And that really is the problem. They sell so fast almost no one has a demo
machine. Because there is none on the shelves people come to the erroneous
conclusion that the *istD is not selling well. As you know, Cesar, our area
Pentax Rep claims they still have thousands of units on back order.

I was at my photo store this afternoon dropping off some MF film when the
sales clerk asked me if I had my *ist D with me. It was draped over my
shoulder, with my Optio S in the fanny pack.
There was an customer interested in digital with some Pentax lenses. I
handed my camera to him. The store did not have an *ist D in stock - as
soon as they come in, they are gone.
The customer was impressed with the size and liked being able to use his
lenses on them. He was a little interested in being able to use non-A and
M42 lenses on it.
