Anybody want my 27000 clicks K10D?

I think the problem has been that as impotantspider has pointed out, the current range of cameras are very cheap for what they are. This has led to Pentax not being taken seriously when compared to other brands. The only trouble is that because of the Pentax lower price policy the K-7 is now being previewed as a direct competitor to the Nikon D5000 and Canon D500 when it is obviously of a much higher specification. The price of £1200 is now being quoted for this comparison which then makes the K-7 look very expensive compared to the two other makes.

When I got my K10D (first DSLR) a upgrade path didnt even enter my head tbh as I thought it would be all I would ever need .. and still do.I agree, the only reservation I had when I decided to get my K20 was the lack of an upgrade path.

Seriously, the K20d will retain it's value, look at what K100 and *istD model's are worth to see how Pentax kit retains value
It amazes me how the K10D retains its value.Seriously, the K20d will retain it's value, look at what K100 and *istD model's are worth to see how Pentax kit retains value
I paid £250 delivered from the USA just over 12 months ago for my used body (must admit that was a pretty good price then because of the £ $ exchange rate) and if I sold it on Ebay today I would probably get that back.

Trouble is that when the K-7 is actually released where do I go to find one that I can hold and try for myself. As Pentax seem to be moving towards a bigger internet presence perhaps they should give their pro dealers a couple of bodies that people can rent for a few days with the option of buying a new one less any rental due.

I have no idea and frankly don't care if Jessops do or dont carry the K-7 but I would like to thank them for the Pentax grip deal, because of that I have a nice chunk towards my K-7.
Anymore bargains like that would be more than welcome before the end of June.

Yes the K20D is now only worth around £100 and then only if it is in mint condition with less than 3000 clicks. If anyone wishes to get rid of theirs before it devalues any more please get in touch straight away.
