| Depends on the place. Some internet places offer a low price but don't have the product in stock if you don't buy their expensive warranties and stuff. |

Or it may be "graymarket" and the warranty void in USA.

Sounds like the Ritz ad. I look at it then decided against it when I figured the cost of having to get another whole set of media cards. Apparently the pentax uses SD cards, not CF.

yeah it's the Ritz ad... looks like a good deal to me but I wanted some more experienced opinions.

I had the Quantary 70-300mm (for two days and returned it)... Totally worthless lens, at least for me...Soft and loss of detail on the long end... Opt out of that lens while you have a chance...

not sure if I can opt out, but I can get the Pentax version for an extra $100. besides, it's a freebie.... sort of, so I don't expect much out of it. The lens that is. the camera itself looks great. a little worried about it's durability in light of it's light weight construction though.

| BTW. Ritz was one of the sites I was talking about. I tried them twice and twice they had the product in stock when I ordered. On the second order, I called and even waited 10 minutes for the guy to confirm it was in stock. Sure nuff, a day letter I got the famous email telling me I had to call to confirm my credit card. They tried to sell me more stuff. I said no. Then I was told the item was no longer in stock and I'd have to wait for it to be back in stock. I learned it's better to order from B&H and get a fair deal up front and no delays or games. |
