By all acounts the SB-600 is freakin awesome. Its one of the reasons I wanted to go the Nikon route.

Anyway, I purchased a Pentax K200D from Amazon for $558 for the kit. I also scored a AF 360FGZ flash at Circuit City for $33.23. They had one in the clearance case that was kinda beat up. I asked how much it was and the guy, while checking the price, found that they had another unopened one in the back. Him and the manager talked for a minute and he said it was cheap. As Cirucit City no longer sells Pentax products cheap meant thirty bucks. Freakin. Awesome.

Flipped Gazelle- I know. I never get the good deals. I get ok deals but never a steal like this. Glad I decided not to get the one on amazon. I am gonna check back and see if any of the lenses in the case were for Pentax cameras.

A 1st party speedlight for less than $35 is a great price. And that 50 f/1.4 for $70?! That's impressive. Looks like the K20D will provide some inexpensive photographic fun! :)
