I agree, the prices on the low end pentax cameras are too high, if they wan't to compete in that area they need to have prices that will attract the customers, having a K2000D thats cheaper than D40/60 and 450D wouldn't be a stupid idea, they could probably get a lot of new users that way. Probably more important for pentax to get a good following in that area of the market rather than the FF-fanatics area, Low-end DSLR sales generate more income than the high-end market, for each K20D nikon and canon has probably sold 6 or 7 40/60D and 450D's each. And then when the low-end user base is bigger and better they could go for the FF bullcrap, allthough I think thats just a waste of time.
