I see the K-5 is listed for $744 at Adorama. I much prefer BH, but I'd gladly help anyone enjoy a K-5. Jack - Original Message - From: P. J.

Re: K5 discontinued at BH Photo for the third time.
Don't sweat it too much, BH was first reported to have listed the K-5 as discontinued sometime in October. Less than 24 hours later they had more in stock and it was recontinued. I expect that they will be made an offer they can't refuse by Pentax on a shipment of K-5 cameras so it will be recontinued at least once more before it disappears from Pentaximmaging.com http://www.pentaximaging.com/dslr/K-5_Black (navigate to choose you camera-Advanced to see it with it's brothers). I say this because Pentax is probably discounting the K-5 much more heavily than the retailers are currently reflecting in their prices. It's a bargain at $750 for the image quality it delivers.

Re: K5 Discontinued at BH
Two days later and the K-5 is back in stock at BH... There are probably enough new K-5 cameras to sell until sometime in January, maybe longer. Pentax/Ricoh USA still lists the K-5 as a current item. The rumors of it's demise are over stated. In fact if my little tongue in cheek diatribe about Pentax announcing a FF camera in January is correct, the K-5 will be a /current/ offering when the K-[whatever], (damn I used to be able to use X as a symbol for the unknown), is about to be released.

It was only a matter of an hour or so between his purchase and the they're out post to PDML. Lowest seller on Amazon, as I type this, is Beach at $894 (body only). That's about the current low price for a Buy It Now from ebay (U.S.) also. If you want to take a chance on a returned one with a 30 day Square Trade warranty, as opposed to the factory 1 year... there are 5 on Amazon Warehouse Deals from $754 to $796. The lower priced ones have minor cosmetic damage. Meanwhile, the 12-bit K-30 body is down to $659 (new by a Seller through Amazon) or $590 through Amazon Warehouse Deals. K-5 ii body is $1199 (preorder price) and the K-5 iis $100 more. -- Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a lengthly search. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
