For anything to work as a loss leader, there must be something which will benefit from it. I applaud their effort to offer the value for money. Bear bone material cost of D50 is said to be about 9,850Yen (approx $100?). DSLR is a big money making business and no wonder everybody is trying to grasp the market share. Besides, Pentax are like BMW (not I terms of the prestige of the brand) in that they can make profit by a smaller scale production rather than N/C etc who are like Toyota and GM, scale is crucial.
