has the manufacturing of the pentax k10d stopped?
Posted by admin | Under Pentax K20D Tuesday Mar 9, 2010because the k20d has been launched. (i bought the k10d about a month ago)
Probably, but I also just bought one as I could not wait for the K20D to become available.
I don’t see it as problem. All the lenses etc are the same and Pentax have teh best track record of keeping their equipment compatible over many genrations of models.
I still use early 1970’s Pentax Takumar lenses on my K10D so I would not worry about the new model.
If any thing the K10D and now the K20D are attracting the attention of third party lens makers such as Tamron, Sigma and even the legendary Carl Zeis to produce more lenses for Pentax K mount systems.
Enjoy and take pictures
I believe so, but the K10D is still in stock in most retail outlets.
Don’t dwell on it, the K10D is a fine camera and your end result (your photos) would be identical regardless of which model you have.

Yes, Pentax has discontinued the K10D. There are some in stock at various resellers though.
