Great price Mike only down side I see is it only has a 6 month warranty I would have thought a years warranty would have been the real deal.The SRS deal looks very good I have a referb k10 from them and love it.

Can find it Ian.... have you a link?
Seems to be a hell of a lot of refurbs kicking about.... plus a lot of faulty cameras will have been repaired and sent back to their owners.
They get more than £400 on ebay so why sell direct?
K10D and two K100D's on the ebay site Link

Probably because not everyone looks at eBay, so by being in several different markets they will get different sorts of customers.

I talked to a guy from pentax who gave me the info they had two k20 copies in on friday as I say I have a referb k10 and it has been fine the only draw back I see with the k20 deal is the 6 month warranty.

Thanks Ian, but I still can't see any cameras.... Do you mean ring them?I talked to a guy from pentax who gave me the info they had two k20 copies in on friday as I say I have a referb k10 and it has been fine the only draw back I see with the k20 deal is the 6 month warranty.

6 months isn't very good on a new camera. Might be better getting a new one from SRS for the extra £100

You do have to ring them Shim to see what stock they have at the time. If SRS do get any more refirbs at the price above plus the 2 year warranty I would go down that route myself.

I still kick myself over that, when SRS got them in Chris said he would let the people who sent him a PM have one in the order he received the PM. I stood down as I was in Spain and because he said they would be getting more so I let someone else have mine and I would get one from the next batch.If SRS do get any more refirbs at the price above plus the 2 year warranty I would go down that route myself.

Of course the next batch never arrived (or Chris forgot to let me know).

The refurb's that SRS had previously were grade A refurbs, unmarked. Apparantly the ones that Pentax are shifting, both on ebay and direct, are not grade A which is why SRS haven't taken any more.

Hi Peter can you explain what you meen by grade A, Im not aware of the term. The guy I talked to from pentax said the cameras were fully checked by there tech staff before being sent out to make sure there were no problems or defects on the cameras. I forgot to mention they also come with a kit lens as well.Mike-P wrote:

I think grade A means no marks on the body.I forgot to mention they also come with a kit lens as well.
Ian
If they are including the MKII kit lens then that is a pretty good deal.
Had they been offering 12 months warranty I think I would probably have one of those.
