Originally posted by ogl Where is SR switch on body of K-m?
They probably moved it to the menu. To be honest, I think many people don't turn SR on and off all that much...

It's pretty simple - I recall reading in an interview the target market for the K10 was existing Pentax users in the older age brackets. They just plain *need* to get people in the ground floor. I'm 23, and I chose my Pentax after some research, and talking with my father about camera brands (he is a Pentax user from way back). I had to practically fight a salesperson to buy my K100 (they were dead set on selling me a D40). They need to get the brand into the minds of a new generation, or they'll lose their brand image forever.
A "Pro" camera won't do this - market volumes are too low. Before they can sell a pro camera they need a userbase to sell it to!
