For a new to DSLRs camera purchase it may be well worth considering, as for yourself only you can make that decision.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!
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.
