The body only goes for $550 while the two lens kit (55-200 DX VR) goes for $800. Offer ends by 3am ET on Friday or earlier if sold out.
The Pentax K-50 is available in three colors and three kits, making price-checking and deciding a bit of a project. But it may be worth the time because Adorama has many offers and some of them come with the AF-200FG for free (automatically included by Adorama – when you see this mentioned right below the price on the right side of the page). Be sure to pay attention to each individual listing as there are many and each has a slightly different offer.
The action starts at $367 with the K-50 body only kits. The black is out of stock (but you can still order it) while the Storm Trooperish White is in-stock. However, in terms of pure value, for $400 you can get the K50 body only kits with a $50 Adorama gift certificate and a 4GB EyeFi memory card in black and white and red.
The K-50 with 18-55 kits start at $450 in the exotic colors (no free flash) but at $457 for the standard colors (white, black, red) you get the free flash and 4GB EyeFi card.
The K-50 with 18-55 and 50-200 two lens kits go for $550 and they too come with the free flash and 4GB EyeFi card in the usual white, black and red colors.
This limited time offer ended… If you don’t hate mail-in rebates, Adorama has a bundle centered around the Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L USM AF Image Stabilized Lens. Manually click “Add to Bundle” (blue button) on the New Leaf One Year Spills and Drops warranty. You also get a 77mm Tiffen filter kit and other lens accessories as part of the bundle on the lens. You pay $1590 at checkout. After you receive it, you submit the usual $200 Canon mail-in rebate, bringing you a happy ending of $1390 after mail-in rebate.
At this point in time, the lightning deals are pretty much happening on a round the clock basis at the Amazon Camera & Photo Lightning Deals… Expired highlights for Thursday after the jump…

B&H Photo fans, the Canon 7D Mark II body only kit is now in-stock and shipping for $1800 with free next day delivery.
PS: other things equal, I will start posting another burst of offers in a couple of hours from now…
This limited time offer expired with 100% claimed… The headliner of the Lightning Deals camera-wise for Monday is the certified refurbished Nikon D3300 with 18-55 DX VR and 55-200 DX lenses offered for $500 with free shipping, sold by Beach Camera on Amazon, with the order fulfilled by Amazon (eligible for free 2-day Prime shipping). Offer ends by 2:50pm ET or earlier if sold out.
This limited time offer ended but a new one is going live on 11/27/14 (new post for that one)…
These limited time offers expired… Check back daily for more new holiday shopping season offers from the Amazon Gold Box Lightning Deals… Expired items after the jump…
Adorama is offering the Pentax K-3 body only with D-BG5 battery grip and 32GB card and 4% promotional rewards for $800 with free expedited shipping when you enter coupon code EARLYPEEK at checkout. Offer ends on 11/26/14 or earlier if sold out.
The Rokinon 8mm f3.5 fisheye lens is on sale for $200 with free shipping in six different mounts, five SLR (C/N/A/P and Four Thirds) and Sony E-mount at B&H Photo.
Also one of the featured eBay Deals is the new condition imported/grey-marked Nikon D610 body offered for $1200 with free shipping, with a limit of five per buyer. The seller is bigvalueinc (99.4%). Over 120 cameras got sold through this eBay listing so far.
NOTE: this does not come with a manufacturer warranty. It comes with a one year warranty from the seller. This was part of the D610 with lens kit, but the lens removed. Selling the lens and body separately is more profitable since the bundle has a built-in discount. Some sellers use the term “broken kit” to describe this but it’s an unfortunate term because when a shopper reads “broken”, they run away scared 🙂
The standard Nikon D610 body only kit from authorized Nikon USA dealers goes for $1600 (eg Amazon, B&H Photo), so you have trade-offs, such as $400 vs manufacturer-warranty, authorized Nikon dealers vs eBay sellers and such. It’s up to you to triangulate your risk matrix on deals like this – there’s no one size fits all answer.
