I dont agree, when better products come out it often doesn't matter that even cheaper ones can still be made. Look at the digital P&S market, there are virtually no more 1.3, 2.0 & 3.0 Mpixel models left at all, even though they would be cheaper than the current bottom line 4 Mp models. The market drives these discontinuations, EVEN if it's cheaper to make and sell the smaller lower Mp sensors. jco

And actually it won't affect Pentax. Any "full-frame" bodies would be much more expensive, and therefore in a separate market segment that Pentax doesn't address. Canon would suffer from the competition, not Pentax.
