Far as I can tell, Pentax is holding their own for the present with
no indication that they are considering dropping out of the DSLR market.
If you already have a fair investment in Pentax lenses and flash
units, the additional cost of a DSLR body is not that enormous. The
*ist DS2 and DL bodies doesn't cost that much in DSLR terms and are
both good performers.

out of the DSLR market soon. What does everybody else hear.
