Now that kinda make me worried that I will miss out.......:-(

$1344 at Digital camera warehouse! used them in the past and found them very good.

I have used DCW in the past. It was getting my second K-01, a black one with a DA 40 XS for $299 + $10 shipping.

I have been buying cameras from DCW for more than 10 years but given they are not supplying a FLU card with the K-3, Camera Pro are more than $200 less expensive. If it were only $100 DCW would get my Business.

Try contacting them they just MIGHT get you that flu for no extra charge.

I agree, all firms are looking for business and will offer deals to get it. Just ask if they'll match the offer.

Did anyone find out if the FLU card being bundled is one that's required for tethering?

Very good point!

My wife asked what I wanted for Xmas.

I told her a K-3.

The good thing about this new camera is, when it arrives I wont have to wait for the battery to charge before I can use it. I can just chuck the battery from the K5 in and away I go.

Anyone want to swap their silver FA43Ltd for my Black MIJ one????

Peter

Ivor, possibly. I have a recent Silver 43 Ltd, but the rest of my gear is black. It's hardly been used, so is in top nick (and still has some warranty on it even). I meant to order black originally...

The free Flucard is an 8gb standard card. I believe the card needed for tethering is going to be a 16gb Pentax branded card.

Clem Kennedy told me a few days ago in an email that all locally supplied K-3 will have a FLU card included "for now"

Oops! Should have read a few more posts before contributing.

If you look up the website :::: Flucard pro :::: they only have the 8gb card for sale (maybe the 16GB is not available as yet) and it appears to be the same as CRK. The one on the website I think is fully functional - can anyone see any functionality missing?

I'm a bit upset personally that i missed out on a silver k3, but i'm absolutely rapt for Pentax that they flew out the door and sold out in a few days!! thats a great sign. It'll only need a few positive reviews - especially regarding the new AF system- and i think this camera will be a huge success. plenty of us have stuck with older models ( k5 and k10 in my case) waiting for a bigger jump in gains, but on paper this one sounds like it might be the one to grab.

DaveXT · 10-24-2013, 03:02 AM

I see Ted's Cameras have the K-3 listed at $1399 with built in wifi, WTF!
