Hi all, just a short one to let you know that I'm still alive.
I have just ordered a K-r. Not for myself but for MIchael who had been using my K10D since I got the K-7. Unfortunately the K10D has developed an electronics problem and after the OK button stopped working months ago (Pentax quoted a repair price of well over 300 euros), today it's been the turn of the 4-way ring around it. No more changing of exposure modes, sensitivity etc. We shortly considered buying another K10D from ebay but at the current rate of 200+ euros - and the risk of having an out-of-warranty camera that might fail within a short time as well - I eventually suggested we'd better get him a new K-r and have some peace of mind for the next two years. He had been interested in something capable of doing video as well so it didn't take much to get him to agree on spending a little more than initially intended. And he'll certainly enjoy the faster focus. He usually does "drive-by-shootings" of street signs when we're travelling. He actually has thousands of photos of street signs. Strange subject, you say? Well, he's one of those geeks inputting tracks and street names into the Open Street Maps project. :-) Ralf -- Ralf R.
