Well, it took a month and a half, but the Pentax people honored my warranty and gave me a new camera. I had heard they often claim the damage was beyond the normal use, so I wasn't sure how it would go. I'm a happy camper, because they gave me a new unit that may have been a return, but looks brand new. It also came with all the gear, so I have second battery and charger free of charge, pardon my pun. I was never happy with the pictures I had been getting with my old unit, but the 4 practice pics I took with the new one are better than anything I'd gotten with the old. I've had it for a few weeks now, but have been so out habit of using it, I never remembered to take it with me kayaking. Hopefully, I'll find something camera worthy soon; my website has been rather stale lately and since I won't be making TAKS this year, I'm going to be missing a big chunk of my photo opportunities on the year. I'll look forward to broadening my horizons. Just thought I should give some credit where credit was due with the Pentax warranty.
