Anyone got an idea what these are going for at present? ebay prices seem to be all over the place and SRS dont have any in to compare with, other that a GP K10.

I'm undecided if I should ditch the K10/20 combo and buy a K5, just for the lighter load of course, at least thats what the wife thinks

Both in excelent condition K20 currently has a grip on it but I could always sell that with either body or even seperately, everything is boxed with original leads/software etc and have a spare (third party) battery.

Please note this is not yet an offer to sell and I'm just weighing up the options, besides I need them for the Goth meet at the end of the month

eBay is the place to look to see the actual prices, although very few people are selling K10D and K20D cameras, which is probably worth noting.

They are very good cameras.

In the Netherlands there are a few K10Ds for sale with asking prices between 220 and 250 GBP.
K20Ds seem to go for 350-400 GBP here, sometimes a little more.

Current UK K10's are in the region of £150- 180, (6-8k acctuations), K20's a few bob more. Far less than they are really worth! Not sure I agree with the Riley as, if you look a bit further there are many for sale.

Oooer!

Those have come down with a bump in the last few months, Its not that long ago there were K10D's advertised on this forum for £275-£300 (or has time passed that quickly:blush

Where did you get those prices Paul?

Looks like they will be advertised to Netherlands members only

If it ever comes out - November now. Typical of Pentax I'm afraid. Even in the US, where Amazon.com had a few which went out, they now say that it has not yet been released. Which kind of implies those that were sold by them were pre-production models they got their hands on somehow.
Frustration creeping in here . Even the compact I want hasn't been released yet.

Honestly FS in your situation I'd hang on a bit and see what happens. You have two great cameras, which you like. You may not like the feel of the K5. Have you tried a K7 before?

My K10&20 are both OK at ISO 800, especially with a bit of PP with NR software, but anything above 800 while perfectly acceptable for some is not good enough for me, I would like to use the Bigma at f8 or even f11 occasionally and the K5's high ISO performance looks like it could just do the job.

You really need a K20D to put you on Gwyn, I hear there quite reasonable if you buy from the UK

Battery grip for Nikon D7000 (which should be out at the same time as K-5) ... £350.

Pentax K-1 + K-5 and some other stuff
