Thank you

Interesting thanks...was not aware the extended warranty was optional. I was thinking of this thread and overlooked that it was a promo that the warranty was free for all K-series bodies purchased through the end of July 2009:

I emailed as I did not receive a card in my box. I also went ahead and blew $3.99 on an genuine extended Pentax Warranty here just in case:

Amazon.com: Pentax Two Years Extended Warranty for K Series Digital SLR Cameras: Electronics (2-yr Extended Warranty $3.99 total)

No need to spend $40 on one.

Thanks for the info...I had just assumed (apparently incorrectly) the warranty was 3-yrs...
