Phox don't seem to sell online - so you would need to visit France to buy one - which puts the price up, even from Kent.
Presuming its a Pentax cash back thing I would say it would be through the majority of Europe like the last couple.

Don't think they would do anything for a month or two though.

wait for December.
Christmas sales, cashback offers and lens bundles should see some kind of good deals from retailers that have them in stock......
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

It may be Europe wide, it may not, but the prices quoted were for France, and prices vary tremendously across Europe.
Cash-backs in the past haven't been Europe wide - until the K7 they were limited to the UK. And the US of course.

Don I would love to hang on until Christmas (indeed the way things are going I might have to hang on until then :roll but I don't have a camera at the moment and am getting increasingly fed up about that. I could wait and see if they come up with something, but who knows? The prices could even go up again given the state of the yen and the dollar at the moment.

I take back what I said the other day about hardly anyone moaning about the K-5



Only joking Gwyn ... looks like you may have it sooner than you thought.

I was going to wait until there had been a few user reviews published – but having all the patience of a boiling kettle I place an order with Chris for a K-5 body about an hour ago. So I hope there is room for one more on the allocation.

And replied .


Now to sit and wait for the postman. Saturday would be miraculous, but hopefully on Monday. At least they still deliver parcels on Monday.
