It certainly won't drop that low before its successor comes out.

How low did the K10D get at retail before it was unavailable?

rdrum76 · 12-20-2008, 10:31 PM

how quickly did the k10s run after the K20 hit the market?

K10Ds were around for a little bit post K20D, but Pentax first slashed them to $500 after rebate to clear the stock.

The remaining new in box ones were actually raised.

This was probably to protect the K200D, which the K10D was better in almost every way.

The K200D never made sense to me. Why not just slash the K10D to $500 permanent and sell the K20D simultaneously.

Anyway for me, the price is $500-525 shipped to my door including taxes.

If not that price, I will wait for a K30D, and buy a second K10D for $300 used!

Quite honestly I am happy with the K10D, and don't see any huge advantages to the K20D, so I'm holding out as long as possible. Plus, I truly believe after Christmas is going to be a huge buyers market when retialers and ebayers realize they are holding a lot of stock!
