I just went over to the Canon museum and had a poke around there. They list 19 DSLR cameras in their museum, and another 4 current models that haven't been updated into the museum (providing I can count that high with accuracy). Granted, they were early into DSLR cameras, with their first camera being released in 1995. By comparison, Pentax has really only released 4 DSLR cameras (and a few knock-offs of one of them) in 3 years. It was bound to happen though, that as the technology matured, it would filter down to us in the form of a spurt of product replacements. As long as Pentax stays with real changes when they introduce new cameras, rather than essentially rebadging present models, I don't have too any problems with a new upscale camera coming out every year or so. Whether I buy it or not is something else. I tend to be a lens junkie, not a camera junkie.
