Good news

I went to C.R.Kennedy to pickup some flash shoe parts. While I was there, I asked when they were getting in the K5ii/s?
And they showed me one (K5iis) which came in today.
They said it might retail for around $1200-$1300 body only.

Now to start saving.

Good stuff. Hope it does well for the retailers.

Digital Camera Warehouse finally has them in stock

Pentax K5II/K5IIs Digital SLR Camera - Digital Camera Warehouse

Local aussie stock and with Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne stores

Pretty cheap too - cheaper than buying from B&H in fact!

Wow! Those are very good prices.

The guy in Sydney told me about 2 weeks they'll have them coming in.
When I rang this afternoon he said they didn't have any pre-orders for the IIs......yet.

some Trivia on pricing:

DCW K-5 IIs body = $1197 .........(You could buy three of them for 3 x $1197 = $3591 )

DCW D800e body = $ 3689

And have a trial version of photoshop on hand.

For me I just remain silent and thank god that my wife cannot tell the difference between my K-7 K-5 and K-30. I just need to ensure that two are never out of the bag at the same time.

The K-5IIs will slot into its roll without detection

Hope he only meant they don't have any pre-orders from Sydney - I pre-ordered one a week ago.

Well, it was just what the guy in Sydney who answered the phone told me that.

They might have one more order by this afternoon.

If any of the stores in the city have stock when I walk there at lunchtime DCW might have one less pre-order.

xhanatos · 11-14-2012, 05:41 PM

As of yesterday, Michael's have one in stock.

Let me know what you find out during your expedition

I'm keen on getting the k5iis.. but only if it matches the DCW price!
