k-m at srs

so chris, could you give us an idea when its likely to be on your shelves and what price you think it will drop to after 2 weeks?

Im not interested in buying one, just interested to see that the list price is £50 more than what you have the K200D for.. if you release the k-m at anything over £349, it wont get sold!

Consumer goods like DSLR's never sell at the list (RRP) price. To Compare a published list price for an as yet unavailable camera to the actual selling price of an available camera is like comparing apples to pears, meaningless.

This is certainly true, it will be very interesting to see what the K-m actually comes out at though. If it's cheap enough I might be tempted to replace my ageing DL2 with one as a second body, it would be nice to have SR and 10mp on both cameras.

I can talk about this at last!!

I had a play with a K-m a while back and it was very impressive - very solid feeling and extremely compact. I will be using one myself when they are available - this coupled with some primes will be a lovely lightweight kit. The major selling point, in my view, is the built in Shake Reduction coupled with the small size.

Regarding pricing the 'Retail' price of the K-m with the 18-55L is £399 and the twin kit with the 50-200L is £499. Peter is right, as product is rarely sold at RRP these days - it will certainly be cheaper than the K200D and when I know what we will be selling it for, I will let everyone know. It is about to hit our website on a pre-order basis - usual £20 refundable deposits to secure with first deliveries due in early November.

I will update when I get more information - as ever if anyone has any queries please mail or call!

I forgot to mention - there is a £30 cashback promotion starting as soon as the camera arrives on the shelves.
