@quicksand :o thanks; I guess I'm loosing it a bit;)
and thanks to the rest of the 'gang' . I feel much better now when I know I'm not the only one, since the supplier claims that there's nothing wrong with the camera.
Do you think I should get a new camera since it's still under warranty?

@UpNorth - thank you so much for your post; I'm relieved to hear that there's someone with exactly the same situtation, only your's id K20, but anyway..it helps. I also used the different lenses, so.. I had sent my camera for repair and they also tested it and of course, never got a black shot. Now I'm trying to get it replaced since it's still under warranty but I'm not sure in success
@Quicksand - thanks, but it doesn't mean a lot even if there are patterns underneath. What am I going to do with that a photo? Anyway, it should not happen..thanks anyway for your support:)

Hi brothers in arms
I'm new on this forum and I'm equally desperate as Saul. I can almost copy/paste Saul's post :(
Ever since I've bought my K10, in April 2008, camera produces black shots in very different light conditions. The lens is open, exposure set correctly, camera metering and everything else works good, but after taking shots, it appears simply solid black. If I keep pressing the shutter button, nothing happens, only black shots. Then I turn the camera of and on and using the same aperture/exposure setting everything's fine, there's a photo on the card.
The black shot file on the card reads 15-16 mb and exif info same as the normal one.
I'm using SanDisk Extreme III 4 gb. When I first took the camera back to service, they updated the firmware and suggested it is a card issue. I got a new card from SanDisk, but the problem persists. I took it back to service again and they claimed that everything's fine with the camera, I just have a bad luck with the cards. If only black shot happens with another card, they said to replace the camera. After shooting the whole summer without any problem, it happened again and yes this time with another card.
Can you PLEASE suggest what is the problem or what to do because the service persists that everything's OK with camera.
