Pentax price curves
I was trying to find the price history of various Pentax DSLRs, to get some idea of when the K-5 might next drop in price, but while I've seen such charts, I can't find any. Other than two weeks after I bought mine, anybody have a good idea of what the price curve of Pentax DSLRs looks like? I have noticed that a sudden price drop often precedes the introduction of a new model, but there do seem to be a few adjustments along the way. We've already seen the first price drop after the get full retail from the folks that have to have the latest rush. But the BH price has been steady at $1465 for a while now. In the process of looking, I stumbled across this site: http://www.radiantlite.com/2010/01/digital-slr-and-compact-camera-price-chart.html I'm not sure who he is, but he seems to be a Canon shooter that likes Pentax. The weird thing is that while I can't see what he uses to base his advice on (much like Mr. Hardness-scale), a lot of his Pentax advice seems to be pretty good: http://www.radiantlite.com/2009/10/recommended-lenses-for-pentax-k7-pentax-k20d.html http://www.radiantlite.com/2009/12/recommended-lenses-for-pentax-k-x-k-m.html even if he likes the D7000 and the 60D better than the K-5: http://www.radiantlite.com/2010/10/best-advanced-dslr-camera-2010.html -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Pentax price curves
I suspect the price drops come when demand lags. The K-5 has been well received, so it may be longer than usual. I think they K-7 was discounted within a couple of months of release, but I definitely didn't track it, so I'm not at all sure.

Re: Pentax price curves
Well, we are moving into the year's slowest retail period, from now through April -- when people start buying graduation presents. So perhaps the standard Winter retail slowdown will produce at least a temporary price drop.
