More K10D bad luck (Stupidity?)

[Paul Stenquist]

I'm sure Pentax can fix that screen quickly and probably without much  
cost. But I wasn't talking about camera coverings. I've never used  
one on any camera. They just get in the way. I was talking about  
bags. Quality bags that are designed for transporting cameras can  
protect the equipment quite well.
