Buying Pentax K-x Cheap in Australia?

[kwetiaw]

Hi All

I placed my nikon d40 + kits on ebay last night and wanting to get a pentax k-x.

I'm wondering where to get a bargain price for k-x

I checked at
ted's cameras - AU$799.95 (body and lens kit 18-55mm for $799)
camera house - AU$899 (body and 2 lens kit 18-55mm & 50-200mm for $899)

any other suggestion where can I get this cheaper?

A few threads on this issue already with some good leads:

Oz Pentaxian - Pentax K-x (Black/White) with kit lens available at DCW A$739

OZ Pentaxian - Kx now avail at Vanbar and Cameraction

The OfficeWorks 5% price match idea is a good way to go if you don't need the 2 lens kit, once you find a competitive offer from someone else that you can point OfficeWorks to. One Aussie user ended up just paying $717 for a black KX w. kit lens that way.

Ah - I also see Shopbot:

pentax kx - Price Comparison - Buy Cheap in Australia

and Staticice:

pentax kx - Price Comparison Australia - Buy Cheap

are also now showing listings for the Kx.

Hard to beat that price for the K-x.

It seems like the K-x is stealing the limelight from K-7.

Back when the days when K-10D and K100D are still new, the topics are always talking about K10D. How times change

I paid $702 for my k-x at officeworks. Price match and beat Vanbars by 5%.

That must be the best price I have seen so far. Congrats

wow really? that's a good deal. i might come and check out office works tomorrow.
thanks guys for the responses, much appreciated!

hey but after i calculate it again, at vanbar price is 753.50
if office works beat the price by 5% then it comes down to $715.32

how come you can get it as low as $702?

Get them to Pricematch DCW.

Although I've ordered mine direct from DCW, because they have white (shameful I know)
