Is it true the KM Maxxum 7 is discontinued? Anybody know anything about this?

I hadn't heard about that camera being discontinued. I don't see why they'd do that. It's a very, very popular camera. I checked the US Web site and it's still listed: http://kmpi.konicaminolta.us/eprise/main/kmpi/content/cam/cam_Product_Pages/Maxxum_7
