Price drop for Kx Body/Kit/200mm/300mm lens kit :)

[woefulwabbit]

Ah.. John 3:16, the anti-Pentax shop. The Canon 1000D is far inferior to the K-x, cannot even compare
Did you go to the shop opposite called SLR Revolution? What price did they quote you, and is that the single lens kit or dual lens kit? Comes with 4x eneloops and quick charger?

If what you are saying is true, the price for the K-x might have gone up with the latest stock replenishment...

Lol. i just remembered
before going to SLR Rev to buy my K-x i tried to visit John 3:16. i asked if they have any Pentax K-x, a sales guy replied something like: Yes i have but why buy a Pentax Kx? Buy Canon or Nikon instead with that same price is far better! The only good thing about it is that it has video capability.

i walked out of the store crying.

For all their friendliness and acclaimed customer service, this pretty much shows that they care more for their profit margin than what is best for the customer.

Wonder which model of C & N is the same price with K-X? :think:

which ever, depends on which one the sales want to push
he can just pull up the k-x price to the same level, since he don't want to sale it anyway.
common sales technique

 

[maxwell207]

same story of John3:16 with me.. indeed they are friendly if you are going to buy C&N .. as for other brand, they will tell you NO Good.. why not buy C&N instead ... try Slr Rev , i have good expreience with them .. they charged me $2 for lcd screen protector and even pasted for me while other shop can simply charge $10-12 .. i walked out happily

i dont know either because after i heard that i walked out already but thought maybe he's thinking about D5000 and 500D which is more pricey than K-x. and yes i think he'll just pull up the kx price.

$2 is cheap!

Possibly Manly, since the price matches Manly and it says Chinatown.
Think I'd rather buy straight from the shop where got confirm valid warranty.

Canon just introduced 550D. Hope this will prompt Pentax to bring their price further down::think:
