or the usual reason - a new model is on the way.
I bought my K200D cheap because the K7 was about to be released, then bought the K7 cheap because the K5 was about to be released. Mind you, even if there's a new model coming out (and hopefully there always will be), the K1 is a very capable camera. Come on - where's all those people who were complaining endlessly about needing a FF body? Or have they already bought one? As for me, I like the extra reach I get with the K3 and the DFA 150-450, even is it's somewhat illusory.
