I know what you mean fototim
I bought the K10D for £600 in April 2007 but now its £479. knowing the the exchange rate between euros and Pounds 1299eur would be about £800, right into the sights of the 40D, but cheaper than the A700 and D300 (let alone the E-3). I suppose it depends on how Pentax want to be perceived. If logic is right and the existing cameras are made (unlikely) then the £800 for a K20D would be reasonable considering on what it potentially can do. However If Pentax do what they normally do, and totally replace the existing range, then £800 would be considered a little steep.
If I was Pentax I would keep the existing range to lure new users to the system, and keep the K20D as the piniccle of the range, with existing users, knowing what it can do, along with the rave reviews that it will surely get. (ala K10D) Knowing that the K20D is at least equal to the D300 (the current must have APS-C) but at a lesser price.
But that me, I am not in marketing. :-)
