Here's my list-

Landscape, studio, and all others, including, but not restricted to, sports and wildlife...

You see, Pentax has a deserved reputation for being a value leader. Excellent products for the $$. But there are many, I suspect, that would gladly pay more for a higher performing camera. I would, and if Pentax can't offer it soon, I'll have to switch brands, reluctantly. January will be crunch time for me.

I think we are talking about two different cameras. The one I'm referring to would be the K20D. You on the other hand want what I would think would be a K1D, more like the Nikon D300. It would be outstanding if Pentax were able to launch both of these models in January but that is asking a lot. An announcement of a K1D by mid to late summer seems more realistic. I would expect this model to be bigger and more expensive, $1500 to $1800? It would seem to me they need to do the K20D first.
