Cheapest local warranty is at JB is $1379.
Ted's is selling K-7 bodies at $1,299 right now.
Not sure if its been suggested, but I got mine with extra battery grip, (which these days I can't live without and remembering that they alone were around $450!) delivered to Darwin for $1840 odd. Not bad I didn't think. That was through digital camera warehouse.
But a site sponsor could be a nice way to go about things...
Pentax battery grip D-BG4 for K-7 is around $220 on eBay (Original) and about $100 for a 3rd party one.
Just bumping this thead as prices inevitably change so far I'm looking at this deal for Aus warranty K7 and 17-70
http://www.ryda.com.au/Pentax-K7-Dig...ens-p/k7k4.htm
Have seen body pretty cheap elsewhere (DWI in particular) but hard to find a combination with a sigma or pentax 17-70 that comes close.
Anyone bought from ryda? I would prefer an Aus warrenty on the body not so fussed with the lenses.
Try shopbot or static ice
Yay! That shaved abit off! Price to beat now is $1549 - now the inevitable 17-70 sigma vs pentax comparisons, new thread time
Tonto,
try digital camera wharehouse

Is it against forum rules to post prices for shops that aren't site sponsors? If not, I'll post my findings from today for anyone else in the same situation as the OP.
Tricky. If you are just discussing suppliers then no problem. If you are promoting a supplier then no go.Originally Posted by Lili
I usually post Shopbot and/or StaticIce links as they are just comparison sites.
It's ok to ask for an opinion.

That's OK, I understand, I knew it would be a close call. I just thought I could save someone else the trouble of doing the ring around for prices in Perth, I have no desire to complain or promote one store over another. Most of the stores I called today don't seem to update their sites, so they either don't list K7 as something they sell, or the price they have listed for the K7 is well out of date, or they have it listed but without a price, so they don't show up on staticice or shopbot. I guess the moral of the story is to get it straight from the horses mouth and call and check for yourself if you're interested
Oh I should probably add that none of the stores I called could do the K7 any cheaper than the cheapest deals you'll find on static ice, but I was happy to pay a little more to support a local brick and mortar store (especially one that stocks Pentax!).
Lets face it, most shops will do a deal. Esp. for camera, lens, memory cards etc.
I must add that it is hard enougth finding a store that stocks pentax!
I also don't mind paying 10% more to buy from a physical store- especially as I am VERY likely to buy other items in future! At final point before I buy I will give everyone a chance of my business.
BTW I have only looked at shops (on and offline)) on Pentax Aus distribution list so theorhetically it should be a semi even playing field.
I am now going to check out the site sponsers, thanks for the reminder!
