K-3 II discontinued

According to this B&H chat today, Oct 2, 2019, the K-3 II has been discontinued. Oddly, the agent thinks the new KP is the replacement.

Dan W: Hello. My name is Dan and I will be happy to assist you. Please give me a few moments to look into your inquiry.

Dan W: Unfortunately the item you are asking for was discontinued by the manufacturer. We have sold out all of our stock and we can not get this item anymore.

Dan W: Just a moment please while I check for the nearest replacement...Dan W: The K-1 is the replacement: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1391311-REG/pentax_15994_k_1_mark_ii_...981& W: Sorry, that might not be correct.Dan W: Just a moment please while I check again...

Dan W: Sorry, it would be the KP: Pentax KP DSLR Camera (Body Only, Black) 16018 B&H Photo Video

This has been known for a long time. deadhorse

The KP is indeed the top APS-C available at the present time. A new flagship APS-C has been shown but not yet officially announced...

Oh … must be a new APS-C on the way

Welcome to the Forums, Dan. The new camera should be worth waiting around for.

Oh come on. Doesn't inane banter discrediting old news, albiet a >technically< correct state of current affairs, count as a legitimate thread?

Post count and all, 'ya know.

My K-3 was discontinued before your K-3 II and it's just fine.

OK guys, I've learned my lesson. I posted my first comment ever on this forum, and now wish I had not.

Sorry I don't know what some of you already knew, so in order to avoid looking stupid in future I'll hang back in the shadows.

Maybe I should re-convert back to Canon?
