Normally, if not specified otherwise the camera is brand new. It is best to check with the seller though, only they can confirm it. Typical base kit K-5+lens comes with a non-WR lens. However the picture here does show a WR lens, so if they ship you a non-WR version you will have a ground to complain. Again, to avoid having to mail the lens back you may want to check with the seller before ordering. The lens is AF.

Pat, The kit is sold new and used, that is your decision. I bought the camera body only and then bought the 18-55 II version of the Pentax AF lens. Supposedly the first 18-55 version of the lens, which I had seen accompanying the K-5 in a kit before, was improved upon and they called the new model the 18-55 II. My K-5 is water resistant. The K-5 takes excellent pictures and the noise is very limited as opposed to the earlier Pentax models, which I have noticed myself. I recommend that you buy the K-5 body only, then if you want the 18-55 lens, buy the Pentax 18-55 II if you need that type of wide angle lens. As I mentioned, I use both and I get excellent results.

I bought my K5 brand new last Summer. And the Weather Resistant lens WAS INCLUDED. How can you tell a WR lens from a regular old non-WR lens? Look at the photo. There is a green ring on the front part of the lens body. That means it's WR. If the green ring is toward the back of the lens body, it's just a regular, non-WR lens. Look at the photos of the camera from the seller. If you want the newer Pentax K5 model, buy the Pentax K5 II. It has a few more improvements. But the K5 models from last year are selling at a more discounted price, if you look hard enough.

The K-5 is replaced by the K-5ii. Go to DPReview for comparisons between the two. The lens is AF, but the lens may or may not be weather resistant. If it says 'WR' in the name than yes.

I bought it brand new. But I also bought all the lenses separately. 18-135mm and 100mm Macro are weather resistant lenses, while 55-300 is not. The body is weather-resistant.

The camera is brand new. Original box. It included charger, battery and straps. It´s an excellent camera, very portable. Highly recomendable.

A decent one, in fact, the camera is pretty stellar. I would recommend not buying this product on the basis that they're all used. I bought one listed as 'new' and it came in evidently worn and not able to turn on.

Yes， including lens/flash & brand new if sold by Amazon. (But be careful if it re-marks'refurbished' that means 2nd hand & re-newed by factory. Also including lens/flash It will be sold by other dealer & clearly show 'refurbished'.) Nice camera, recommand. Frankly speaking, if price is enough low, 'refurbished' is more worth purchasing.

I bought mine used and the seller I got it from had the body only but it was like new. And for the kit lens, as I've stated, I didn't get mine with the kit lens but I will say I use the nex f3 with an la-ea2 adapter with Sony dt 35mm f1.8 Sam lens. It works beautifully for beginners. But I am an enthusiast and hobbyist photographer and I will get a semi pro or pro level dslt camera from Sony in future.

It may also be the case that you are looking at used or refurbished lenses. I bought one used, it is like new and an excellent lens for low price. Best regards

This is one of the best lenses I own. Of course it is brand new. I haven't any problem yet so I can't answer about warranty handling,

What do you mean? Are you asking what comes with this lens(brand new), or are you asking what comes with this lens(the one I am selling)?

This camera is good. However, this is a used camera so the package was sent to me without the string co keep the lens cover. The price for this old model is not reasonable because I see some deal in the market after I bought was lower price.

it's used, albeit slightly. i probably only took about 15 pics with it. it's in perfect condition.

it is how I described this camera on Amazon page: Excellent condition, has a few light scratches on the upper plate, the bottom plate has some scotches, nothing major. Comes with 2 Batteries, charger w/ car charger, manual, strap, and USB cable in original box. 100 Day Guarantee. We are a Leica USA Authorized Dealer. SN: 04337711. Show less

This question is answered in the Q&As; on Amazon. This is a 'white box' unit, which means it was separated from a camera combo pack. I registered mine at Canon for warranty and had no problems. As I understand it from reading other Q&As; and comments, this is the same high quality, new lens. I have no reason to question that, mine was new.

Mine was new and I LOVE it! We use it all the time, we had great lenses from our old Minolta film camera so we could transition over without an issue, best decision ever was to purchase this camera!

Different vendors sell items at different prices depending on their inventories. I am satisfied with the lens it came repacked in a box with all the labeled items and it is brand new. I would buy it again at $700 any day if i needed another one. Best of luck on your decision. :)

The one I got my wife was new. If it's refurbished item I think the description should say that.For what it's worth the camera we got is great.
