Originally posted by Adam The point-and-shoots have had a 1-year life cycle for the most part, so it's not surprising on its own, but I guess if you combine it with the fact that there's nothing new/current, then it might be a little bit alarming.
What a way to do their first big show after buying Pentax.
1. K-r is listed as discontinued by B&H, their biggest retailer in the USA.
2. Rumors of the K-5 production ending.
3. One of their best selling Optic models (WG1)discontinued without a replacement announced.
4. Their side door to their meeting room being next to the bathroom with a big pentax sign next to a door with a big bathroom sign above it. Along with a Pentax welcome mat.
5. A both where no visitors has mentioned any products being shown. I am guessing there must be a few products there, but no visitor to the booth has mention products.
6. The only mention of a potential new product was one that was quickly hidden away when a person was going to visit the booth.
The performance of Pentax/Ricoh at PMA@CES really does not excite me into buying anthing Pentax. In fact it makes me want to hold off purchasing Pentax products.
Way to go for their first big show as PRIC.
