Interesting, this only usually happens when either sales are so slow that
they have to kick them back into action, or they are running down stock

I think it's more likely that they are doing it because they *don't*

Kenneth asked:
I last November I purchased an Optio S and now I don't see it advertised in
places where I previously saw it. Is it out of production? Wasn't it just
introduced last year?
Yes, it was -- and so was its successor, the S4.
Same is true of the 550 (February) and the 555

This have happened to all DSLR's. Anyway, it could easily be replaced soon, and/or
getting competition from other pentax DSLR's. I think herbert Keppler recently
suggested as much.
Why supplies last? Does that mean they have stopped production already?
If I was to try and guess, I would guess that they are trying to clear out of
the supply line the bodies that do not have the firmware upgrade from the
factory. However, it does leave one speculating about a new model in

Hello Tanya,
One thing to consider is that most announcements of new DSLR's at PMA
won't be for shipping product. So if you are in need of one in the
near future, you should just start looking at what can be purchased
now.
My plan is to keep the *istD for backup some point down the road when

Digital equipment is ephemeral. The production life for the *ist-D
was expected to be 6 months. If a NEW IMPROVED model is to be announced
