But Pentax overdid it with the > K10D. The K10 came onto the market at a price drop, and they just continued the process. It makes sense in a way, since if the price is percieved to be on the high side, people will put off the purchase until after they drop the price. OTOH, it makes one wonder what is the point of supporting the company by buying early, when all the thanks the early adaptor gets is a warm feeling, knowing that they are, effectively, being ripped off by price gouging when the product first comes out.
