Tiger, If there's been an actual wholesale price drop, then B&H, Adorama, and CameraWorld will drop their prices (although not necessarily at the same time).
Otherwise, you're probably seeing the "bait" part of a typical "bait and switch" ripoff technique. I know that not everyone here is in love with photo.net, but one really great resource that they have is their neighbor-to-neighbor database. Before you try to purchase something from an ad in the back of Popular Photography, you should go to photo.net and see how many people have been ripped off by the company that you're looking at. Here's a link to their page: http://www.photo.net/neighbor/one-subcategory?id=2 --Mark On 14 Mar 2002 at 6:04, Tiger Moses wrote: > Got the April issue of PopPhoto Mag last night in the mail. > Quite a few places listed Pentax Kits with the MZ-S for a low as $719, > for the body, lense (28-80), battery, roll of film and maybe a strap. > > One place had the body listed at $649.00 (but their website said $724). > > I'm going to call today and see if I can order one at $649 - wish me luck! - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
