It hadn't occurred to me that the K200D and this mythical K2000D would appeal to the same market segment. Every other DSLR manufacturer has (at least) three model tiers: Canon seems unconcerned that this new XS will cut into XSi sales; Nikon has had great success with their relatively tiny entry-level models; Sony has the A350/A200 entry-level units along with the mid-range A700; and Olympus pushes the compactness of the E-420 without apparent concern that there won't be interest in the E-520.
So, in response to your question, I expected that if Pentax had any intention of doing what their competition has done regarding the offering of current generation entry-level models, that Bunnell would be more than eager to report that Pentax intended to offer just such a thing.
But you may be right: maybe Bunnell is just putting on a poker-face to conceal what's really in the works. He has, however, successfully bluffed me, and that may result in me taking my camera-buying dollar (near-worthless as it is at present) to another table.
If that turns out to be the case, I hope I'm the only one to get fooled.
