The Microsoft Bing cashback program is legit.
For example, Beachcamera.com, a quite reputable store, is selling the K20D for $629 through their Ebay account.
So using the Bing cashback and Paypal, you end up getting the camera for $566.
One drawback is that you actually purchase the camera for the full price of $629, but then in 60 days you can get Microsoft to send you a check for $62.90.

No, I meant 50,000k.
I think it might just be some wierd Lightroom thing, but even just clicking around the pictures with the whitebalance tool and the majority of the color temperatures it's indicating are in the 20,000k+ range... I was just confused since this seems high, even though the pictures, to my eyes, look normal.
Playing with Lightroom, I can't really tell the difference between 20,000k and 50,000k, so maybe its something buggy with Windows 7 and Lightroom 64bit.

I have a quick question about using the gray card and color temperature.
I was at Zion national park this weekend and I was shooting some pics I placed my gray card on the ground to use it as a in Lightroom for post processing.
In Lightroom, using the white balance tool shows the gray card at 50000k, with +2 tint. Does this temperature sound reasonable? The pictures look OK with this reading, I just wanted to make sure this wasn't a issue with the way I was using the gray card. From what I've read normal WB ranges are in the 3000-10000 range.
The day was overcast, and it was near sunset. Below is a sample picture.

On another note, I didn't notice the K10D took this at 1/20 sec handheld until just
now. Go SR I suppose.
Let me know what you think, thanks.

I find this to be one of the more useful features of the AE-L button. I've had my K10-D for almost a year and I just discovered this feature about 2 weeks ago.

Buy the 21mm DA before you come to Vegas.
I have looked at quite a few stores in Vegas and you won't find that lens in stock anywhere. I suggest purchasing online from B&H
If you are set on still looking in Vegas, try Ritz Camera on the corner of Warm Springs and LAs Vegas Blvd or Casey's Camera as a previous poster suggested.
I expect you'll only find the general Pentax gear, k20d body, battery grip, kit lens, etc.
