It's not the retailers that decide intial pricing. That would be the manufacturer.

You make a valid point. There are many shops however where they receive "kick backs" or some other reward for selling one manufactures product as opposed to another.
Shopping at a store where the sales person is free to recomend any camera ( tools, etc. )they think is right for the customer is important to me.

I don't think it's "not telling the whole story" at all. It depends greatly on the sales person. Certainly you do not object to offering the customer accesories ( memory cards, camera bag, etc.).
As far as "service plans" or a "warranty" or whatever the store may call it goes...it's up to the sales person to answer coverage questions honestly and be realistic with the customer. If the customer buys it...great. If not....whatever. There are camera sales where I have agreed it was not in the customers best interest to purchase coverage. I have seen many people walk out of my store with a shiney new camera because they had coverage. Just an observation.

While it's true the salesperson can influence decisions ( depending on how well they sell ) I find when I sell a DSLR most people have done their homework.
I do not work on comission so I am free to speak my mind and offer the customer the camera I think is right for them. I think that "Joe Smith" may very well be drawn to the K20 by the value.
I can see how some would find it hard to upgrade to a K20 from a K10. I myself have a ist*DS2 and if I had the money to do so I would more than likely be buying one this summer.:D

I just discovered this forum and it's great. I am very much a beginner and enjoy photography as a hobby. I have a Pentax ist Ds2 that I am enjoying very much. I have so much to learn and I am hoping this is the place to learn it. :lol: I keep very busy with my work and my 16 month old so finding time to get out and take photos is tough. My family and my car are a couple of my favorite subjects to photgraph. I currently have only two lenses. The standard Pentax 18-55 that was a part of the Ds2 package and a Pentax-FA SMC 80-200. I value imput from those that know more than I do so feel free to comment my posts.
Thanks!
