I actually thought Boyd's was the one giving up on Pentax entirely. Back when I bought my Optio 550 (last summer), I went by there (Boyd's) and showed it off, by way of complaining about the fact that they didn't carry it. The guy I spoke with -- don't know him and he wasn't Boyd -- didn't seem to give a dam. But I have SOME good news, and it's not that I saved on my car insurance by switching to Geico. It's that I actually saw an Optio 550 on display a couple of weeks ago. In Wolf Camera, of all places. Price had gone down since I bought mine, too. I know that Camera Exchange had the MZ-S on display for a good while. Wonder if anyone ever bought one. If no one did, I suppose that could have helped to discourage them. Glad I found out where to shop in Austin. ERN
