I expect that B&H can sell all of the K-5s they get through their on
line adverts. Better to showcase something in print that they have a
lot of. So the K-r is almost always featured.

Wonder why it is that B&H ignores the K-5 in their photo magazine ads I've seen?
Adorama does not.

So the question becomes... why DOESN'T Pentax have a high-end presence
in Costco, Walmart, Best Buy, and other nationwide brick and mortar
stores? Just about the only retail presence I see is camera shops,
which typically are selling at close to MSRP, and which get a small
fraction of the traffic the above mentioned stores receive.
i know there's an argument that Pentax must come to the masses; if it happens,
it will be good for Pentax, but may be worse for certain types of users (Apple
as example), regardless of where the sales take place
personally, i have bought a few accessories at Denver Pro Photo (which is excellent if
you're in or near Denver, as long as your needs aren't Pentax-specific), but otherwise i
buy everything in this category online since the late 90s (B&H& Amazon primarily,
though i buy filters at 2filter.com and like small vendors when they are very good); well,
that and most of my lenses were from craigslist etc., and my first two adult SLRs (a
Mamiya& a Mniolta) were from the trash
i wonder if by the time Pentax gets back into meatspace stores that the segment
have become much less important

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
