Yes, but they are still in business. They will just reorganize. The istDL is a 6 mpxl camera with pretty good high iso quality. I used to use mine at 3200 with very acceptable results. Also, it works with IR filters a 1000 percent better than the K10/K20. It also does really good B&W's. It is significantly smaller and lighter than the K10/20 versions as well.
