Adam, not trying to be a pain here but do you know of any cyber monday deals that you can't tell us about?

There will be some, but you'll have to wait and see.

In the mean time, I'm going to see if they can't re-enable online ordering for the IIs. Obviously they don't want to part with too many at the lower price

I'm quite impressed with B&H. Here it is 2 days after Black Friday, and they are still trying to honor the special Black Friday price.

I'm not sure I understand those who come here wondering about the price today - Black Friday was 11/23/12.

krebsy75 · 11-25-2012, 03:47 PM

B&H is an amazing retailer. Normally the best price doesn't come with good service. B&H is in a class of its own.

True - it does seem this year it has all blended together from Friday through Monday at a lot of vendors.

bryankknight · 11-25-2012, 06:29 PM

Good to hear. Thats what they told us as well. He said we could try calling back on Monday to check with the distributer
on an ETA...

this'll be a nice replacement to my k-7..anxiously waiting its arrival...
have fun with it

You can now once again order the K-5 IIs online. The price remains at $1049!

Sadly, I won't be joining your IIs club. My budget was tighter than I thought so I couldn't get an IIs and a 18-135WR which would be $1500 total, so I instead cancelled my order and got the K-5 II with the 18-135WR kit for $1350.

I guess that means some other people will receive their IIs faster.

GreenMachine · 11-26-2012, 01:10 PM

I'm not sold on the whole idea of no low pass filter. In a lot of real world shoots that have nothing to do with camera reviews and pushing the latest and greatest gear, the K5IIs still is unpredictable when it comes to moiré. I just went with a K5II body and the Epson R2880 deal at B&H. My original K5 went to a real estate agent who is a long time friend and wanted a good camera.

If you haven't seen Adorama, they do have the original K5 for around $700
