I bet only the K1D will have this even if Pentax decide to re-introduce this later on, as the K20D still lacks it.

If I were Pentax, I just introduce a super simple DSLR, just like a K1000 but with also AF and basic AE modes, but re-include full spec K-mount and legacy TTL support, this body must be selling like hot cake - at least for the millions of old K-mount users like us over the world.

They simply can call this new super simple and cheap DSLR to be K1000D, I'm sure it will sell as well as the K1000 used to be.
