1st DL for $180

Big Dave · 06-24-2009, 08:06 AM

Hi,
I thought that I would pass this on. Best Buy in the good old USA has the Pentax 1st DL body for sale online for $180! This is a factory refurbished item and I do beleive the it has a limited warranty. See link below. Enjoy.

Thats pretty tempting for a back-up that I have no need for. Glad I am not at Best Buy walking by a display with one available to order.

Unbeatable deal - where would you find a P&S with its abilities for the same price?
Now all one needs are some decent lenses to go with it...

Would probably jump on it if I hadn't picked up a K2000 for not much more yesterday.

My father has a bunch of old Pentax lenses he uses with his ME Super and K1000...I bet he'd be interested in this DSLR body.

Most of his lenses have an A setting too, so they'd just be manual focus.

BestBuy appears to be sold out of the *ist DL.

That's a great deal. I bought a refurb *ist DL from Ritz a couple of months back and really enjoyed it. I also had forgotten how nice that 6mp CCD was. However, when Ritz was closing some stores here locally, I bought a K100D Super for around the same price, so I sold the DL. The K100D Super works with my SDM lenses, has SR and still has that sweet CCD. It's a great backup for my K20D.

I think they sold their last few, thanks to this thread!

On the BB page it indicates that the iST DL has "Live View" mode. Is this true?

Meijer.com had new K2000 body's for a little over $200 last week. Deal only lasted a very short time before they sold out. I was fortunate to pick one up and am debating between keeping it or the K100D Super I grabbed for slightly less from Wolf Camera last month (half off their clearance price). One of the two may show up in the marketplace in a couple days

I call "first" if he sells the K2000 or K100 Super for $150!!

Hey, I can dream can't I?
