I can't understand a thing. It's in Chinese.

Sorry I was able to have it on Google translate.

I seem to remember when the K-1 came out there was a very enthusiastic Chinese review on YouTube - consolidating Ricoh's strength in their own corner of the globe looks like good business to me - and if Pentax got to be cool in China it would be very very good business

I suspect the word service refers to "customer service" rather than warranty repair.

Edit: After reading through a little more critically, it does read like they will accept product for repair and provide enhanced post-purchase support. Pity such is not extended to US buyers where it is not clear whether Ricoh Imaging NA actually has a physical location.

It's my understanding that the centers in Japan take walk-in repairs - even if it is just a sensor cleaning. After all there was the blog or online magazine showing a preview of the K-1ii upgrade being done via walk-in to one of the centers. Remember all the comments about the AOC sticker on the prism housing?

Good to know that Ricoh decided to open new centre at Luban Road. The location is famous for camera shops, and presence of Ricoh will show their commitment to Pentax

and photo industry in general.
