Isn't the K-5 almost two years old. These days you need to cycle your products faster than the old days. If they start marketing like the Number 1 camera company they will give it a new model number, put in a couple of firmware upgrades and release a "new" camera every 18-24 months.
Nobody wants to buy a camera that hasn't been "improved" in the last few months. gs George Sinos -------------------- [email protected] www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Sat, Apr 21, 2012 at 1:43 PM, Tom C <[email protected]> wrote: >> From: Christine Aguila <[email protected]> >> >> Why would Pentax discontinue a great camera like the K-5?
