P�l, could you please be a bit more specific about where "this part of the world" is? I would also like to know where the figure "14000 cameras" come from. And which time-frame is it supposed to cover?

According to Pentax sources at this part of the world, out of 14 000 DSLR sold about 40 will be *ist D's. About 13 960 are Nikon or Canon models.
