I rather like their current tack, given some of the other
possibilities -
like going out of business.
Its all about generating capital so they can stay in business, like
other
successful businesses.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a much larger % of Pentax users who
just want cheap equipment, and who don't really care if the company
remains viable enough to supply new equipment in 5-10 years.
It's why there was so much bitching and moaning when lens prices got
jacked up (though some real QC would be nice for what they are
charging now) and why the first thing many forum/ list members say
is that they'll wait until the price comes down before buying.
Some of us are waiting for our account balances to come "UP" from
other recent Pentax purchases before we grab us a K-7. All credit
cards must read $0.00 first. Say, four months from now, no matter the
price.
