Pentax K-70 for £160 with Amazon Prime Student
I oud not get the discount to apply.
You need to add the item to the basket and then start the checkout process. It appears after the address and just before the payment section.
It was also working on KP and K-1ii but the K-1ii has been corrected. Obviously an Amazon error so chance they will rescind the deal but worth a punt.

Oh cripes that's tempting...
Too late. Looks like Amazon have twigged and have pulled the plug on it.
On a positive note, the K-70 I got off eBay isn't a bad deal considering the best price new is £395, and that's only for another week or so.
It went up on HotUKdeals and was shot down pretty quickly after :/

The £395 is until December 31st on SRS
Did anyone get one?
Oh dear, after getting excited about my forthcoming delivery of my K-70 I got emailed yesterday to say that Amazon have cancelled the order.
Did anyone get one?
Only an email.

Now extended to 12th Jan with code PENTAXK70 - might just get one at that price!

"Struggling to resist" a K-70 from SRS at that price as the K-30/"K-50" is "getting on a bit" (bought Nov 2013) , and has a broken battery-retainer latch in the battery compartment.
Give me a few reasons why I SHOULD or SHOULD NOT buy the K-70?

Go on you know you should - I was in the same quandary before Christmas but yielded to the temptation and bought a K-70 from SRS. No reason not too as my last new Pentax a K-30 was 6 years old and had cost me almost as much. I've only taken a handful of photos so far using an old DA 50-200 ED. The results are impressive (to my eyes). I'm easily able to extract better resolution and the focusing is faster.

For some reason they're stacking the £200 promo twice, like they did with the KP cameras a while back. Figured it out right after committing to buy a K-70 off eBay to replace my brother's K-S2. The seller wouldn't cancel so that'll be on the classifieds soon...
The promo stack on the KP brings it to £539.
The K1ii for £1399 (and extra 20% off for Student account).
