Pentax Imaging: PENTAX K-5 BODY KIT BLACK (14622)

Taking pre-orders and listing it for $811.99 -- which is the same price they have listed for the K-r body only.

You may want to check the resellerratings for that outfit. You probably won't get what you pay for, at best.

My ANTOnline order is still "processing," btw. No refund issued yet via PayPal. :P

Alright. For those who ordered via eBay, Buy.com, Amazon, whatever...

In the super tiny small chance that your orders do go through and the item ships, how many of you are actually going to use this as a 2nd body versus flipping it on either the marketplace, ebay, or craigslist?

Same here. I'm still holding out a little bit of hope.

Well I was going to keep it as I mostly do video work and has a mic in very useful ... ow well ...
and they sent sent me another shady email when I emailed back in the past when buy.com mislabeled a price that they honored my order. Said they could not charge my card even if the price was wrong ... due to google checkout info being wrong.

If this is so why is there a charge on my card ...
Ow well google checkout will let me leave a bad review for there shadiness in a few days after I hopefully get credited back.

Seems like they will make any excuse now not to lose $.

There was a similar deal on eBay UK in August, K7 body only for 300 pounds or so. That was honoured.

Ha- if only I wasn't fairly sure that place is run by a gang of criminals I'd order one right now.

I ordered from both Amazon (Electronica Direct) and eBay to cover my bases

I just got a tracking # from Electronica Direct....the camera should be delivered today so I'll post an update here when my wife gets the package and I can verify there's actually a K-7 in the box

**dcmsox2004** · 10-20-2010, 07:19 AM

if anyone ordered from amazon, to be fulfilled by unbeatablesale.com, they MAY actually have inventory in their warehouse, because they told me they actually checked while i was on hold... i should be receiving a confirmation today.... we shall see..
the antonline was bogus from the get-go...... keep hope alive... dave m

suliabryon · 10-20-2010, 08:03 AM

Sadly, I missed the whole amazon thing. But my order from Buy.com is still "processing". No e-mail as yet canceling it, and the amount has debited from my account. I'm still holding out some hope.
