How do I get the coupon and I still haven't seen where this could be bought for 460. I would like to know very interested in purchasing...

hinman · 12-17-2009, 08:42 PM

Darn, I feel like a fool, I should have waited a bit longer. You all can see the month long experience I have on the K-x white. I shared it with my buddies in photo.net first:

Thanks,
Hin

Amazon is so cool they credited me back the difference+$1

**dcmsox2004** · 12-18-2009, 12:47 PM

just got the black k-x with kit lens (which i'll sell) from b+h for 549.99 delivered... plus with bing, will get 2-3% back....
why no white for me... well, my wife would note the new toy and brain me.... i figured that a black k-x would not rouse her suspicions and ire..... spent a bit more, but stealth was key....

jotarou1 · 12-18-2009, 06:55 PM

in and out of stock

**hyyz** · 12-21-2009, 09:51 AM

See this link (now it is $465, $5 jump):

Amazon - Pentax K-x 12.4 MP Digital SLR with 2.7-inch LCD and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Lens (White)

JETninja · 12-21-2009, 10:51 AM

I could be wrong, but that Kit 55-300mm is not the same as the very good 55-300mm, at least the model numbers are different. (I was checking out deals on ebay then looked at the lens and bailed..) If someone knows different I'd love to know.

photapioca · 12-21-2009, 11:15 AM

There are threads about this.

The L lens:
plastic mounting
Light
No hood

The DA lens:
metal mount
Hood
Heavy

I was wavering on this purchase, but had my mouse over the 'complete order' button and inadvertantly clicked it. That's what happens!

Sweet, thanks. Then it's like my Son's White K2000 Kit vs my K200 kit. And if you really think the DA lenses are heavy, you've not been in Photography that long! LOL! I find the DA's to be featherweights compared to the old Glass I have....but I still use it.

Thanks for the clarification!

Dragonfly....LOL!
