They may be looking at a zero market situation in a few years time if the UK Gov make it illegal to own a camera and hence need to capture whatever cash they can now, before the event.
Anyone in London can try in the next few days or so and report back?

With the new law enforced last month concerning photography of Police, armed forces and Secret service staff being a criminal offence..

A good conspiracy theory if nothing else!

The ICO code : put that camera away, my face is private.
Not while CCTV cameras are active.
With respect to ignorance of the law and the public's idea of what is or is not allowable:

If you say so Bob. The professional quality that I produce can not be done with a 6mp point and shoot camera unless the only size photo you are satisfied with is a 4x6 print. You can do what ever you want to with these small files and you can not get a quality print at 11x14. You sure dont want to waste your time trying to get one to 16x20. This is why I fought off the digital era so long.

Either way I have 24" prints from a 6MP istD that are sharp for the correct viewing distance

It won't fit a K mount but it shows what figures can be achieved if deemed desirable.

Surely this depends on aperture more than focus speed. If you focus on say the stumps and then use a aperture such as f8 then everything is going to be in focus. Actual focus speed/tracking involves moving the camera and following an object
All this shows is that the fps is working ok.
This shot was tracked up to the point where they crossed.
My perception is that with the AF TC fitted, the 50-135mm is faster locking onto a subject than it is alone.
I thought it might be worth putting up a few shots to show what the machine gun mode can capture and to get some c&c.
I am not trying to sell Pentax AF speed. Other systems out perform Pentax for that, so if AF speed is the required, Pentax is not desired.
I never shoot at small apertures unless macro. I like isolation with compression as do the people who get the images.
When they say different, I shoot to suit.

JR has a solid point with regards to average wage.
We will not resolve the issue of price difference, however, the thread does highlight the individual views.
There ARE ways around buying from abroad at cheaper prices without paying silly fees or duty.
