It takes a special kind of idiot to find the PDML, as opposed to the normal
kind of idiot that buys a Canon Rebel on the advice of a minimum wage
earning drone at Best Buy.

When I bought my *ist-D the local, (30 miles away local, but the only
surviving). Camera store still carried Pentax. So I actually got to hold
one and try one out before I bought. The more or less local Ritz camera
store, actually had a K10D and a number of lenses in stock, but was even
further away, (gone now and not much lamented). I have no idea how
Pentax expects to gain market share especially as you can see Nikon and
Canon products in pretty much any big box store.

I went over to Costco this afternoon to buy my 2013 supply of toilet
tissue.
They had a big mound of Nikon D600 kits (two lenses - 24-85 & 70-300 +
some wireless plugin device) that caught my eye.
I browsed around a bit & there were other Nikons DSLRs, bridge cameras
(those things that look like a DSLR, but don't have interchangeable
lenses) & point 'n shoots.
Ditto for Canon & Sony.
It was pretty obvious Costco was selling them. A guy was restocking one
the mounds of the Canon DSLR kits while I was there.
No Pentax K-01, K-5 (any flavor), K-30 or WG-1 kits in the store.
Nothing to suggest Pentax even exists anymore, much less that Costco
actually sells them.
I just don't understand how Pentax can expect to attract new users
without cameras in the stores to attract buyers to the Pentax brand.
I was really tempted by the D600 kit. American Express upped my credit
limit last month. The only thing that really held me back was my
determination not to make ANY major purchase before 2013. Plus I really
do want to wait & see if Pentax will introduce a camera I want to buy.
I waited a long time for Pentax to finally introduce the *ist-D. I can
probably wait a bit longer to see if they will ever introduce another
camera I want to buy.
I just don't know if I'm going to live that long.
