5815566HiddenPurchased new somewhere around 2004. Used it extensively until 2012 when I accidentally kicked into a lake mouned on a tripod. I recovered the camera from the bottom of the lake but obviously it is no longer functional. No attempts were made to repair it so far. It sits on my shelf full of dried out mud as a reminder of my own stupidity. Has tremendous amount of sentimental value to me.Budapest, Hungary

5816069HiddenMy first DSLR. Loved the small size, bright glass pentaprism view and compatibility with my 20 year old ME-SUPER lenses
Problems: Mini USB connector damaged early on. Autofocus sluggish compared to Canon/Nikon and lately motor getting sticky.
Has always taken great shots (I am the weak link here :0-) ) Over 20,000 images taken. April 2011: About to purchase a K5 with the 18-135 kit if I can find it at a good price.
