One-day Woot deal: Pentax K-x, $440, multiple colors available!

[Groucho]

Here's a great deal on a great entry-level DSLR! Amazon has it for $500, so this is a good discount.

Available in black, white, red, olive, pink, and purple. Just try to buy more DSLR for the price, I dare you.

That is a good deal! I might even be tempted if they had it in the UK blue for that price.

Aww I wish they had Pink when I bought mine!

Hey Groucho, thanks for the link.

I might be wrong, but is this price higher than it was around the holiday season?
I priced around during xmas and ended up getting my son a T1i, but remember being very tempted by this camera.

Was there a recent price increase?

I don't think so... you can check some price history at Amazon here, the lowest it's ever been at Amazon has been $490. (Not counting third-party, looks like they bottomed out around $460.) I think we paid $650 or so for ours when it was relatively new.

I know the feeling; my wife wants the purple one.

The K-r has the nicer 3" LCD and the light-up focus points, but the K-x for this price is a steal, with some really great capabilities and speed, and let's not forget that it was one of the best high-ISO APS-sensor cameras until the K-5 and D7000 came along...

woot shipping is always $5 for any order, if that makes a difference too.
