They are only 6% marketshare behind Sony and is the fastest growing DSLR

If there's enough of a price differential, many will settle for the
six just to move up to a DSLR. I see six megapixel models eventually
selling for $300 new.

If a store orders a large batch Pentax will build them, but they won't
build lenses or cameras to keep in stock, "on spec." so to speak. They
seem to be getting large orders for K100D cameras so they're building
them as fast as they can. That's a huge batch, for Pentax at least.

One of the reasons why Pentax doesn't sell things in big batches. LOL.

Some time ago I wrote an article on trouble shooting production lines
for an industrial giant that shall be nameless. I went to Germany and
studied the lines day after day. I can tell you, without any

Nope, I haven't but this is SOP for most manufactures these days. Why
would I assume that Pentax is any different.

Manufacturers don't make things in huge batches any more. You need to
keep up with modern methods.

My six megapixel camera takes excellent pictures now. I suspect that
it will continue to do so until it dies. Which may well be many years
from now. My Pentax HP2 still takes excellent pictures.

Pentax doesn't warehouse much in the way of product anymore. They build
to fill orders. When they can no longer recover costs they'll stop
making them and sell out what little is left and take the loss as a tax
write off.

Dear All,
Yet another K100D review:
http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/pentax/k100d-review/index.shtml
Very nice, though it is rather unfair to compare
continuous shooting performance with the D80 - that is
a camera that will compete with the K10D. The K100D
should be compared with the D50.
