| I have been driving around in the Phoenix area looking for one locally. That was after they were available on the West Coast for a day or two.
Circuit City: K10D? Huh? Whats that?
Best Buy(2 stores):No we don't carry Pentax at all. (Still had an *ist D laying around for 1699 a few month ago!)
Ritz Camera (2 stores): No clue if we going to carry it. Special order only. Maybe. Why not buy a K100D?
Photo-mark: Maybe around Dec 10th. Didn't really know.
Foto Forum: Actually had 2 of them, but were pre-ordered and waiting to be picked up. At least I saw it.
Later found out that Tempe Camera obviously had 1 or 2 in stock, but I can't stand that place so I didn't even try to go there.
Now since this Christmas Shopping madness has started I am not even going anywhere close to a Mall or large electronic store until January. By then all the banding issues and noise may have been discussed to death and normality will hopefully return to the Pentax world. |
