RE: New Pentax DSLR's?

[Joseph Tainter]

This discussion would be much more interesting if Pentax was able to 
produce and ship its existing higher-end products, like the DA 16-45 and 
the FA 77. There are backordered to east Asia with no availability in sight.

Is this just more of Pentax's marketing ineptitude? Is the company 
fundamentally in trouble? (We all know that profits and losses can be 
concocted on paper, so recent profit figures may not mean much.) Or is 
this small company just stretched too far introducing too many new 
digital products?
