$721 with a package of extras (guess around $70-80 of extras). Comes to less than $650 for the body. Worth it or would it be best to hold off till Feb when the mew model will likely be announced?
Pentax K 3 Digital SLR Camera Black Body 24GB Package | eBay Warranty refusal is a scam by manufacturers. Its the same camera, made in the same factory, by the same staff, to the same standards. They claim that money is allocated to regional distributors in order to support warranty service, but why have an international warranty and then announce its no good. Either Pentax made the gear or they didn't. Either it isn't function due to no fault of the user or it isn't. If it's not the users fault, its within the warranty period, and its not counterfeit then they need to service their product. My opinion, yours may vary.
