That's what I think as well. No one was suggesting they should be stupid and risk the business. OTOH, they, being Pentax, should be MORE in the know and in the BEST position, better than any of us, to guage and anticipate the market. I was simply surprised they would not have anticipated a high demand for their flagship which by all accounts has alot of bang for the buck. I'll be interested to see the graphs on how sales of the K10D peak and plateau. Tom C. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
