Steve, I think you've gone over and above promoting this deal

This man deserves a beer.
I agree - or even 2 beers!

On a personal level that's why I don't see the point of JPG's from a DSLR anyway, but I know others feel differently about this.
I mostly use raw but now and again when I'm playing about with settings I shoot a few jpgs and quite often I'm astounded how good they are.

I have a smartphone, so what is this 'smartphone crowd' you speak of?
It's us Steve - and almost everybody else!

That's a bit like women - for years they used curling tongues on their hair - now they use straighteners!

I'll happily quote what I did to get my K3...

£779 K3 body price
£699 at till with £80 off
Traded well used K5 and WR kit lens (never used) all boxed.
£225 trade in offered unseen. K5 shutter count of just under 19,000, it would be 3 years old this coming May. I thought this pretty fair as it was in a similar offer back in 2012.
£100 extra trade in bonus added to above reducing K3 effective price to £599 as Chris said.
I could also have had a 50mm F1.8 for £50 but I use the one my son has.

I therefore nett paid £374 once I had my card refund of £325. Camera delivered next day by Parcelforce for free. Trade ins collected by Parcelforce same day for free. 2 Year Pro warranty. Delighted!
That's a great deal, and it sounds hassle free too - SRS are hard to beat!

It would take me 20 times as long to edit pics on something like Photoshop or it's ilk
+1 on this from me. The speed really attracts me, as well as the focus on photo development, rather than photo manipulation.
+1 me too! I've tried quite a lot of other software but keep coming back to Lightroom!

par for quality and reliability (but the 16-50 still being worse than) with the Pentax 35mm DA L F2.4,
Whats wrong the 35mm DA L F2.4? Its an excellent lens for the price and quite a simple lens so not much to go wrong I would have thought.

Nice shot!
I'm going to suggest to my other half that we tour Europe like this - wonder what she will say?

mid week bump! is the price too high? or is there no one buying at the moment?
Don't think it's over priced, just think either people haven't got any spare cash at the moment or they are saving up for one of the new Pentax goodies!
