Most likely Pentax got wind of the Nikon D70, coming in at sub$1000
price, and the new DA Nikon zoom 18-70/3.5-4.5. The D70 is a true
competitor t
I think not. I doubt that anyone could get away with a firmware upgrade
you can do in your
home and change your model designation charging a higher price. Unless
your name is Microsoft
that is, and even then you can't fool everyone.

If you want to figure out what Pentax is doing on the marketing front,
just take industry standard practice and reverse it.

In some cases when the price drops, the maker is clearing the way for a
replacement.

Actually, it probably only means they are clearing out the models without the
firmware factory installed upgrade. Wonder if the one with the upgrade is going
to be called an *istDn (doesn't that make for unreadable alphabet soup)?
The other price drops? Well, it is a very competitive market.
--
Is this good news -- i.e., that the *ist D has sold well and Pentax is
clearing out inventory to make way for a new, higher-spec model?
Or bad news -- that it hasn't sold well enough, in part because it
hasn't been priced competitively?
Simultaneous price drops on other gear make one wonder.
