Excellent camera. Nice balance. Light weight. Had Pentax MX film cameras for years, and can use all my old lenses on this new digital. The picture quality is awsome with great control of exposure. I chose this one for the AA battery capability. No special battery pack to buy, especially looking ahead to future years. Rechargable batteries don't last forever, but I'm sure AAs will be here to stay.
One sad thing I found is that I can't use my Vivitar 283 flash. That's a great unit, but the trigger voltage is too high for the camera.

Quality Tool Removes Crank Without Damage
Don't waste your time on those cheap pullers. I learned the hard way. I stripped out two cranks using those before I bought the CWP-7. On the cheap tools, the thread diameter is substantially smaller than the Park, which means the tool is only gripping half (or less) of the thread. No wonder the threads strip out when you apply pressure to pull the crank off the pedal axle. The Park tool engages the whole thread face so you get a good chance for a successful removal before resorting to heat, hammer, saw and a bit of French.
