Well spotted, perhaps that's how they make up for the $50 price difference?

Maybe or maybe just a mistake in listing. I am tempted to be the guinea pig.

I doubt there is a 700 usd packaging and a 750 usd packaging where the number of grips differs...
I would go for cheaper offer with almost closed eyes

That is kind of what I am thinking if I go with it. I had one once and sold for reasons unrelated to liking it or not.

I was trying to find the manufacturers model number on the Ricoh site to compare with the B&H number but without success. I know they had the Kp on sale at this price as part of the 12-days of deals last December. I don't know if they indicated it had all the grips then, or if any forum members purchased it at that time?

Well I went a head and ordered one. I also purchased a silver one at the Christmas sale and that had all three grips.

I bought two from Amazon at this price; one silver and one black. The black one arrives tomorrow, the silver arrived last week. I am really impressed with the KP as it has surpassed expectations.

**Mikesul** · 10-19-2019, 12:51 PM

Mine is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday. We will see.

It arrived. The full package with all three grips.

Good to know for anyone interested. I just grabbed a deal on a barely used silver one myself, so no longer in the market. It's still a great deal though, especially with all the grips. Now all I have to do is familiarize myself with the new features on the Kp.

All the new features to learn is part of the fun of a new camera.

Yep, excited to try out the electronic shutter. I've been using the MX-1 for my sons classical concerts but the small sensor definitely struggles under the poor lighting.
