Hiya bros, actually torn between buying a K100d for 1K+ with warranty or getting a grey set at 800+.
Any guys have problems using the K100d that need repair?
Or any problems when getting Shriro to service the grey sets e.g. dust on sensor?
Thanx.
There is a seller in B&S letting go of his K100D that's quite new. As the distributor for Pentax in Singapore, they are obliged to service any Pentax equipment but if the item is grey or out of warranty, you are liable to pay a fee for any service rendered.Hiya bros, actually torn between buying a K100d for 1K+ with warranty or getting a grey set at 800+.

HoHoHo, thanx for your advice bros.
Actually its cos i saw one grey K100D from B&S section thats why i tot of getting a grey set. But with Comex 2007 in a month's time dunno if i should wait for the deals then...
What say you?
Yes ........ the pics will come out grey ............... :bsmilie:
Seriously, it's all up to you to make the final decision. With electronic gadgets, you will never know when they may suddenly fail you.
Do you want to brave it? :think:
So far my "grey" K100D had no problem
Use with care. it will not give you any problem
I know my gf & night86mare "grey" K100D also no problem. These "grey"s are as Pentax as any K100D you get locally. If you don't use it like K10D (in rain, sand, etc), it'll serve you well. Do check for any possible problem when you buy a used set, just in case lah.
I personally don't like to buy used electronics stuff, lenses still possible, but for like, camera, you have no idea what sort of things the owner has been doing, whether he has been monkeying around with his camera by I don't know, placing it in a steamer and boiling it or something.
Waaaah, so many posts ah. Still I have mailed OP but have got no replies of an e-quote. Anybros got any lobangs out there?
Actually also considering forgoing the kit lenses & getting a 18 - 125 mm?
Hehe...
No need e-quote, just go down and talk to them. Their price is very good already. The kit lens is OK, just get the DA 50-200 and most of your shooting needs should be covered.Waaaah, so many posts ah. Still I have mailed OP but have got no replies of an e-quote. Anybros got any lobangs out there?

Yeps, no problem.
Make sure you must use it fast and furiously when you first get it, so that any problems will surface.. Usually problems appear fast, or take a longgg time to appear, when it comes to electronics, from personal experience.

The best way to avoid trouble if you buy used is to buy from people with good reputations, either from trading or by ear/mouth. I have seen so many complaints from people who got cheated even in B&S because they did not check properly (and sometimes it's unavoidable, you trust the person too much) and unethical people list fungus-ed lenses as condition 10, rofl.
