Shel, The D200/18-200VR situation is an issue. The K10D isn't, but it could become one if Pentax made the same mistakes as Nikon. But the K10D is making very similar waves outside of the Pentaxian world to what the D200 (the first weather-sealed semi-pro DSLR in the sub-$2K market, replacing an old and slow semi-pro body that had been ecipsed by Nikon's consumer bodies) made last fall. Lots of people jumped on it. So I'm concerned that the same supply issues might happen to Pentax. If so, that would be an issue.
What I'm hoping for is that Pentax can at least mostly meet demand, and that demand is very strong. -Adam Shel Belinkoff wrote: > Sheesh, Adam - none of this has happened yet.
