K200D price is too optimistic, they will have to lower it at least to current Nikon D40x price. Otherwise this camera won't sell.
Yes, it is just like the introduction of the K10D, that camera was places higher but Canikon did a better job for less. So Pentax had to lower their price(so their proffits).
The same thing is happening again with the K20D.
Even the new Canon 450D has a higher fps count and I bet a better AF system(it looks like the same system as used in the 40D).
Sensor performance is unknown yet, but I can't imagine that it is bad, Canon has a good reputation in that respect
