I have the 430 and manual focussing is just not worth it! I tried to do some still life (bowl of fruit) and in manual mode and well it was not for me. Nice p&s digital but it aint going to replace any slrs just yet! By the way I might be enabling myself tomorrow with an LX ;-) But I cant find out about the different shutters etc to check. The camera looks mint and has been serviced (prob not by Pentax) He is asking �350 What do you think? Don't know serial number etc yet. (actually the visa might be buying an LX!) Alan
