A couple things I forgot.
Argos has the K100D Super kit for £270. The major dealers are generally sold out I think.
It's all lots of fun. I've taken 2500 shots in two months, without really trying.

Still hoping that someone wants to upgrade or Chris from SRS comes up with a refurb K10D though
Cheers for the advice on the K100D, it may just come in useful yet.

Which is what I was thinking, the other option being that I buy a K100D Super and spend my cash on lenses, then when the K20D craze starts to bite I would upgrade to a K10D. As a complete novice it's going to take me a while to negotiate my way round the K100D, never mind the K10D.Hyram wrote:

Though it is more likely the prices will come down even further as K200D and K20D prices reduce from their initial high. Bodies are not a good investment; buy them to use them. Now lenses on the other hand...If I was selling a K10D body, I think that I would wait until the new stocks are exhausted, which will not be long, in the hope that secondhand prices will then rise.
Never been one for having the newest kit .. am happy to wait .. a few days

Must be in excellent condition, boxed with all the bits.
Anyone out there looking to upgrade and want to move theirs on to a loving home?
I will only buy from someone here that has serious feedback if they want paying upfront. The other option is that I will accept another high standing member holding the camera and upon receipt to them I will pay and then the camera can be forwarded on.(at my cost of course, provided I can get someone on here to agree to that).
Am living in Spain so postage to here would be appreciated but can arrange a UK address if needbe.
Many thanks.

Have stuck an advert on the sale/wanted section so will see.
Still no reply from SRS.
Still undecided on the K100D super though .. hopefully a nice camera will come along to change my mind

Ok, thanks for the replies so far .. seems the K200D is out as the K10D is more the users choice.
I emailed SRS last night but am still waiting for a reply, the K100D Super seller has come back to me http://www.rgb-tech.co.uk/product/1549 and they have stock. I am still quite tempted by this as I can get the body, a tamron 70-300 and the kit 18-55 lens for a quoted £350. If I find I am getting on well I could then upgrade to the K10D and keep the lenses.
Dunno .....

Thanks for the replies so far.
I notice that you all choose the K10D over the new K200D, can I ask why?
I live in Spain at the moment and due to my remote location and the fact my Spanish is non existent I cannot get any "hands on" experience with the chosen model and will be having the camera posted to a friend in the UK who can then forward it on.
From what I can see the K200 is smaller than the K10 which for me would be ideal as I have fairly small hands.
The other thing is that in my travels I notice a dealer (who I have contacted and am awaiting a reply) that has refurbished K10s and was wondering if anyone has had any dealings with them? - http://www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk/
Thanks again.

Years ago I had a Canon SLR which was stolen and since then I have made do with various digital compacts.
My latest camera (Canon Ixus 430) has given up on me after 3 years and so I am in the market for a new model.
I was about to buy a panasonic FZ18 but decided after a lot of thought that maybe it was time to buy myself a half decent digital SLR and so have, after a LOT of research decided the Pentax was right for me.
Now this is the problem, I have seen the K100D Super for £250 with lens, the K10D kit for around £400 and the new K200D for £430, again with lens.
As a complete novice where these cameras are concerned which in your opinion would be the best bet. The price is not the issue (although I do not want to spend anymore) but I am wondering if the K100D is better to start
with or do I choose one of the other two, and if so which?
The main thing that concerns me is the small megapixel count on the cheaper option and the fact I MAY outgrow it too quickly.
Many thanks.

The free postage is for mainland UK, sadly! I would be more than happy to post to anywhere else and charge just what it costs me for the postage
Chris
Just checking as still undecided about my camera.
