Originally posted by Simen1 I don't think its the selling rate that limits sales. I think its the production rate that limits. Why sell 7000 1800$ cameras if they can sell 7000 2800$ cameras in stead?
If that is the case, it will be the best position any business would want to be in
. Selling rate is based on the price and while K-1 commanded a waiting line last years (and we know why!) it is not exactly the same. Price has stayed high and some of the used K-1s are not moving due to their high price. It is now more than a year .. long enough for any company to increase production volumes if there are demands.

Originally posted by monochrome They really don't have enough market share. The price would need to undercut 610 ($1,400), which would undercut the Pentax APSc flagship and I don't see them doing a 24Mp 6.5 fps FF to compete w/ 750 either.
There is a good market for that price range, used D610s are going around $900. If Pentax came in around $1200 to compete with D610, they should be able to get a share of that. Instead they have chosen to get the KP in that price range, let us see what happens to it
