As pointed out, that's an import price. £687 + VAT is over £800 on it's own, plus you are going to have to add handling charge and import duty, and get a 1yr International Warranty which could be fun if you need to use it.
Makes SRS a bargain at £775 with a 2YR UK warranty.
Ain't found one cheaper anywhere.

Hi Danny
I hadnt looked into that far. But cheers, The warranty is certainly the most important part.

what i dont understand is that on the pentax site it states it has 126 seals,
but in the write up it states 77 seals,
so does it mean the battery grip has 49 seals.

The 3 year warranty from Camerabox will be their own and not Pentax backed .. would you put money on them being around in a few years time?
is that right that you get 3 delivery then.

You mean free delivery from SRS ?
Yup - give them your Forum name - no problem
And they really do keep you in contact if there is a delay - I was phoned to inform me that Parcel Force had let them down so my delivery would be 48 hours later since we were into the weekend.
Brilliant service from them

When I first bought my K10D 2 years ago I was told on this forum it is always best to buy good lenses rather than keep changing the body. Unfortunately I seem to have taken this to heart and keep spending my money on lenses even though the K10D is now past it.mike p is see your using a k10d still is there any reason as to why you have not upgraded as by the red tapped door on your k10 sounds like it seen better days.
I think I need help actually ..........
