Argh, I had been waiting for Woot to sell this model to replace my K100D, but couldn't wait any longer and went with the K200D. Anyway, not a bad deal at all for a new camera, considering this is discontinued and tough to find. Typically used K7's will go for slightly higher than this - the only place I could find new is at Henry's which lists over $1000.

As stated in the DPR review, this has fantastic ergonomics, two-dial control, a bright viewfinder, weather sealing; all in body more compact than its K20D predecessor. Unique to Pentax will also be the green button (in M-mode sets exposure according to the program line) and TAv mode (shutter-aperture priority - shifts the ISO), both very nifty features to have in a SLR. Note that this uses a Samsung sensor (similar to the one in the K20D), which is good, but not as nice as the Sony CMOS in the new K5. This has me rethinking my recent moofi purchase of the K200D, but I think I will wait for the K5 to come down.

@egadog: Good comment. I noted this in the comments on the refurb, but the new body alone is about $800 elsewhere (B&H). Not a great deal here, not a bad deal either. Still kicking myself on the K20 they had good while back, but back then, I wasn't sure what I was actually buying in the model line.

The performance of the K5 seems pretty worthwhile if you're spending this much already. Body is about $1,350 I think. K5 pricewise is like a K7 plus a nice lens, and what I've read on the K5, the upgrades from the K7 particularly the sensor are worth it.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
