Don't know if this has been posted already but seems to be the lowest price I have seen for a NEW camera.

Looks like an auction, so Adorama's $696 + 4% rewards deal is probably better.

Also, it seems they do not charge taxes when shipping to the US. Adorama does....
So it might be a better deal after all?

amazon.com marketplace has one for $650.17 New, but it's coming from Japan... So not sure about the warranty.

Unless you are a Canadian buyer (the Auction appears to be located in Canada), in which case you'd be stuck with a 10-15% import duty if you bought from Adorama.

It will be the same HST/GST from Adorama or prodigital, there's no extra duty on cameras into Canada from the US outside of our usual taxes (not counting brokerage fees charged by couriers). However, there's no free shipping from Adorama to Canada, it's another $31 to where I live (this includes brokerage fees). Top it off with the 2 year Pentax Canada warranty ... a prodigital2000 ebay auction is where my k5iis came from.

A few of these went by in Feb with no bids, or just 1 bid for the minimum $679.99 (like the one I snagged).

And this is coming from a regular customer and fan of Adorama.

I didn't know you couldn't use Adorama bonus points towards a sale item! That seems very unfair.
