was to pass on the DL to a family member and get a K2000 kit from an authorized dealer for about $500. You may want to sell on the kit lens and flash, giving you the body for $300-$400. Sell on the DL body, and your additonal K2000 cost gets pretty small. Now you have 10MP, better noise handling, SR, and the ability to get that partridge in a pear tree.
My package came with a rebate card good for a total of $150 on the 10-17mm fisheye and the 55-300mm tele. That meant I got those, new, for the used price. If I don't like them, they'll go on the block as well. No harm done.
That assumes, of course, you have the capital in the first place. There I got lucky. Others won't be able to take advantage of this arrangement. And Pentax may have discontinued that (unmarketed) promotion.
In any case, keep shooting!
