But seriously, issue is not about products..Issue is about marketing..Young people need to be made aware of a brand called Pentax which can give them quality of a Canikon at much cheaper cost..

Agreed for the most part but :

* isn't the K200D already a lot less "underexposuring" than the K10D/K20D?

* I doubt Pentax will put anything else than the Sony 10Mpix CCD into the K2000D. The Samsung 14.7Mpix or derivate with Liveview would be excellent but somehow I doubt it...
