If you add "pixma" to your watch list at the top of the forum, you'll get an e-mail when another deal like this comes out. These deals don't happen often, but fortunately we do see them a couple of times each year.

Thanks! This shot was taken from a rocking boat, through a window. Took a little post-processing.

It would be quite helpful to be able to order Pentax parts directly from Ricoh. Many DIY folks exist in this community partly because the brand is so lightly represented and choices for repair often come down to a few options or DIY. while I suspect you do not have any direct answers to give in this area yet please convey that we would love to be able to order parts and/or find local repairers who could order parts particularly for our out of warranty work.

Photography is about recording light. Learn about light; read how to make best use of natural light, research how to give it a helping hand (reflectors, fill flash etc). Flash is a dirty word to a lot of beginner photographers, but the ability to create, control and manipulate light opens up so many doors. The Strobist blog has some good tutorials. Purchasing a cheap off camera flash had a bigger effect on my photography than any camera/lens upgrade!

If you are a novice like me (regardless of age);
Treat photography like fishing and enjoy the exercise as well as the results.
Read and appreciate the wealth of knowledge and experience available to learn from in the forums and reviews.
Appreciate and use the abilities of the equipment you already have.
DO NOT RELY on winning a Pentax DA 55-300mm lens, look for a Tamron SP60-300mm with a P/KA adapter to play with like I did, it's big and heavy but well worth carrying around on holiday.

Don't buy a camera bag. If you do buy a camera bag, don't take it with you. You can't take pictures if your camera is in a bag. If you have your camera out and ready (comfortable strap, lens cap off, approximate exposure settings) you will take more pictures. Don't worry about your camera taking a beating, it is designed to be tough.
