If you want Pentax installs a new shell with a new grip on your old  
body???




What is the point/benefit?

Looks like there is an indentation on the front by where the IR  
receiver is - is that it?

It's not an indentation, but rather an extension outward of the grip
below the IR sensor.  It's done for people with big hands who need a
deeper grip.  The stock K10/20D grip is absolutely perfect for me, but I
have average-dude hands, and I can imagine people with bigger hands
wishing for a deeper grip.

OK, I get it.  This looks like something Canon could get into - have  
you ever tried to hold the 450D in your hand?  It requires a serious  
clenching of the fingertips to get any sort of grip on it.  Just awful.


Average-dude hands here, too.  K10D fits just great.

Well, it's nice of them to offer the service!
