Pentax K-5 - Mistral75 - 09-21-2010 [quote name='Klaus' timestamp='1284985770' post='2975'] Well, the french site has surely listed its personal street price. As usual the street price will be 20% below the MSRP in no time (in Europe at least). [/quote] French MSRPs are: - K-5 body only: €1,249 - K-5 + 18-55 WR: €1,299 - K-5 + 18-135 DC WR: €1,699.

[/quote] Store price from the store I usually buy stuff from has these prices: Pentax K-5 body: [indent]9.995,- NOK (1 262.68 Euros)[/indent] Pentax K-5 + 18-55mm WR: [indent]10.495,- NOK (1 325.85 Euros)[/indent] Pentax K-5 + 18-55mm WR + 50-200mm WR: [indent]11.895,- NOK (1 502.71 Euros)[/indent] Pentax K-5 - Klaus - 09-21-2010 The pricing for the 18-135 is a bit surprising. If you buy it separately it'll shrink your bank account by 700EUR (MSRP inc. 19% tax) Pentax K-5 - Mistral75 - 09-21-2010 [quote name='Klaus' timestamp='1285061100' post='3040'] The pricing for the 18-135 is a bit surprising.If you buy it separately it'll shrink your bank account by 700EUR (MSRP inc. 19% tax) [/quote] Same here in France: €699 stand-alone, €450 if bought with K-5 as kit zoom (€1,699 - €1,249).

Pentax K-5 - Guest - 09-23-2010 Time to start looking for a K7 to buy [which still has a good sensor, by the way]. Yep, blame me, but I´m on "zee cheap", but this technology pace sort of cracked me down, and they have hampered their own race in that regard. It starts to be like buying a computer: the best buy is the best just obsolete technology, not the latest one. Pentax K-5 - Steinar1 - 09-23-2010 Looks to me like the body alone price is too high. Only reason why they can sell the kit with the lens at 450€. Look for the body price to come down 200€ at least! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> K5 is not worth 100€ more than a D300s. Pentax K-5 - emr - 09-26-2010 This is a screen capture from the price list of one of the most reputable Finnish photography webstores. Not so bad? K-5 body only 1149€ incl. VAT. Pentax K-5 - Christos - 10-16-2010 Klaus you think the K-5 will best out the 7D? Pentax K-5 - Guest - 10-17-2010 [quote name='Christos' timestamp='1287270718' post='3647'] Klaus you think the K-5 will best out the 7D? [/quote] 1. "best out" cannot be judged by anybody except by the individual who uses the camera based on his own needs. 2. K-5 cannot take canon lenses, so it doesnt "best out" the 7D of somebody owning a large Canon system 3. any differnces in image quality may or may not exist, but will certainly not matter for real photography, e.g. prints. IF you need a camera solely for 100% on-screen crop- viewing, iq difference may be important. So far I wasnt able to dectect any iq difference in large prints of the more recent aps-c cams (50D, 7D, 550d, 500D, with Nikons D300s being extremly close even with it low res of only 12 mP, full frame is a differnt matter, of course) 4. user interface, lens selection, autofocus and other features determine if the camera suits a buyer. there is no objektive better or worse, just better suited for a particular task and better suited for a photographers handling prefernces. |
