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


Hmm.. sole agent. I supposed have to see if there's an exclusive thing... if so then nothing Emjay can do.
 

No lah, just a wish list that emjay brings in Tokina. Dun think it will happen at least not so fast. Really want the 12-24mm f4 DX II, pentax same one costs 1k plus, even though same thing different name. Everywhere selling $850 or so, HK sell S$740 only.
 

Well, US$653.17 is about S$928. Probably comes round to ~$1050 after tax and shipping. Still better to get the $1102 locally IMO
 

is there any shop to try the k-x and k7? seems like many places don't allow testing. thanks!

Nope...but you can join in the next pentax outing which is in march to try out:)

When I called MS Color last time, Florence offered to let me try it out at the show. Not sure if it's still ok there.
 

I bought mine at a shop that did not allow me to try it out. Some that did, I didn't buy from them. Just do not feel comfortable buying a camera or lens that has been tried out by God only knows how many people before me! A demo/display model is sound marketing practice. Unboxing a new camera just for trying out is not!

That said... trying out DSLRs aren't really a big problem. Walk into some big name store such as Harvey Norman, Best Denki, Courts, etc. I've never been refused to handle a camera at these places. They have display models specifically for customers to handle... or has this all changed recently? Not sure if these places stock Pentax though... that could be an issue.

Best idea is to join the fortnightly outings organized by Fengwei and Creampuff... you are sure to get poisoned after trying out many types of Pentax cameras to your hearts content!!
 

As far as I know SLR R and CP both don't have display sets and neither do they unbox new for the purpose of tryouts.
 

As per requested by some other mods/admins, this kind of price discussion should be moved to Consumers Corner.

Let's move this one to Consumers Corner then.
 

The Pentax group organises an outing every month (thanks to Fengwei) and that's the best time to join in and see the various models in the flesh. Plus you get to hear real life comments from real users too. :)
 

This is latest price of K-x 18-55 kit at B&H

Will this prompt emjay to compete??
 

Of note this says it includes the AL II instead of the older AL
 

Whoa:bigeyes: That's an incredible price and hard to beat!
 

If you take into consideration the shipping and taxes, the price difference is not that much especially vs the current Lunar New year promotion price.
Don't think prices will drop any much further unless its to clear stocks for a new model.;p
I'd rather pay a little more for the local set and fuss free support.:)
 

Guys, I got the money now. Went to SLR Rev but too late, they closed and opening on 21st!! argh!! bo pian, hand itchy...have to play around with my panny lah.

Anyways, I only see SLR Rev selling Pentax cheaper than others. Or do you have any recommendation if there are other place than SLR Rev selling cheaper? Noob question, sorry.

Hand itchy wannabe Pentaxian already leh, already order the T-shirt...haiz. BBB virus is very Contagious.
 

Oh Yah, forgot to state that I read the facebook that SLR Rev only has White set kit lens 18-55. But for Double kit lens (55-300) only comes in black. Do you have any suggestion where I can get 18-55+55-300 kit White?

Other than SLR Rev, U may try Manly at Chinatown.

As for dual kit colour, U can't get it in S'pore.
Not even sure if there's sure thing.
Only single lens kits come in various colour.

Thank you
