It took me too long to make a decision
The K-3 & K-3II deals weren't all that great this past Friday & Monday, especially for those of us that are not really in a rush to buy a new body.
For instance, all the stuff they were adding to the body is stuff that I already have. I would have to sell it on the forum, eBay, or Craig's List. It's a hassle for me & since a lot of other buyers are probably doing the same thing, the value of the flash & lens goes down the drain. I'd probably get about $100 for the flash & lens if I were lucky. If the K-3 body would have been priced at about $500 without anything, I would have bought one. If they would have added the grip for another $50, I definitely would have bought one.
Wait a couple more weeks. The prices might drop down a bit more as retailers get desperate to sell more stuff for the holidays. When I was looking at the Sony A77II (
former A-mount shooter), the best deal for that camera was in mid-December last year. I would have gotten the A77II with a grip for $850, but it was a bit too much money for me. I would have saved about +-$100 if I had bought all my Pentax stuff around that time as well, but I was still pretty happy with the deal I got in late January. Either the prices will drop a bit more or better incentives will be added to the bodies in mid-December. If not, oh well.
