Pentax K-5 and Q Price Drops


We read this news on the PentaxForums:

Despite the fact that the new mid-range Pentax K-30 was already priced very close to Pentax's flagship from 2010, the price of the Pentax K-5 keeps on dropping.  The K-5 is now available for $879 at B&H Photo and other major retailers, which represents a $20 drop over the old price of $899, which earlier fell from $919.

We are keeping our fingers crossed that this price drop doesn't mean that the K-5 is being discontinued, but rather that the price of the K-30 will also drop, and that the K-5 will be replaced by a very high-end APS-C successor.  We expect this successor to be unveiled at the Photokina trade show in September, which we will be covering live and in-person!

In addition: Consider this the deal of the day- the Pentax Q kit can now be had for $399- the price it should have launched at!

My bet is that both models are about to be eliminated from their product line.
