Since we don't have a Native SLR industry, (or for that matter camera manufacturers)
they can't be accused of dumping. Pentax want's to recapture the US market, it might
help if they advertised...

The Canadian street for the 300D with the 18-55 is $1599.00, the ist D with
the 18-35 was $2400.00.
The Canon 300D is not realistically priced.
Can you say "dumping"?
Were they selling wheat or softwood, there would be a trade embargo on
Pentax going into the US right now.
