K-01 + 40xs for $500?

kaiserz · 09-21-2012, 05:02 PM

Just wondering. Do you guys think that the K-01 +40xs will dip to the $500 price point? Because if it does I will definitely buy one ASAP.

It's been in the upper $500s which is a great price with lens. The US deals end in October so it's a gamble whether they are renewed or not. If funds were less tight I'd be grabbing one.

Hmm interesting. So there's a big chance that prices will go back up in October.

Only to drop again around Christmas..

No way to tell really. As I recall the K-5 price was lowered via rebate, then allowed to drift up again, then settled lower a couple months later.

Wait until black friday for the best deals when using extra discounts like ebates.

I'm currently looking at this thread right now. We're discussing if the k01 includes the 40xs
