Pentax K-50 Fire Sale: $499

Save $200 on Pentax's weather-sealed DSLR and get free extras

By PF Staff in Deals and Savings on Nov 14, 2013

In order to let the K-50 fall into the hands of more Pentaxians or just about anyone interested in a high-performance DSLR camera at a great price, Adorama is currently offering a $200 savings on the Pentax K-50 DSLR in addition to bundling a host of accessories for free!

A mere $499 will get you the K-50 camera itself, a genuine Pentax Sling Bag, a fast 32Gb memory card, and a 2-year US warranty extension (3 years total US warranty).  The extra accessories are a $100 value.  Want to get a lens too?  Add the 18-55mm WR for $70, or get a double instant rebate on either the DA 50mm F1.8 ($116) or 35mm F2.4 ($146) when bundled with the camera (in place of the accessories).  Just click on the "buy together and save" link after clicking on the banner above.  On top of all this, the camera comes with 4% in rewards that are converted to a gift card you can use for a future purchase.

The Pentax K-50 is the latest upper entry-level / mid-range DSLR from Pentax.  It features weather-sealing, a compact yet easy-to-hold body, 6FPS burst shooting, and a tried-and-tested 16-megapixel sensor, which you can read about in our in-depth K-50 review.  The K-50 currently competes with the Nikon D5200 ($699), Canon T5i ($649), and Canon SL-1 ($549) but beats all 3 in terms of price.  To get a better idea of how the K-50 stacks up against these other cameras, see this three-way review (which includes last year's models from all 3 manufactures).

If you find that the K-50 is right for you, then there's nothing to lose:
