Why to you persist in labeling persons as pessimists when Pentax themselves said:
'However, although we cannot give you any specific figures, we were overwhelmed by far more than twice the pre-booking order qty of k100D. For example, a big chain store who pre-booked 300 units of K100D now gave us a pre-booking order of over 1,000 units. This is just in Japan but the market reaction in overseas market is much larger than that' - According to Ken's translation When people suspected, stated, found true that Pentax would have trouble meeting demand, it was not mere pessimism. It proved to be accurate. It's also accurate to conclude that if Pentax has trouble meeting demand, a certain % of sales may be forfeited. The fact that B&H, the pre-eminent specialty photography mail order dealer in the USA gets a supply in relatively short order, is not too surprising. And they are just one retailer, and it is just the 2nd wave.
