Re: For those who worry about K10D release...

[P. J. Alling]

Pentax hasn't had a runaway success since the late 1970's early 1980's. 
I doubt the staff even remembered what it was like.

Being conservative by nature, I would avoid shooting with a new to me 
equipment without much practice/familiarisation first.

Oh, and I can only photograph kids on a swing if prefocussed; 
extrapolate for racing :-)

Ultimately, It'll arrive when it arrives.  Being impatient by nature,  I 
want it and I want it NOW! :)  It won't kill me to wait though.  I hope I 
have it in my hands before 13 Dec as I'll be going with a bunch of mates to 
a local racetrack where I'll be using it to take shots of them circulating 
on their motorbikes.  The DL's autofocus will be hopeless for that.

Err, I am well pleased for Pentax and for all you happy people 
with preorders and intentions to buy it. The K10D is going to be 
one fine camera, apart from its catastrophic flaw: it does not 
take film. I am pleased to say it's going to be the MZ-S again :-)

Their problem was that they *had* to announce at Photokina. The 
development slipped a little, so everything slipped a little.

[Stan Halpin]

For those that didn't follow the link, he says: "We have not changed 
our planned availability date of early November, as posted on our 
website."

Hey guys, early November is less than two weeks away! I hope to go 
shoot some birds with a 300mm this weekend, I would love to have had 
the shake reduction, but I can wait... If I can get mine before 
Thanksgiving week, I'll have a chance to play with it then.

No, that figure is just the initial production volume for the first month, 
not the max.  Anyways, looks like the initial demands have exceeded their 
target.  I am sure there is some flexibility in their manufacturing plants 
to increase production according to the demands.

he participates in an online forum like that. He shoots some pretty

If Pentax weren't so ambiguous in their limited press-releases these
lines of questions wouldn't be so prevalent but they don't. There
appear to be a lot of people who have put money down on a new K10D, if
I were one of them I too would be keen for confirmation of the actual
delivery dates. Potential buyers will always ask questions so it's
inappropriate to place the blame other than with Pentax.
