Well, obviously you can call it whatever you like, but the question remains, how reasonable is that label? I mean, I might call the K-x "way too overpriced", and compared to a cardboard disposable camera it is, but I think most would agree you are actually getting something for the money with the K-x. And the fact that everyone else's comparable cameras cost at least as much makes any claim that the K-x is "way too overpriced" rather suspect.
So sure, one can claim the the DA40 (or any other DA Limited) is "way too overpriced", in the same way one can claim the K-x is. But if one wants to defend that claim against any sort of objective analysis, you'd need *something* to go on.
The current B&H price on the DA40 is $340, and FWIW, I think it's worth every penny of that.
