given that Pentax hopes to sell 120K DSLRs this fiscal year, all of which
are low profit margin, what do you think?
Herb...
The question is not how many people are unhappy with the limited K/M
compatibility, but how many people (who would otherwise buy a Pentax DSLR)
are so unhappy that they are withholding their $$$?
Let's say it's 1200. That's 1% of the 120K number you quote above. Let's
say that Pentax gets $500 US per DSLR. That's $600K in lost revenue this
fiscal year. Let's say that Pentax takes a $50 profit per camera. That's
$60K in lost earnings this fiscal year. Not a very big number, is it?
