The current rebate is a good one, and the base price is as low as its likely to go before they announce a new camera body, if the stability of the K-7 base price is any thing to go by :)
For a great walk around mid-range zoom, I'd recommend the Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4(.5) Macro (there's several for sale in the forums for under 300 for the non-HSM version, or just over for the HSM). This lens has excellent contrast & rich saturated color; 17-70 is a great walk-around range - as wide as you'll want for indoors or wide landscape shot, as fast as you'll want for dim lighting (at the wide end at least), as long as you'd want for lovely portraits (70mm at 4.0/4.5 is a great portrait length/depth), and a fantastic razor sharp macro setting. Pretty much all you could ask for in a walk-around :)
You won't regret the K-5 - great camera!
