UK GM interview..good news!

Is there a K-r replacement on it's way?

While I do not know timelines, it is inevitable that a camera company would introduce a replacement for a product that is profitable and selling well.

we will be looking to grow strongly in the Digital SLR market.

Can you elaborate on that at all?

To be competitive in the Digital SLR market you need a full range of cameras, for example Canon and Nikon have a range of 4 cameras from entry level to professional. I can't give any more details however as the timeframe for future products is unknown.
