I'm surprised that Pentax was that high on the list.

I'm not actually surprised, if you look at the K-3[II]'s, more or less, 
direct competition, it stacks up rather nicely.


I'm a little surprising thing is that the K-50 isn't in the top 10, at 
it's current price it's a steal.


I'm also surprised that for all the hype about mirrorless that there are 
only a couple of them in the top 10 sellers.

I'm sure. But I'm guessing that if you took a screen shot of their
page and then ordered a K-3 from them on that basis, that you could
cause them a little grief when, upon delivery, you "discovered" that
it didn't have the Pixel Shift Resolution and built-in GPS/AstroTrack
that they clearly SAID it did. They might even have to give you a K-3
II in exchange for the K-3 price. It's a pretty humongous error for
someone who should be familiar with what they are selling
(particularly one in their Top 10),

They probably consider the K-3 and the K-3II to be pretty much the same 
camera.  I don't know how much of that's true, since there may be 
serious hardware differences inside.

I don't consider the 645z to be Pentax's top of the line camera, because 
Pentax has three lines of inter changeable lens cameras in current 
production, and the z is the top of one of them.  The K-3II is the top 
of another and I'll be damned if I know what the top Q camera is called 
now, or if more than one model is current.

I'm just not feeling that logic.

And I think the 645Z is their top-of-the-line camera.
