If Wal-Mart's rules are similar to Home Depot's (I used to work for them) I can 
not blame Pentax. Take anything back no questions, all spiffs go to the store as 
discounts (not to the sales people), wholesale prices lower than any other 
customer, no cutomer service by the stores (except exchanges and refunds), 
outdated merchandize taken back for full credit, etc.

You don't see Nikon's professional cameras in Wal-Mart either. Nikon expects 
their dealers for such to have a certain amount of knowledge about what they are 
selling (as I assume does Pentax). Canon on the other hand only requires that 
the dealer can meet minimum order requirements which is why you see high-end 
Canon cameras in many more places than you do the other brands.

Yes, they even list the *ist-D with 16-35mm lens on the web.  But the 
Digital Rebel is in their retail stores.
  

As is the least-expensive Optio model. Why not the other
stuff?
