Rather interesting situation....
K-r must had the replacement on September, 2011 - 1 year cycle
K-5 must had the replacement on November-December, 2011 - 1.5 year cycle
K-r is discontinued officially (see japanese pentax site)
K-5 is almost discontinued
(or discontinued non-official)
I don't remember such situation before - no any new DSLR announcement, but old cameras are discontinued.
K-r's replacement delay is 3 month. K-5 is almost 2 month.
Today is January, 11, 2012. No any good rumors, no any news...CES is opened tomorrow...
Only Pentax Q and Pentax 645D are in production....
