K-5 II available in San Jose at brick-and-mortar?

Kurt Euler · 01-13-2013, 12:57 PM

Can anyone recommend a brick-and-mortar retailer in the San Jose, CA area that would stock the K-5 II? I'd like to try it (in the shop) before buying.

Thanks!

The Fry's electronics at 600 East Hamilton Ave shows as having the K-5 in stock (same camera as the K-5 II basically), so I'd give them a call to confirm and then head down there!

When you go to order your K-5 II, I would recommend B&H, as they have a flexible return policy which lets you return the camera within 30 days if you don't like it.

I would call San Jose Camera - they're at the corner of Hamilton and Winchester. (408) 374-1880

When the K-5 first came out, they didn't have any K-5's. They did have a selection of maybe 15 lenses available in K-mount, though, so they support Pentax a bit and might have a K-5II.
