I was looking at the SRS advert in the new AP that arrived today. It seems things are rebalancing now.

K7 Body £889
K7 + 18-55mm WR £909

Looks good to me. It especially looks good when you consider the price on an invoice I have in front of me, dated April 2001 and for a Canon ES30E + 28-90mm lens. Would you believe £549.90? And we complain about the price of a K20D?
Best regards, John

Don't forget the cashback as well
For £20 that WR kit lens is a steal, I believe.

They still have the old price up on the website
I wondered how much the double kit would be.

The Z-1 (almost the flagship in its day) I have has a price sticker of £350 and it was from roughly 1985. The inflation price checker says today this equates to £830. Not too far away from the K-7 today.
Lurking is shirking.!

Nice to see the prices coming down, getting closer for the K-7 me thinks.

Mind you I did pay £800 for my *istDS back in december 2004!

The AP advert is incorrect, I am sorry to say. This happens occasionally with magazine adverts! The website prices are the current prices.

I will however honour the £889 K-7 price for the duration of the advert (about 10 days from now). The K-x body is £519 as on the website.

Sorry for the confusion - I will have a rant at the AP tomorrow!

I might take you up on that! I saw the £889 appear on the SRS website very briefly (less than a day?) a while back, and was regretting not jumping when the price went back up.....

I did!

Which is why I'm selling off kit to pay for it!
