Okay, so there are some caveats: It is a 6-megapixel dSLR, it is refurbished, it is a Pentax, and it is offered by the dangerously addictive folks at Woot.com.

But the upsides are that it is a full-fledged, 11-point-focusing, shake-resisting, dust-removing, 3200-ISO-shooting digital SLR camera for just $239. Factory refurbs frequently are more reliable than off-the-assemblyline products, since techs actually pay personal attention to them. Many shooters are fiercely loyal to Pentax and swear by 'em. And Woot! consistently provides some of the best deals on the entire internet.

But be warned, this deal is just for one day (Thursday, December 18th) or until stock runs out. And, as always, I have no association with the seller (other than being a frequent satisfied customer)... just giving folks looking for a deal a heads up.
