Originally posted by Jesus I keep hearing about such prices .
Has anyone found this at a good camera shop via the net?
I am hoping some here is better than me with searches or have already done the investigating search .

I got one new with kit lens and 2gb memory card for $586 in early December, from Beach Camera. (That price was after rebate.)
Now that the rebates are over, and stocks of the K10D are dwindling... I can't find the body for <$600 from a reputable place. Penn Camera has it for that price. They are very reputable, they have retail stores in the DC area. Abe's of Maine has it for $720 with kit lens + 1gb card. I've done the search myself, pretty thoroughly, and don't think there is any possibility you will get the body for <$600.
Jesus,
if a price seems too good to be true... it is. Check
every vendor at ResellerRatings.com. I myself was tempted to order from Broadway, Millenium, Preferred Camera, or one of the other shady scam places, but fortunately got the good advice to stay away.
Or buy used... my local craigslist has had a couple lightly used K10Ds recently at decent prices, $600-700 for the full kit.
