1/10 the time is only 4 years, and that is not a long time to be in production except for bottom of the line entry level SLRs. % years is very common for mid range cameras and high end ones are even longer.

Film slr's didn't really change much after the first reliable one's were built. Hell the K1000
is a direct, (very direct), descendant of the Spotmatic F. The meters are electronically interchangeable
with a small amount of surgery on the circuit board. That implies that the same basic design was produced
for about 40+ years. I don't expect any current Pentax design (or for that matter C* or most current N* designs),
to be in production for 1/10 that amount of time. DSLR's have even shorter product lives.
