There seems to be differing opinions about the possible name of the next more capable Pentax camera. Another thread here, for example, suggests the name K20D for a camera with capabilites greater than the K10D. However, since Pentax seems to be numbering their cameras in reverse (numbers decreasing as capabilities increase, the K10D more capable than the K100D), wouldn't the next more capable camera more likely be named the K5D, or even K1D?

Since each Pentax currently has a one in the number, doesn't that favor K1D over K5D? Or if the next camera is a K5D, would that suggest the possibility of another, even more capable, model sometime down the road (both a K5D and an eventual K1D)? What are the odds of two new more capable Pentax models? And how do you think features might break down between the two? All that should certainly be some food for thought.
