Originally posted by Samsungian Its a shame Pentax is creating factory refurbs and selling them as brand new instead of refurbed. Buyer beware !
I have no indication that they do, but given the struggles Pentax had with the K5, I would like them to make a clear statement on wether any camera they sell is refurbished or not. I am sure I would have had no problem with keeping my copy if it had been labeled as refurbished (if this had been the case at all). What I don't like is not knowing what I have.
From my point of view the right thing for Pentax to do is to clearly mark any refurbished camera as such and sell it at a discount, even if it is as little as 50 bucks or so. I'd be the first to go for one.
