Any K-30 owners buy theirs from Emmy Photo (fulfilled by Amazon)

Hi everyone

any of you proud new K-30 owners buy yours from the selley Emmy Photo on Amazon?

They seem to consistently have the lowest price, often K-30 body only can be had for around $670 whereas everyone else is around $720-ish street price.

Seems too good to be true? Are these grey market items? Are they not covered by US warranty?

I tried to search and only really found this thread, which seemed to indicate that even if i purchased from Emmy, as long as it was through Amazon i was in the clear (if i bought the $20 extended warranty from B&H):

thanks!

I got my K30 from Emmy last month. The camera was new and in the original packaging. My K30 has been performing beautifully.

Got mine from Emmy/Amazon (fulfilled by Amazon) last month and all is well. I contacted Pentax USA and they confirmed that its covered by their 1-year warranty.

I bought my K-30 body through Amazon/Emmy Photo for $609.99 about the lowest price I've seen. I am really happy with it so far. It has so many more features than the K200D. I have to break out the K200D every so often just to remember how good of a camera it still is. I kind of feel like I'm neglecting it now.
