You're welcome :)

Canon makes great gear, no doubt, and I don't think anyone can honestly claim one brand is that much better than another these days. That said, I'm a huge Pentax fan - I've been shooting Pentax digital since 2010, and have nothing but good things to say about the cameras and lenses. They're really very, very good indeed.

I'm sure you'll love the K-S2 (congrats, by the way!). It is capable of stunning results. We have a lot of K-S2 owners here, so you'll be in good company :)

I wouldn't concern yourself. Just enjoy the camera :)

In the grand scheme of things, so far as we can tell, it's a relatively small (though, admittedly, not insignificant) number of cameras that seem to have developed an issue.

We place a lot of importance on our camera bodies, it seems, when the really important part is the lens or lenses. The camera body is just a digital "back" for them, to be used then replaced or upgraded as and when necessary. If one of my camera bodies were to die or develop a fault outside of warranty, I'd be disappointed for sure, but no more than that. I'd feel much worse if one of my better lenses had problems...

Oh dear. That's not great news, Bob...



... but that is!! :D

I was at The Photography Show in Birmingham, yesterday, and I got to handle and try a KP for the first time. It's excellent. Look and feel is superb as is fit and finish, weight is just right, AF seemed fast... I think you're going to love it :)

Sorry to hear that, Bob :( It does indeed sound like the early stages of the aperture block issue.

The K-S2 is such a nice camera that I think the $100 fix is worthwhile. I'd certainly opt for that if I was in your situation. Let us know if and when you take the plunge?
