Dave some prices are exorbitant but a few are quite appealing. That K20 with the lens seems very good price at £584.
Seems that they definitely have stocked a lot more than I remember when I used to check their site for Pentax gear

£600 for a AF-540FGZ Flash and £360 for a AF-360FGZ Flash
They are almost twice the SRS prices ... I could understand a difference but that is ridiculous.

Even £329 (let alone £600 which is blatant profiteering) for the 540 is a very substantial proportion of the price of a camera.£600 for a AF-540FGZ Flash and £360 for a AF-360FGZ Flash

How the flashgun can cost more than half the price of a K20D/kit lens combo is beyond me. There aren't even any moving parts other than the switches.
I count my lucky stars to have got the Samsung version (two of them!) at £180 when they were available

If they sold the K7 that would make it about £8000 then...

I didn't say they were cheap!
It just took me by surprise that they hold, or can supply, more Pentax stock than the majority of 'specialist' camera suppliers!

As most is Internet only - they probably have their Warehouse in Hertfordshire and when an order comes through they jump in a taxi down to Watford and buy it from a Pro Dealer!
