Originally posted by lablabu I too am looking at a new pentax body. My last DSLR was the k30 and I was quite happy with it. It has been a few years since it was stolen, but I'm feeling the urge to reinvest in photography now. This thread has been helpful -- thanks everyone.
well
since you have the required minimum 10 posts this month
you can join the crowd who will be trying to gain a raffle spot
and then perhaps you can be the winner of the K 1 [ or K 1 II ] that may be given out this month
___________________
To recap:
The community must reach 40,000 posts each month
At that point, 4 threads will be created 6 hours apart, and the first 75 posters in each will get a raffle entry
Raffle participants must have at least 10 forum posts in the month of the raffle
The winner is drawn at random, and we will ship a K-1 to the winner
If the community reaches 55,000 by the end of the month, the prize gets upgraded to a K-1 II
____________________________________________
There have been some questions regarding the timing of the raffle threads. The raffle threads will go live approximately 1 full day after we reach 40,000 posts, at the times specified above. There will be a test raffle thread several hours earlier so we can ensure that the system is correctly enforcing the contest rules, and running smoothly.
At the current rate it looks like the raffle will happen on July 29th or 30th.
If at the time the winner is drawn, the post count looks like it will reach 55,000 by the end of the July giveaway period, the prize will be upgraded to a K-1 II. Based on the current average posting rate, this does not appear likely.

" There have been some questions regarding the raffle thread timing- I have answered them in the sticky.
Given the rate of interest, I'm thinking that for August, we will lower the K-1 II post count requirement, while increasing the K-1 requirement in order to narrow the gap and encourage that final push. Also, all of our June and July top posters will automatically be entered in the raffle. "
