Thanks for the link! Saw the first one slip by, but this one I slept on .. and it was still there in the AM!
So ..
It arrived in the standard Amazon way with deflated pillows and rattling inside the big box ..lol.
Inside, the K-1 was in it's original box, with all accessories. It looks like the body was taken out of the packaging, and put back.
No marks, fingerprints nor any marks anywhere, and I looked carefully.
Snapped my first FF digital pic and check shutter count with the PF tool, result = 1.
So it's brand new, unless the 'renewed' also erases the shutter count? My impression is that maybe it was just a return. Maybe somebody didn't like the size or heft? Or maybe they thought it was broken because 'things move inside' when off (the SR mechanism)?
In any case, cam is perfect, really enjoying the large viewfinder the most!
One thing I'm not clear on, is the original factory warranty valid?
