K-5 + k-r pentax 2yr warranty 19.95

KansasHorizons.com · 02-25-2011, 11:13 AM

So this is the same 2 year K series warranty that varies from 9.99 (photoworld) to 29.99 (adorama) on amazon?

If you are talking about B&H (you didn't specify) you can back order it and they'll send it when it comes in. Took a little over two weeks when I did.

Someone has a diagram of the parts in a K5...what are those parts that fell out and where did they come from? It may offer some clue as to the problem.

I'm not for extended warranties, but at $19.95 I might be....I spend that much at lunch most days. I could go a day without eating....but delicious Possum Salad is hard to pass up.......

Possum....The other white meat.....

Best Regards!

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...
You have been connected to Michael C.
Michael C: Thank you for contacting Pentax chat support Jeff , how may I help you?
Jeff Siladi: I just have a simple question about an Extended warranty B&H Photo is selling..
Michael C: sure
Jeff Siladi: My K5 was recently replaced under warranty for the stains on the sensor.
Jeff Siladi: My understanding is, Warranty starts as of replacement date?
Jeff Siladi: In other words, Starts over. Original date of purchase end of october.
Michael C: the Pentax warranty is from the date of purchase, not the replacement date
Michael C: so if it is the Pentax extended warranty, it will not change at all
Jeff Siladi: That clears that up. Can I buy and use the Extended warranty from B&H?
Michael C: it is simply from the date of purchase
Michael C: absolutely
Michael C: I believe they offer the Pentax extended warranty and they might also have there own offerings as well
Jeff Siladi: So if I buy it now, the remaining time on Extended warranty would be 2 years 8 months
Michael C: there is a time limit to purchasing the extended warranty from the date of purchase
Michael C: let me verify this for you, one moment please
Jeff Siladi: Actual delviery date of the camera was Nov 4 2010
Michael C: you should still be able to purchase it, yes sir
Jeff Siladi: For curiosity sake, what is the time limit to purchase an extended warranty?
Michael C: we ask that it be purchased within 90 days of the original purchase date
Michael C: technically, it is ok if it purchased within the first year
Jeff Siladi: Very good as I'm beyond the 90 days no matter how I slice it. Should be good?
Michael C: yes sir, you are all good
Jeff Siladi: Thank you very much for your time.
Michael C: You're welcome Jeff

I just ordered mine. For $20 the peace of mind is well worth it.

By the way, It isn't an electronic delivery. They will be mailing you a card for the warranty. Probably in a huge box.

Here in The Netherlands we get standard 2 year warranty with a camera. Extended warrenty that is on sale in stores can go up to 5 years.

I only bought extended warrenty for my HP photoprinter, since it has some issues related to inkt. I bought 2 years extra warrenty. I could buy the extra warrenty during the first 6 months of ownership as long there was no issue with the printer.

Typically I wouldn't bother with an extended warranty. Often, they are more expensive than the replacement on most things I might buy. We can buy 5 year warranties as well. I figure if I actually Have the K5 for 3 years and have no problems, it was still $20 well spent. If on Nov 1, 2011 the camera shows stains again, the day After the initial 1 year expires, it was $20 VERY well spent. In the United States, companies are only obligated to provide a 1 year warranty. In Canada, it's 2 years.

Well my K-5 (black or regular) is since december 19th in my bag. Currently the shutter says 39.000. So it won't make 3 years and the warrenty for 100.000 actuations will be spend way before those 2 years are over.
