I didn't "dismiss as 'never going to happen'" anything. I said that new product shortages haven't happened to Pentax on the K10D yet, and that it had happened to Nikon on the D200, so why grouse about something that is a potential problem for any manufacturer and which has NOT happened yet.
Sheesh. Why not be optimistic for a moment, celebrate the anticipation that this will be a fine camera, and reserve judgement that Pentax folks have thought about and tried to predict with some realism the expected demand for the camera. And then grouse about it if/when it appears that they have mis-estimated the demand and you have to wait for yours to show up? Particularly if you're not scrambling to put in a pre-order because you need it for an assignment tomorrow, it seems overmuch to worry about the possibility of delays. Myself, even if mine came in tomorrow I'd likely be a little reluctant to carry it on my trip to the UK in two weeks as I won't have had enough time with it to really depend upon it yet. I'd probably carry it AND my trusty DS body so that I know I'd be able to accomplish what I plan to.
