I preorder my set in Vietnam, and today I received a call from the distributor that I should be able to receive my K3 Silver limited tomorrow afternoon.

in some countries, it is possible.

but in SG, I guess they will give some extra free gifts but not discount.

I checked japan amazon, it is more than S$1.7 k. In sg it could be higher as always.

How much?

Well, I booked it way earlier before Singapore publish the price as I don't want to miss the limited silver, but surprisingly, its cheaper.
PM you the price.

 

[PhilipKr35]

sorry my mistake. i hit the enter button so deleted the 18-55wr price and went to body alone price. 18-135 n silver price remains same. all are RCP.... body alone is 1,699 k3 18-55wr - $1,899 k3 SILVER Body+Grip+xtra Batt - $2,099 (extremely limited) k3 18-135WR - $2,159

Up the old post RCP

those who think they can get cheaper overseas, will be burned when they know the actual street price here when it is launched. soft private launch - 8th Nov. in the retail shops, 11th or 12th NOV.
dont forget, you still need to pay for shipping, and also, WARRANTY NOT COVERED FOR UNITS BOUGHT OVERSEAS.

locally, we also add original PENTAX CAMERA CASE O-CC90 and 8GB SD card Class 10 all, worth another $80 over dollars. which overseas dont do.

Thanks for the info.


I certainly agree that those considering, got no harm to see what the local street price is all things considered as you have mentioned, rather than just jumping for overseas purchase seas.

 

[MichaelLee]

I wonder how does one know overseas is cheaper whereas local price is not yet available ?

 

[fengwei]

Probably he is comparing w/ the RCP, which usually will be higher than the actual price.


Guys, just one more week to go. I'm sure your waiting will be well rewarded
