but the new rebel is $800 and this camera will be ~$1500. People looking at the rebel toy will most likely not look at the k-7 even more so since it won't be at any best buy or whatever place they buy cameras...

that's right. further illustrating that the K-7 is going to be a rather niche product. neither entry consumer, nor pro, but top level amateur or that other seemingly oxymoronic term i saw on this thread, premium mid-range.

one might be tempted to call it luxury but its not. that's Leica. Pentax cameras, unlike many of today's Leicas, are meant to be used and used heavily.

Yes it does, the question is to what extent has it been, not if it has been.

I recall a thread with actual product shots of the K200 prior to its announcement. Everybody thought they were fake.

you know there was a thread on memory foam mattresses that lasted ...literally.. years (believe it was 5 or so). Even had birthday parties... so we got a ways to go.

No I thought so too, the K-7 was at least smudged out in CS4.
The photo was shot with the K20D and 31mm Limited or so the exif tells us
