Pre-order of K10D

[dnaxe]

That's right. I was disappointed that they did not have DSLRs on show there, so I just asked about it. (They did not specify the day )

They are from Eastern Art Photo Store :
=30 Raffles Place, #02-26 Caltex House, Singapore 048622
=TEL: 62228213

One of the authorised dealers. http://www.shriro.com.sg/authorised.htm



It just occurred to me that I forgot to ask:sweat: But that keeps up the suspense, no? :bsmilie:

They apparently don't sell DSLRs or accessories (lenses/flashes, and etc.) at all.

Read somewhere that the D-L150 battery for K10D is similar to the one used for the KM 5D . Can anyone confirm this?

Asking me? Yes, waiting for 9 months since K10D development announcement at PMA in February whether to buy DS or K10D as first DSLR. Now waiting for K10D to be available in Singapore.

Post by fengwei a week ago in another thread.

Called Shriro a couple of days ago about the K10d, was told it'd be available by the end of this month or early next month. Most likely would be kit (K10d+DA18-55) only. Pricing isn't available yet, but heard the body cost would be around US$850 equivelent. But we all know local stores charge alot more for the kit lens even buy together (and have to buy together) w/ the body

The camera kit would be available for purchase in both Alan Photo and Cathay Photo.

Now let's see who'd get the K10d kit first ;p

I emailed Shriro b4, they said they are 'unable' to sell the body only...:cry:
... unless they change their mind, of course...

Sorry, this won't happen I'm afraid (I mean large quantity shipment ...) Pentax already appologized for not able to make enough K10D to meet the preorder demand:


http://www.pentax.co.jp/japan/news/announce/20061130-01.html

Altavista translation:
...

we have received the order which exceeds the expectation of our company substantially, it has become the circumstance where production does not overtake demand.

As make wait done the customer and store, we apologize the fact that it receives time to the delivered item deeply.

In order presently, to be able to answer demand urgently, because we arrange production system, now for a while to wait, that it receives, we ask.

Called Shriro last week about the shipment of K10D, was told they'd only get 1/5 of what they ordered, just like the agents in many other countries. Obviously there are plenty of stock in the States...

K10D sound like an upgrade of KM5D (minus the M) ;p , good for you.

Most likely not, can't afford 2 systems :sweat:
