At the end of the day either the 40D, D300, A700, E-3 and K20D is overkill for my uses too. I rarely need fast AF-FPS, I rarely shoot above ISO400 and I rarely print big. Pentax had the best value in bodies and old lenses. It had high quality equipment at, some times, ridiculous low prices and a compatibility with old lenses that above all things is what I like the most of Pentax. I just feel that the last products are not the best price/performance ratio any more and they are actually quite far from being it, but at least, the compatibility remains untouched. Saying that, and before critics arise, I do think that the K20 is a tremendous camera. I only think that it has some gaps that make the price look to high to me.
