No istDS2 in some stores
Last evening I visited three stores to check prices and to possibly order an istDS2. Buydig and Beach Camera, and another the name of which I've forgotten, didn't list the camera as being available. Some other stores - more expensive generally - did show the camera in stock. Odd ... I'll have to call Buydig a little later to see what's up. Shel

I purchased a DS2 last Monday (should arrive today or tomorrow) and it was one of the last 10 that Pentax Canada had, not in stock at Pentax Canada but factory stock in the Philippines. They had no more on hand in Canada. So stock of DS2s in Canada is currently limited to what is on-hand in stores. I don't know if it's discontinued or just between production runs. But they were offering a $50 rebate in Canada if you bought one with a lens, which is usually the sign that they're getting rid of the last ones. -Aaron

Thanks for your thoughts on the matter ... I'm really getting frustrated with Pentax. The D2 was just recently released sigh Shel [Original Message] From: Aaron Reynolds On Feb 7, 2006, at 9:13 AM, Shel Belinkoff wrote: Last evening I visited three stores to check prices and to possibly order an istDS2.

I think part of it is the DL2 -- I really don't know how they compare, but the DL2 is 'newer'. I saw one press release that said the DS2 was back by popular demand -- meaning it's already been off the market once. I don't know what the sales numbers are like, but I'm sure there's no dedicated, full-time DS2 production line.

Wasn't it part of an image processing software trade? Pentax has a long history of trading technology, and it has made their products stronger. -Aaron -Original Message- From: Thibouille [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subj: Re: No istDS2 in some stores Date: Tue Feb 7, 2006 10:38 am Size: 1K To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net And then donated to Samsung?
