Best price comparison/tracking site (which manages to omit SRS) :

pricespy-Pentax_K-3

this also shows history of price movements.
[click on Shops if history comes up first]

K-3 price has reduced, but (Pentax) Sigma 150-500 has just gone up £100 at SRS!

Thanks for the encouragement.
I picked out a photo, then found I had to load it up off-site.
Don't think I'll manage it this week, but I'll be back!

Sorry if it is staring me in the face, but where is this competition?

You get better prices on ebay if you sell something with its original box.

P.S. A lot of ebayers in a hurry mix up their pictures/categories - you'd be surprised at the variety of non-Elvis stuff listed under "Elvis!"

Just received mine from these people.
Stock is held in Nottingham UK,so no Customs worries, still took 4 days to arrive. Price inc P&P, 18 - 55mm lens and 2Gb SD card was £506.94. I believe this to be a US version as it came with a US plug on the charger lead and an adapter to 13A UK plug and an international warranty. I was worried in case it was a refurb, but looks new to me and is advertised as new.

When you say "adaptor" do you mean transformer or just plug adaptor? If the latter, with the different voltage (US 110v), it probably won't do the batteries much good!

March Practical Photography rates both (camera + lens) equally, but shades the GX-10 as being £100 cheaper (kit).

Samsung manual (see www.samsungcamera.co.uk ) states several times that Pentax accessories are compatible - battery grip? flashes?

But are any GX-10s actually in the shops yet?

I wasn't looking for the FD, but it came with the camera. I therefore ran a test film through using all the combos of date, time & blank. Nothing has appeared on the film.
Probably the FD's battery is on its way out, though the window display is OK.
Can anyone confirm that the imprint will fail before the display?
