What other seller has a K20D cheaper than SRS's price?

I couldn't find one.

Hi,
Well just watched and read this thread so ordered the 55-300mm DA lens from SRS, very good price.
Here is looking forward to receiving it, even though I will have to prise it out of my other half’s hands!

I actually overheard someone at an other retailer complaining that SRS undercut them so much they had to drop the K20D as they could not sell any.

I think it was Park Cameras had the K20D at a good deal. But then they ran out of stock.
Listen to my albums free on BandCamp. Or visit my main website for links to photography, etc.

Haven't used SRS, have used Park Cameras, very good, would recommend them!

Stick to a Pentax Pro dealer and you wont go far wrong!

I am planning on buying a K20D + 18-55mm + 55-300mm as a package from SRS Microsystems. It is not cheap and so would like reasurance that they are trustworthy. BTW do you get free postage from them if you are a member of this forum, or am i confusing it with another?

Thanks for any help

Aldoose
I would chose SRS before any other shop, they are knowledgeable about photograpy also very helpful and 1st class service.

Both Park and SRS had some Pentax refurbished K20D's for under £400.

Park had them on their website but were out of stock within a day or so!

The SRS ones were only offered to members of this forum at a lower price and free P&P and quickly sold out!

I bought one from SRS, it had under 500 shutter actuations since manufacture and was immaculate!

The current "new" price is £519 with £100 cashback "if bought with a (Pentax) lens", so a K20D + 18-55 ends up at £479, which is still a great deal (until the end of January)!
Best regards

Just used SRS for the 1st time on friday.

I placed an order for the Pentax 55-300mm at about lunchtime on Friday quoting my forum username. The lens arrived about 10am saturday morning free P & P (special delivery).

Couldn't ask for better than that.

Excellent service.

Thanks
Jason

I also used SRS for the first time this week, ordered on Wednesday evening, arrived Friday morning. Quoted this forum and got free postage.
The price was competitive and the service polite and swift.

Would recommend.
