Deduct £ 100 for the card, £100 for the lens...and that's one very cheap camera.
Only if you want the card and/or the lens

Black only; I ordered one too!

As to the Flucard, it should come as part of the redemption offer.

Seems to be designed for use with an app - phone or tablet - but....

Given that with this on a pole, etc, you won't be able to see what you're shooting anyway, why not just switch it on in video mode then pull individual frames off the video in post?

Or, if remote control is essential, maybe a Garmin Virb or Virb Elite?

Seems you need Safari or Chrome as your browser, and the Pentax branded FluCard, and you'll get;.

•16GB Class 10 SDHC card
•802.11n Wi-Fi transmitter
•WEP & WPA security
•11 possible channels
•Up to 5 concurrent connections
•7.5m / 24 ft (7.3m) recommended range
•Connection via web browser (Safari or Chrome); no software or app to install
•Remote live view with 10x zoom to the AF point
•Tap-to-select and activate AF point (in live view with CDAF)
•Remote shutter release (single frame)
•Adjust shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and exp. comp (based on shooting mode)
•Pentax 'green button' hyper program
•Full-size JPEG transfers to connected devices
•Live updates to image catalogue as shots are taken
•Save in Raw & JPEG to one or two SD cards
•Image browsing & download of any JPEG on the card

Unfortunately I don't have a K3/Pentax Flucard, so can't help further.

Definitely 4pm UK time. Thanks for the heads up.

£639 at SRS; £599 after cashback, so I guess it's a gamble on a 1 year Amazon warranty vs. 2 year with SRS.

Any more info please? Has the flash ever worked?

Also, number of actuations, length of remaining warranty, etc.?

I can't help but feel that your new price is an over correction? £399 at SRS.

I use the Toshiba FlashAir SD card with no problems, BUT...

...no wireless card other then the Pentax Flucard uses the in-built camera functions.
