Despite my concerns of buying an unproven product, I put a down payment on a K10D and D-BG2 Battery Grip yesterday. The photo retailer my body and grip is ordered from has 4 locations in southwest British Columbia. Their first K10D shipment has a total of 20 bodies and probably about 5 battery grips to be divided between the 4 locations. I think that these will all be pre-sold before the company receives them from Pentax. -- David S.
