NEC Camera Show

My experience of the Camera shows is that they do some quite good deals but usually only on the latest equipment - a model that's been around for a while has probably been discounted to a low level anyway.
Having said that - there will probably be a couple of Camera shops and/or chains with stands, these are more likely to have deals. Might be worth checking the exhibitors list to see whether it's worth taking a trip! Last one I went to there was a couple of very busy stands selling a good range of equipment - might have been "CameraWorld"? and LCE sometimes have a presence

Try SRS before you go, chances are you'll get a decent deal, plus I would guess quite a few have been traded in for the K1, so you might get a deal on a used boxed version.

K3ii in srs £699. With full warranty and back up. Not really worth the risk for £24 saving on eBay.
I know what i like, If not always why.

Thank you Reso, i had seen that one on eBay midweek. I messaged them this morning and have bought it for £600. So i am now officially a Pentaxian 😬. Mission now is to find a 55-300 PLM lens cheap. That will be my walk about lens, and later on a 300mm f/4 will be my mach loop lens.

In answer to your original question, I don't recall any special prices on Pentax gear at previous NEC Photography shows, the stand tends to be a shop window for products where you can handle the goods and ask questions. As I recall any offers tend to be on accessories or special editions. Also bear in mind the cost of entry plus parking, unless you want to have a serious look around or attend a presentation then save your money and look for a K3II bargain elsewhere. Having said that I do enjoy it and often come across things I wasn't aware of and there are bargains to be had elsewhere. Previously I have come away with special deals on a magazine subscription, gear insurance, and a Gitzo monopod as well as being tempted by much else. And of course last year a large glossy brochure on the just-launched K1!
