K20D Cheap at Dixons

Strange that on a Google search Dixons once the UK's main camera shop never comes up? They seem to be about the cheapest for the K20D at the moment £567.63 inc. delivery.... SRS are £619 = £51.37 dearer and Dixons claim to have stock. Check if it's the mkII kit lens if anyone buys one.

The links too messy (contains session details etc. the web designer should be sacked, maybe that's why Google don't bother) so here's the site. Look under Photo and Camcorders.

In the past I've bought a ME Super, MX and MEF from Dixons. The prices were all good at the time.

srs comes with a two year warranty and i expect if they see dixons price they will match it or beat it.

Note that the Dixons listing makes no mention of a lens...

Thats right Scott, you can buy the Dixons 3year "cover plan" for only £159.
I don't think so

It does..... and Currys are now listing it at the same price and you can buy and collect or free del.

So it does! Missed that bit.

Nice to see they've got an extra 7 fps out of it too.

Yikes, Chris said a small price rise was expected on the K20D but at £619 for the kit that is a £50 jump on a few days ago.
That means the camera was £150 cheaper less than a week ago (with cashback).

A month or two ago it was £539.99 with a MKI kit lens less the £100 cashback.

Don't forget Dixons = Currys!

Interesting that Currys are offering the K-m with a free 50-200 whereas Dixons are not.

I think Dixons are purely mail order now, their old shops are now Currys Digital.

Either Currys have slipped up or Pentax have done them a very good deal to get the cameras in the shops with the £50 off as well they should have no trouble selling them..... except the one's I saw in Currys didn't indicate that you got two lenses.

Thats right Mike, my Sigma ring flash was £249 when i bought it last week, now £289, £40 rise

Strange that, I have only ever seen Sony cameras in my local Dixons, and the staff are far from helpful.

I have always believed that if you're going to buy a camera, then you buy from a specialist shop, and not from a "general store", as a rule once Dixons have sold an item, should you have a problem with it,then they don't want to know.
My friend purchased a Chinnon SLR from Dixons some years ago, and after 4 faulty replacement cameras, he demanded and got his money back,eventually, but only after a lot of fuss from Dixons!
