Wow, where? I couldn't find it on the Pentax site, and google doesn't know about it.

Enquiring minds and all that

Thanks.

Yes, very similar to the EI-2000.

Differences at a glance: no ISO25 mode, Dark frame subtraction, extra white balance modes (and of course, the bigger CCD).

Who says that this camera is available? Last year the EI-2000/HP 912 did not get on the market until October when it was announced in February.

I'll have to agree. I called Pentax Canada and they informed me that the EI-2000 would not be available in the U.S. or Canada until at least August 2001.

I have been told by Pentax that the EI3000 will be available in the Uk in June. the EI2000 has been available for about a year here in Britain, sorry, do not know anything about the US.

Informations about EI 3000 should be available since may, 23th.
Does anybody know anything new?

I contacted Pentax yesterday regarding the EI3000 and they confirmed it had been delayed indefinitely, and that dashes my hopes for a better camera,

I have been told by my Pentax sales rep that HP and PENTAX are no
longer an item and that the EI - 3000 will not be available, at least not
through Pentax. However, Pentax is coming out with their "ultra-compact"
3.3MP/3x zoom camera this summer, when (June,July,August??) and how
much are the big questions. Hopefully, June and around $900.CDN.
That would be nice.

With regards to Bob Jones and Henry's posts:
Yes the EI3000 has been discontinued but the PENTAX OPTIO 330
camera is coming out soon, as we ordered 2 of them today. The
PENTAX OPTIO 330 is a small camera (smaller than the S300) that
is a 3.34 MP camera with a 3X zoom and will be priced around the
$999 CDN (before tax) mark.
For some more info, see my post: "new info on PENTAX OPTIO 330".

Regards,
Jack
PS: Hopefully, someone from Pentax reads this and decides to send
a PENTAX OPTIO 330, to Mr. Phil Askey, who, hopefully, be pleased
with it and give it a favourable review.

All I am doing is changing the "subject" title, hopefully for the benefit of
all potential Pentax purchasers out in http://www.dpreview.com land.
