Not sure, but I think you might only be eligible for the £80 on the body

Item 3 on the cashback T&Cs (PDF link) says "Camera and lens must be purchased in a single transition." I'm guessing that should say 'transaction'...

If you havent already done so its probably in your interest to buy the k-5/18-55mm kit for the extra £40 cashback. You can always sell the lens if you didnt want to keep it.

Posted mine on the 8th and also got it in today's bank account!

I got my replacement K-5 from SRS yesterday and am off to North Wales for a few days, so I really get to 'field' test it...can't wait.

Happy New Year!

So what do folks reckon will happen when the cashback offer expires?

Price drop by a similar amount?

What did you guys send off as a proof of purchase? Is a copy of the receipt OK?

I would personally say "no", but then that's what happened with the k-7 (see chart here:http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod1136.html). OTOH, the K5 is probably not struggling as much as the K7 did (I know I was disappointed with that...) so your guess is as good as anyone else's.

The fact SRS currently have no stock means to me probably not.
