IS this thread still alive... holy Toledo...
I still can't find one for less than 799 Canadian with the 18-50 and 50-200. That's too much for a second tier camera. I'd still probably buy another K-3 first.
I'd like $599 Canadian, with the two lenses, the 50-200 would be a christmas present of the daughter in law, to go with the K-x gave her, and, the `18-50 would go with my K-01. It's collapsing feature makes it the perfect pocket lens for my pocket camera. And the camera will be our macro camera, with that tilting screen used for low angle macro images. I've got plans for everything, just not the money.
If I was living in the US and I could get it for $799 with my US dollars, I'd be so laughing. Funny how when the currency loses 20 % of it's value, no one gives you a raise to make up the difference.
