i don't think anyone is that i know of, but why not get the Samsumng GX-10, identical camera except for the RAW format, my sis-in-law just got one from park cameras with the kit lens for £279, bargain, probably about £120 less than the K10D was going for when it was still available. I guess you might still find a K10D if you shopped around but if I was buying now the GX-10 would be my choice. Apart from slightly different buttons and menus its the same as my K10D.

i stand corrected but that is only the body and £25 more than the samsung, i don't know why people don't like the kit lens, it's pretty good.

Because they read that the kitlens of the other brands are rubish so they will asume the same and when you look at the prices it's the cheapest of all of them.i stand corrected but that is only the body and £25 more than the samsung, i don't know why people don't like the kit lens, it's pretty good.
I can't blame them for it, Pentax just is selling his lenses to cheap

My local London Camera Exchange has silver K200Ds at £299 before the cashback - s'pose I could make like an old time pro' and use some black tape! At that price it's very tempting.

Ok - its make your mind up time!
These are the two finalists:
Possibly the last new K10D in the country (demo model) with a mk2 18-55 @ £365
or
K200D + 18-55 Mk2 Lens @ £377. Edit: forgot the £50 cashback. Make that £327.
(posting this in my other K10/K200 thread to capture most opinion)
