K3 was my dream camera 5 years ago but I just couldn't afford it. So I bought the K500 from B&H. 5 years on & I logged 59K on this cheap entry level cam. Then I saw that there are many used K3 at B&H & I order one & it arrived today. The body cost US$519.95 & I got the Remote control for US$26.95. Total S$825 incl freight & GST. There were more than 5 choices & even got one K3II but I chose this with a rating of 9+ The K3 was packed in a small box & there wasn't any manual or CD but got a charger & cables + 2 original batteries. So I don't need to buy additional battery. When I unwrapped the bubble wrap the camera looks very new. When I removed the hotshoe cap it looked spotless & shiny Then I charge the battery & attached a lens & took a shot. It was sharp & crisp & I upload the pic to Pentax Forum USA to check the data. The shuttercount is 123. This camera is a real gem even though it's an old model & it's my dream camera
