    They might have some problem with tsunamies and flooding as the rest of the camera business. There are good chances there are a new camera ready for production when things settles and productionproblem might aswell be the reason for the discontinued K-r.

      Yup but a lot of factorys making parts for the camera industry are affected so Pentax might got into problems with lack of parts.
      Just a guess. ;)

    The successor to K-r should have been presented last September. The takeover by Ricoh delayed that.

      “Delayed” is better than “inexistance”.

    I think it’s just the body. Probably not really discontinued. It’ll be a few months.
