They are only 6% marketshare behind Sony and is the fastest growing DSLR 
manufacturer at present. If Sony doesn't release anything hot at Photokina 
the K100 and K10D sales could surpass Sony.

Their factories are going on 24h basis in three shifts withour being able to 
fill orders. Products that are sold faster than they are made may actually 
create an even more demand. The prouct is seen as very desirable as so many 
people wants it.
