It's this one - £1475 posted

Not sure why JAK is stressing the point when it isn't possible to edit the initial post.

The thread was derailed with questions about the warranty so I needed to clean it up and make it clear that this was the price I was looking at.

Thanks!
The matter of price was nothing to do with me, just the two threads for one camera was confusing.
Questions about warranty matters etc. were hardly derailing your thread. If it had been purchased from a main Pentax dealer rather than Cash Conversions or somewhere it may still have had the balance of a transferable two year warranty with it, a valuable asset. One has to take that into account when making a purchase on a high value camera. You could have saved a lot of hassle just pointing to it in a Leads to Deals thread and not getting involved yourself (unless you wanted the camera in the first place which it doesn't read as if you actually did.) I didn't pay much more for mine brand new.

Yes, one camera, two threads.

Certainly go and have a look but the KP seems more of an enhancement to the K-70 line than a K-3 upgrade. Depending on your preferences you might find the KP a downgrade but only the person purchasing can ultimately decide that. You may prefer it! Its release hasn't exactly set the PU forum on fire with 'must get one' as has happened with other new models. Though perhaps its a sleeper yet to shine.
For a new to DSLRs camera purchase it may be well worth considering, as for yourself only you can make that decision.

I note the OP has his K20 outfit up for sale so I presume he doesn't require spare batteries for it now. Is that a fair assumption before I start chasing around courier companies? If not I need to know where the delivery will have to be made without making myself seem daft when I phone them! It may be 200 miles south but that could be thousands of places.

RM rues regarding posting batteries, including D, C, 9V, AA, AAA and AAAA alkaline batteries. Must be new and sent unopened in their original retail packaging. Surround with cushioning material e.g. bubble wrap. The sender’s name and return address must be clearly visible on the outer packaging. Lithium metal/alloy batteries sent in isolation are prohibited.
So SRS can send you a new ones (though not Lithium metal/alloy) but you can't send them used ones back!

7 Day shop say they can only ship batteries using DPD, I'll look into that but my nearest DPD depot is nearly 50 miles away!

Edit: Not sure that they will without a commercial account.

How many are you selling?

Well I'm still none the wiser of your location so not to worry, seems I can't help you.
I'll put the chargers on eBay and chuck the batteries even though they are fine. Such a shame and thank you the RM for helping the environment by causing expensive lithium batteries going to waste by not transporting them to a new UK (possibly, who knows!) owner.

I've actually still got three, one a Samsung original that came with a GX20 and two third party ones that I no longer need. Unfortunately PO rules make it difficult to post them on their own. You haven't stated your location in your profile so I've no idea whether a collect/deliver in person might be viable.

I've also an original Samsung charger to move on along with a third party one that works with a 12v car lead (I've dumped the mains charger that came with that as I wasn't sure it was safe to use!)

In any event offers invited for any of those bearing in mind PO rules for posting Li-ion batteries. I mainly would wish to cover expenses.

You definitely need a 645z for this!

If I were you I'd take two cameras in case one fails. And while you have two cameras have a wide angle angle on one for group shots and a medium zoom for close ups / telephoto shots with the other to avoid messing around changing lenses. If you have any limited lenses, use them!
Also write out a list of must have shots as an aide mémoire in case you overlook something you might regret missing later.
