That’s is pretty much my exact kit (though i have the original K-3).

Highly recommend this to others. If you have not tried the newer lens combo here it will be revolutionary when coming from the screw drive technology.

I presumed it was because it came from Amazon warehouse.

To be fair it was advertised as Used - acceptable ... damaged box, small marks on top and rear screen.

Box is certainly damaged (held together with cellophane), the USB lead is missing but there isn't a mark on it and when I took a picture to check the shutter count the file read 00001 and I put it through the usual web page and it read 0 so it hasn't been used.
The Amazon Warehouse option doesn't look to give much information on the product. Doesn't include shot count for example, so quite hard to know exactly what you are buying there.

Following this also…

There have been some discounts on new but not sure how many have been purchased overall and how stocked the second hand market is on this model yet.

suspect you really need that plm ? zoom to get the most out of the new body. The response on that is fast and quiet and would be the perfect pair for better computational af capabilities.

AF issues would be my single biggest peeve with a dslr, and would be the main reason I’d consider mirrorless. The number of times my subject is front or back focussed and has ruined my shot. Eye AF would be especially handy with the sensor seeing the actual lens focus and adjusting instead of needing calibration definitely appeals.

Other than that Pentax has almost never let me down other than the k-30 aperture failure. The k-3 has ample configuration to control the auto features such as preferring a faster shutter speed in Av or TAv modes etc.

Where does it say anything about the missing pieces?
Is it new/zero shutter count etc?

Sorry, haven't used/seen the warehouse deals concept before so probably simple questions there.

Had they put a flippy screen on it .......... ?
Agreed, seems an odd omission given the K-1 industrial mechanism design etc.

Have you tried the hdmi video out ports?

Have not been near this in a while but from memory you could make the image appear on an external monitor, but I'm not sure if the overlay images were also exported too.
