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. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
