Pentax Kr discontinued, help!

I am trying to save up for the Pentax Kr and I have now been told it's discontinued.

I hope to get it in January but I am worried I won't be able to get it. Is it a good idea to buy it off of Amazon?

It's a lot of money so I am a bit worried, has anyone else bought things like this off of Amazon? Thanks.

That's the one Aura, sorry if I didn't make it clear. I emailed Pentax about the same thing. Their reply was that the K-r was not being discontinued and is still in production. I only bought mine four or five days ago. I hope this sets your mind.

They certainly know how to rile up their customers.

You can always buy a SH one on here (with receipt)that was originally supplied by SRS and SRS will transfer what remains of the 24 month
Warranty to you, because you are a member of this forum. Or buy SH
off SRS with whatever guarantee they give on SH cameras.

The Kr doesn't seem to suffer from many faults and is very
reliable.
