Oh my god, that's one of the worst charts I have ever seen! When is it from, 2004?
(Not your fault -- Pentax Canada is engaging in commercial malpractice having that available on the web!)
The newest cameras on that list are the *ist D and DS, which are OLD.
You'll see "K-series" on the table, but that DOES NOT refer to the recent K100, K100 super, K110, K200, K10, K20, K-m, K2000, or the current K-7 or K-x.

Jeez, that's awful even by Pentax marketing standards.
