This problem might me unique to my city of slightly less than a million in a small market (Canada) but in case it isn't I'll ask my question. It was never easy to get your hands on Pentax gear in my local B & M stores but I could always go a visit a demo in a store before I decided to make a purchase. Now it seems that none of my local stores carry ANY Pentax gear and all orders must be paid for in advance and in most cases are non-returnable. It seems to me if I were just starting out and were presented with 3 brands of DSLR - 2 in stock and 1 that required to be ordered (2-4 week wait), that required to be paid for in advance and be non-refundable, I know I'd be giving the other boys some serious consideration. Don't get me wrong I love my Pentax gear, but I am finding it harder and harder to buy new when no one carries it locally. So my question is - is this unique to small market Canada or is it happening in other places? Is this decision made by the stores or by Pentax? Finally If it is coming from Pentax, then what plans does Pentax have to encourage new users to the brand and existing users to buy new gear when the stock is no longer in stores?
Thanks,
Stevi
