Could this be the last Christmas we see deals on DSLRs? That might sound sensationalist, but the truth that the choices available for traditional interchangeable lens digital reflex cameras are thin on the ground.

The DSLR vs mirrorless debate has raged for a decade now, but we are at a point now where no new DSLRs are being launched – and the number of options available new is declining, and declining fast. True, Pentax is still making DSLR models – but even so it is doing little more than refashioning old designs.

Launched in 2021, the K-3 III boosted the specs of Pentax APS-C DSLRs with a 25.7MP sensor, ISO up to  1,600,000, 101 AF points and 12fps shooting. But at the time it cost £1,899 - and we said that price was steep. This offer on the silver version of the camera, however makes this camera much, much better value.
