here is a reply from the pentax service center centre in my country.
"Dear Sir,
There's no Pentax 3 year warranty promotion for the K20D In Singapore. We will honor the International Warranty if you bought your K20D
in the United States with the International Warranty Card provided. And we will not honor the International Warranty if you bought your K20D
from the United States wedsite, although you've got the International Warranty Card .. Thank you."
so far my translation is if bought the camera while there then the international warranty card can used for local servicing. If bought the camera from internet website and shipped to country then the international warranty card is useless.
Also when i enquired if my K20D warranty bought in Jan this year is now 3 years according to
PENTAX News and Press Releases - Official PENTAX Imaging Web Site, they said..
"The K20D still just have a one year manufacturer warranty on it. If you wish to place an order for the Sagemax Extended Warranty, please order this item number: . For all information on it, please click here:
SageMax.
Thank you for shopping with us,
Sincerely,
B&H Photo-Video Customer Service Department. "
