K20D (body only) - $1090 TK foto
K20D w/ 18-55 - $1260 TK foto
K20D w/ 18-55 - $1250 MS Color

Both TK and MS no stock for K200D. And MS told me that K200D out of production already.

I did my homework on K20D. If you buy from Amazon+Vpost+GST = ~$1275. The price difference is negligible, so it no longer makes sense to buy from US online stores anymore.

About 4 months back, K20D body only price was ridiculous. +/- $2000!

I must say these are extremely good pricing for local sets with warranty. The new distributor is doing some magic as promised. Well done.
*now, why didn't they have this pricing half a year ago!!!!* ;(

Anyone got quotes for the K-m?

See my previous post in this thread. Pricing is from Emjay.

According to Emjay, Yen has gone up so pricing gone up some.

i predict that one day pentax will release a version of the K-7 in shiny magnesium alloy like the old film bodies.

Hi guys,

In your experience, do the prices vary in different branches of the same shop? I've heard a few mention Alan Photo before, but IIRC, usually the Sim Lim outlet. Funan may be more convenient for me, but will I get the same pricing?

If not convenient/appropriate to post, pls PM. Thanks.

Prices sometimes vary even in the same branch.
I personally prefer the AP in SLS than Funan because I've been quoted random price at the one in Funan before.
But that may be just me.

There are some stories of people getting different quotes of the same item days apart at some stores, depending on factors like young/old/newbie/tourist-looking/familiar customer/first-time customer etc.

MJ.. any news when K7 will be in Singapore??

 

[woefulwabbit]

I think we scared away the MJ rep after the hard time we gave them over the lens price quotes :/

 

[Reportage]

i dont think the distro will reveal the distributor price.

what i am most interested is the SRP. As long the various shops quote below SRP should be okay.

Spoken to Eddie from Emjay. No pricing in as yet. We need to wait patiently as it should be in late June or early July . . .
