Hey Darren, keep us updated on the receipt of your Brand New K-5 II and the de-boxing experience. But do look carefully at every piece to ensure you really receive brand new stuff. And check out the Shutter count + manufacturing date + the version # + Pentax -Ricoh or Pentax Hoya model + Body Serial #. You might also check out if the camera is already registered with Pentax? Yes seriously, this was the experience of a Canon Pro Photographer who purchased his FF Canon from a pretty well known Hong Kong stores.
Except that Hong Kong store apologized and replaced the camera right away upon being informed of the situation. I can accept the camera was sent to him in error, and the vendor did the right thing to correct it.
I was shattered when B&H sold me a brand new K20D in early 2009 with a shutter count of over 600 actuations. Regards. Bipin.
