free.
You might be lucky as well.

I thought for a moment it was some catastrophic disaster that strikes them.
I'm using energiser NiNH at the moment 2300mah (came free with a 15 minute

Hey, if you're interested, I'll sell you my *istD outfit for US$600. Of

Sorry John, but Erin does not like the istD so i wanted to sell it and
get her a PS, but there is issues, which apparently Pentas agrees
with and sent me a repair estimate. I don;t want a papaer weight, but
if i can sell it as a proper woprking camera, thats great. Just not
sure if its
I'm pretty sure that you would be able to get about the repair price
for that body on the used market. Whether it's worth your time to do
so is up to you.

Hmmm, close call. I would try to make a deal with Pentax. Tell them
you think they should do it for $250, since the camera's value is
barely that.
