Hot Deal - Open Box *istD + 18-55 kit lens $263 @ Wolfcamera

Edit - title corrected

Posted by rfortson at FW:
"Wolf Camera online has the Pentax *ist DL with 18-55 kit lens on clearance for $263. If you also buy the Epson R280 printer for $100, you'll get two mail in rebates that total $100, making the printer free. Sell the printer on eBay (currently going for ~$50) and that will make your final cost ~$220 for a nice dSLR kit.

Note that this is the older entry level Pentax, and the last Pentax without in-body shake reduction. Still, it shoots nice shots (has the 6 mp CCD, which is great for low light shots) and accepts all the Pentax lenses, except for the Pentax 17-70. The other new Pentax lenses with the built-in motors will work, but will use the slower motor in the camera body. However, if you're buying those lenses (typically $800 and up), you're probably not the person that's buying the *ist DL. The DL is a great entry/starter camera."

Note, your title says *ist D, which might get some people drooling. This deal (I'm the FW poster, and also posted it here) is for the DL.
