Maybe the 110 SLR was a joke, but they sold a lot of them, especially
in Japan.  Pentax make the best performing APS-C dSLR at the moment,
and their lenses are stellar.  The 645d is awesome.  All their
products are slightly oddball and they have a strong following because
of this.  Don't buy it if you don't want one, but I both hope and bet
they sell plenty, especially in Japan.
