Got very lucky on a Pentax camera.

I spied a box in a display case earlier today at one of the local pawn shops. I at first thought it might just be a lens...but it proved to be a camera and lens. They wanted 100 and I asked them if that was their best price. They reduced it down to 80 dollars...can we say sold.

This is a 12 megapixel Pentax K-X with a Sigma 28-300 mm f/3.5-6.3 lens. I didn't spend much time looking at the camera...as I know the lens is worth far more than 80 dollars. It turns out the camera works nicely and has some neat features. That will give me a backup to my backup. Can't go wrong for 80 bucks.

Damn, that's a sweet score Dan! I shutter to think what the previous owner paid.

See what I did there. : facepalm:

Is there a way of finding out how many shots it's taken? Good score either way 

[Chako]

Yes. 7601 photos. Not bad really.

Wow that's a good price! I keep hearing these mysterious pawn shops with good prices, but around here we only have pawn shop wants retail price for half broken crap.
