I don't think that Pentax is making them fast enough and, apparently, they 
are taking care of their most loyal dealers first.  I paid a bit of a 
premium to get the one I have.

Hi,

Saw on in the flesh today for the first time.

Nice marketing, Pentax.  I live in only the third biggest conurbation in
the UK (5-7 million people) and it took you over a month to get one
here.
Stuck in a corner of a window display of one of the smallest camera
shops in the city.  The 300D, conversely, is even in the box shifter
shops now, with whacking big adverts next to it.  Even allowing for the
price discrepancy, it is no wonder the Pentax market share is so
limited.
