I do not think the popularity of K100/10D came from the price point only, which BTW is pretty compatible with competitions, depending on which to compare. I would say they put an "honest" pricing. In Tatamy's interview, he is saying that they anticipated a good sales of K10D but because it is still a sub grand camera, they never thought it would exceed the sales of K100D. He is also telling how they prioritized the cost distribution (which feature to spend money on etc). So, overall, I do not believe it was a price-competition model. Sounds like this was the result of sound engineering and honest pricing :-). Ken -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
