Super cheap K-70 from Amazon Warehouse

Well, I'm afraid I couldn't resist when Amazon posted another K-70 with the same price and condition description. I already have a K-70 stuck in the UK that I can't get to due to Covid-19 travel restrictions, so I guess I will really need another one anyway.

I will let you know how it looks when it turns up.

This is awesome! I hope it works out well for you. Yes, please post your impressions. It looks like KP buyers aren't the only ones who have been getting good deals lately.

I've purchased a few things from Amazon Warehouse and they have all been brand new, never opened items. About a 40% discount.

Just received notification that the K-70 shipped. I'm not a prime member, so relying on the slow free shipping option. Hopefully it ends up being as good as the one Jon.partsch received. I will be sure to post back.

USPS just dropped of the Amazon package. A quick inspection of the camera shows it to be unmarked, just like the one jon.partsch received. It also has the same plastic film protecting the rear LCD screen. A quick shot shows the following from the forum check shutter count page:

Camera PENTAX K-70
Shutter Count 35
Manufacture Date 2020:10:15

A few more shots than the one jon.partsch received but still virtually new. I did notice that most of the accessories were not in the original plastic bags, so this one could possibly be a customer return? I will need to run it through its paces, to confirm there are no hidden problems that may have initiated a return.
