I am not mad at the problems as it is likely my peculiar case of frequent SD card changes. But I for one wants Pentax to address this as a potential issue that also may apply to other users. I don't think I mind the cosmetics wear as that is expected<br /><br />@Ray, thanks for the sharing and visit<br /><br />@Peter, I sent it to CRIS on 8/31 and so far nothing is notified to my side<br /><br />@Will, I am loyal to Pentax but I won't have the cash and guts to get the K5 unless RiceHigh give it a thumbs up which is next to impossible<br /><br />@Zhou, you have an odd problem as you have noted. It may just be normal. If I were you, I will venture out to another K-x user who lives close by and have a meet up to try the shutter release and ask your buddy to check on it. I sometime find it a problem in not returning to original position but it is just the design of the loose spring in action on the shutter, it is not a big problem I think.<br /><br />@Sergio, I have blown air a couple of times with a large red blower. My dead K-x was sent already to CRISHin Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11542007867767875530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-383873656725235782010-09-08T08:07:11.553-07:002010-09-08T08:07:11.553-07:00Damn...

Or maybe just try and clean the slot with a blower? Does the camera still function without the memory card, or does it say memory card error all the time?Sérgio Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818053166255295293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-16980944330795238592010-09-03T00:40:34.931-07:002010-09-03T00:40:34.931-07:00Sorry for your problem.

It starts to be a bit sticky. When the button does not return, I would not be able to view photos. While the problem is as fatal as yours, I may have to send in for service soon.Zhou Yuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193025830546225700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-8491910803015177322010-09-02T11:50:36.417-07:002010-09-02T11:50:36.417-07:00Sorry to hear this Hin, as i've been following...Sorry to hear this Hin, as i've been following your K-x posts with great interest. I hope they get it fixed soon. I'm extremely lucky in that none of my digital cameras have ever broken down (touch wood) and my K200D looks as good as new despite getting a lot of hammer. My istDL2 got abused terribly, including leaving it outside overnight once, but never kipped a beat. I guess as cameras get more advanced, there's more that can go wrong :(<br /><br />Was always on the fence about the K-x chrome strip. The K-m olive had an orange strip which looked fantastic, but unfortunately this isn't available with the K-x.<br /><br />Unfortunate this happened just as the K-5 is about to be released... I hope you won't be tempted to upgrade while you're waiting to get the K-x back!willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11523354895848253129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-21614663159253872942010-09-02T05:43:42.632-07:002010-09-02T05:43:42.632-07:00If you're extremely lucky and Ned reads your b...If you're extremely lucky and Ned reads your blog just maybe pentax will send you the "replacement", only if this was the perfect world according to Pentax.Peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-44192529669791622352010-09-02T04:16:37.497-07:002010-09-02T04:16:37.497-07:00@RiceHigh:

I've hit 20,000 actuations and it just keeps going.<br /><br />Little cosmetics don't mean much to me because what matters is that the K-x continues to take solid pictures. <br /><br />It's unfortunate that you're having this weird Memory Card Error Hin.Ray Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392252294367557110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-73296449248850755792010-09-02T02:02:31.954-07:002010-09-02T02:02:31.954-07:00Hin, you're not alone.

The durability of those Pentax bodies is really in question, as I reported before:<br /><br />http://ricehigh.blogspot.com/2010/01/200-colours-of-pentax-k-x.html<br /><br />The first (black) K-x for doing my K-x review actually suffered exactly the same problem - the silver painting went away quickly.<br /><br />Now, my Blue K-x suffer from another "cosmetic" (but actually *quality*) issue. The shiny blue coating on the RTF starts to get off!?<br /><br />I shall bring my unit to my local Pentax service centre for rectification without any hesitation, as it is undoubtedly not my fault since I always take great care with any of my gear. And, I shall write more about my case with photos when I have the time.RiceHighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174156471696420785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-76644378247315539872010-09-01T10:34:19.465-07:002010-09-01T10:34:19.465-07:00@Yael, thanks for the visit and encouragement.

I won't buy the new thing after K7 unless someone can review it right the way with no-nonsense type of photographer review<br /><br />@Annoymous, yes, I hope to get it back in another month. In the mean time, I can enjoy my K20D and film cameras<br /><br />@fRANK, I don't expect anything that CRIS will do anything on the broken chrome line. But I never stop dreaming that I will have a new chrome line and RED color SR label. <br /><br />Much thanks for all of your thoughts and well wishes.Hin Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11542007867767875530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-63133135380922236972010-08-31T20:19:51.687-07:002010-08-31T20:19:51.687-07:00wow Hin, sorry to hear about your camera.
