My father-in-law owns a camera store.

he has 3 of these in stock and would be willing to sell them and up 10 others, maybe more (pending purchase from Pentax directly) for $375 + shipping. You can't find these for less than 399 + $20 shipping.

I just got it.

It's the most incredible camera.

World's smallest 3MP camera.

yes via AVI - it's on the Pentax link.

It also does sound bites for each individual photo.

AND, it can export that sound directly to TV, PC, or other system.

Allright. They said the thing will fit in an empty Altoids tin! WTF?!

I want one. What's the final pricing on it?

hey, I'm down for 2 of these cameras, get back to me Matt...
umnitza

ok, so there are 3 in stock and judging by Kao and Rasta, those are spoken for:D

Tomorrow, I will find out how many more we can get by Friday.

I'm thinking 10 min and we can easily do the $379 shipped.

Well, I can't find it ANYWHERE for $375 + shipping.

So that's what the offer is.

We are sold out - Pentax can't deliver for 3 weeks - they are out of stock as well.

So, I'll resurrect when they are once again in stock.

wait, does that mean the original 3 you were selling are out as well?
umnitza
03-25-2003, 04:05 PM
Yes, those have been sold:( Two members on here have already sent payments.

One local sale was made as well:(

Got mine yesterday, will be tryin it out on the w/end, literally fits inside the palm of your hand.

I'll post some pics up of the motor soon.

Got mine from NY, 379 everything included, 1 yr Pentax Warranty!!
umnitza

FWIW - I've never bought from NY points of sales due to too many incidents of:
missing parts
incomplete warranties (though it seems not in this case)
"grey" market - meaning not for this market cameras (non-English manuals).

Now ExLondoner may have received a good deal. That happens.

But take it into consideration. This camera is awesome and alread out of stock.

My father in law is selling these now for $379 + shipping.

I just checked eBay and they are selling them for $399.

He told me today that he has a total of 6 in stock.

I've taken about 1000 pictures with mine and it's still going. Good battery life:)
