Originally posted by volley Pentax in Germany also outsourced the repair business to an independent 3rd party (the same company that does already the repair and service jobs for CANON!). I'll find out about their service level quite soon, I've just shipped my K200 for an estimate after I damaged it - a concrete flooe is still more solid than a Pentax

If Maerz, that's the company name, is as fast and responsive as they were with my repair, than you'll have a long, quite period, without the need for taking photographs with your K200. They lost three faxes from me and always gave the same useless answers on the phone up to the point of being rude.
I really look back to the old Pentax inhouse repair service, which was great. Fast, cheap and the people were knowledgeable and friendly.
