From Newsline International
Pentax Corp. focuses on DSLR development
Hitoshi Sasaki who leads Japanese sales of Pentax digital cameras at a recent press conference made remarks regarding Pentax Corp. sales policies this year, reports JPEA International PEN News Weekly.
"We will keep focusing on DSLR as we did last year," Sasaki said. "The segment will demand not only the cameras but also interchangeable lenses and accessories, contributing much to the expansion of sales and profits. The lens line will further be enriched this year. In the "Optio" series compact cameras, we will review the lineup where models under ¥30,000 (US$270) are the mainstream to upgrade overall lineup. The approach may be made in terms of product development and sales strategy."
Sasaki contined: "As for Hoya/Pentax merger, the Pentax brand remains unchanged and scale of the company has been enlarged. The new parent company may ask for higher profit ratio and we will make due efforts in that direction, centering on DSLR. We may not pursue larger quantity but will try to make our customers satisfied with attractive products."

The previous Dicain grip did not have power but did have a built in remote trigger in the grip. The Ownuser grip that is still available has power and trigger.
:confused:

The store in Ames IA (Walden Photo) is a good proponent of Pentax equipment. Seven years ago my wife and I stopped in to get a SLR. And they steered us to a ZX-30. It suited our needs better than C or N and it was cheaper. That is where I bought my DS before my son was born. They do the very same thing now with the K series bodies when they can get them in stock. So far none of the big indy dealers in Des Moines stocks Pentax, as of last summer, they have justed laughed at me in the past when I have inquired. Stopped by a store in Terre Haute, IN before Christmas with my mother who lives on the IL side near there. Galloway Photo: Digital and Film Cameras and Related Accessories is the website. They had boxes and boxes of K10D's and Supers behind the counter. They said they have been having difficulty in betting new bodies recently and have resorted to calling other indy stores and getting stock from them. They too steer first time buyers to Pentax. They actually had both DA*'s in stock but I didn't have the nerve to ask the guy to see them on the K10D.
