First time poster - joined last night. Finally made the move from a p&s to a dSLR, and got a K20D with the 18-55 II lens from Adorama about 2 weeks ago. Previous was a Canon S110 Digital Elph 2.1MP p&s (bought new in 2000 @ Best Buy).

Even get free shipping, which is what I got. If it's not out of reach, and you call, worse they can do is say no. And if it's within reach, and they will do it, and you buy TOMORROW, you will qualify for the 2 extra years of warranty Pentax is offering on K20D's bought until 12/31/2008, for a total of 3 years of warranty.
