In the Black Friday deals on

pentax DSLR| B&H Photo Video

at 5.55am ET,
the black Q with 8.5mm prime is "discontinued,"
while the white one is "temporarily out of stock."

I think it's been discontinued for a while- but it's weird that there's no Q10 prime hit (and that it's so expensive compared to the K-01!)

I also found it weird that the white kit was only "temporarily out of stock."

Not really so weird if you have watched the Groupon sales which list the number of each variation that has sold. The Q has been on $349 and now $299 deep discount sales for over a month. By a huge margin the Black has outsold the White and oddly the Prime has sold incredibly well in those sales. I expected the Black + 01 to go first.
