If you look it says in a smal box on left about mistakes in advert (report box) I did ask why no prices?
Because it has sold out.

That doesn't sound so good. I can't see who the seller is via 'order history' page with nothing to suggest it's not Play.com you're buying from and I don't remember what was on the original play web-page now

It had the Play.com logo, if there had been any mention of resellers I wouldn't have posted the deal.

Lets wait and see if any arrive before anyone starts accusing Play of allowing scammers to sell on their web site

Your just old fashioned.

Ok?


To be serious for a moment something like a decent liveview on a swivel lcd (Sony) would be great for shots that are impossible to get with the viewfinder such as over a gate or down low on the ground. Also, if it was like the Canon 40D and had a decent 100% hi res zoom for macro I would have bought one months ago.

You have to move on .. as long as the technology is not causing a loss of IQ I really cannot see why they should not include it. A bit like video .. if the camera still takes stills with the same quality with as without then who am I to turn away extra features, even if they are a gimmick.

I have tried "live view" on several cameras, i find it anoying trying to shield the lcd, when we do get sun
From what you have been telling me lately you should be fine 90% of the time then

There was another 20% being taken off if you asked, my lens was 200 to begin with
So 20% off the K20D refurbs?

Yup, looks like they have all gone.
Thank goodness the temptation has now finished again .. it was bad enough with the £100 cashback on the K20D.

Well done to all who bought one, let us know if it arrives ok

My status has moved up to 'packing' which means:

- Payment for your order has been successfully processed.
- Your order is now being prepared for dispatch.

so I guess the offer is genuine and not a mistake

Only placed my order this morning
Nicely done

You are just being greedy wanting 2 lenses
I think when chances like this come along you have to grab then with both hands as it doesn't happen very often.
How often do you get the opportunity to add quality items to you kit at half the usual price while also knowing that you will still make your money back or more should you ever need to sell it.
That 10-17mm would fetch a fair bit more on Ebay if you decided the lens wasn't for you.
Or you could just sell it to me for cost in a few months time when I have a bit more cash ....
