Originally posted by macdaddy50 For those of you who may not know, but the Pentax K-30 is now available on the Best Buy website. I have not been able to locate one in a store yet and from talking w/a salesperson they don't think they will have any. But, that may change if they get enough sales. I noticed this over the weekend and I checked again this morning. It was the first time I had checked and there wasn't the message that said it was out of stock on line. Just an FYI for all those who may want to order thru them. At least, if you had to return it, you wouldn't have to mail it back. Their extended warranty is high at 2 years (I believe) @ $149.95. I know some people don't like to deal w/BB but they are far more accessible than B&H or Adorama usaually located in any town of size. Anyway, just thought you all would want to know. This may change by the time you read this but as of this morning it was good.
$150 for warranty?! Ouch!
I talked to a BB manager from the camera dept. in-store about Pentax, he told me they only carry them online and don't plan on selling them in-store anytime soon... Target and some other local stores are doing the same thing; they carry Pentax online, but not in store.
The big bummer is that with BB, I pay almost 10% sales tax, so $850+85 for body only, and they wouldn't do any sort of price match with Amazon. Only good thing is free financing.
