Serial 6242*** and (thanks to the expert advice in this forum) I set it up quickly. I spent some time talking to some retina imaging staff at the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore last month and picked the K-3 II as my entry point into digital photography. Last SLRs I used were all Pentax, and this new DSLR seems to have built in Kodachrome!
Very impressive to discover the power of pixels in this baby.
I listened to your advice and ordered from them too. I knew it was too good to be true.
Opened the outer box and the Pentax box was obviously damaged, looked like it had been re-packaged. Popped in a SD card and a battery and what do you know, 1529 shutter activations.
Sigh, I really don't like it when a seller lies to me. First time I've gotten burned on eBay too, we'll see what the resolution center does. Should have just spent the extra and ordered from someone I trust.
