Originally posted by jms698 With all the talk of the K-r and K-5 there seems to be a gap in Pentax's offering. Where is the mid-range camera successor to the K200d. A K-r would suit my need just fine (upgrading from a K20d for better high-iso and AF), but I sure which it had weather sealing. A K300d model would fill that gap quite nicely.
Has anyone heard anything about such a model?
Weather sealing is now being reserved for their top line models. If you want it, you will need to pay for it. The same for a top LCD. A top LCD and small form factor do not mix. For most shooters, a top LCD is unnecessary. If you find it necessary, be prepared to spend more to satisfy your needs.
K-7 or K-5 are your models.
