Do they? Doesn't say so on the listing.
Looking at it, it does say so on the body only prices but not on the kits
Do I need to quote anything to get the free p&p from SRS? Or just mention the forum?

Looks like fairly strong agreement. for me the K5 would be out of budget, even used. tbh I'm always surprised at how well Pentax bodies hold value - the Kx and Kr are being sold at prices not a million miles away from the K30.
Anyway. I've just emailed SRS to see if they'll match PCworld/currys price of £429 for the K30 and WR 18-55 (in white - may as well be cheeky). These days £20 is worth having - it will get me an aftermarket battery.

I've been thinking for a while about moving from olympus to pentax - I've an old E1 and a 410.
I keep looking at the prices of the used K7's but having seen the price reduction of the K30 I'm sorely tempted.
Which would be the better buy (I'm assuming that the prices are pretty much the same): A used K7 or a new K30?
I guess K30? Should I be raiding the piggy bank?
comments/suggestions/get thee hence foul olympus user comments all welcome

For the current price it is hard to beat a K30.
And don't forget that you can use your old lenses on Pentax as well, with a little bit of work on them (2 min).
As an example I can show you my light-weight mountain-setup for daytime.
Also add a ND4 and a GorillaPod.
