BH had the K-7 body today for $869 shipped and Adorama $873. The shipping is moot on a walk in purchase though.

Yeah, instead you get hit with almost 9% sales tax.

In Spain you get hit with VAT on top of that plus it is more expensive so it is still a good deal for Kurgan.

I've been keeping my eye on this thread since my wife gave the OK for a K7 purchase

So I'm contributing what might be the lowest K7 price from a reputable store I've seen so far: Electronics-Expo.com has the K7 body for $840.99 minus a 5% coupon code 'gogreen' for a final price of $798.94. Plus shipping and tax if you're in NJ. The code expires on 4/30.

I hadn't heard of Electronics Expo until I made a recent projector purchase from them, turns out they have a very good rating on ResellerRatings.com and my experience with them was good.

Hadn't heard of them myself, so looked them up - I think you've missed a hyphen. You're right that the reviews look fairly good, though...

I just got home from picking up my K7 here in Canada. Battery is charging as I type this. I payed $1089 from an authorized dealer. (Henry's) I think I only found one place that was a few dollars cheaper local to me, but I know Henry's know their stuff, so I went with them. Shame I wasn't in the USA. With the dollar being at par, it could have saved me a few bucks.

as of today 5/8/2010, k7 at b&h is $848.
in less than 2 weeks the price dropped ~$20
at this rate, it'll be < $800 by early june.

hmmm, maybe by june we'll get wind of new DSLR's? a leak maybe?

sterretje · 05-08-2010, 08:48 AM

You people are soooooo lucky. Prices have not dropped a cent

Positive side: makes that I don't suffer from CBA but only from LBA

It would make me so happy to not have to wait until Photokina for a K7UltraPlus.

Don't forget you can potentially get another 3% or so in Bing cashback from Adorama as well.
