IMO, the K-r will be a tough seller for Pentax until the price comes down. The 14MP 1080p HD Nikon D3100 was just released at $699. More megapixels and better HD for $200 less. Yikes.

You should loo0k at the ISO performance of the D3100, not very good verus what we start to see for the K-R

ISO doesn't look bad for the price point. Can't really tell all that well from the sample photos.

They actually had a DA 35mm in stock? Wait, you actually have a local story that has anything Pentax in stock? I'd be using it on the K200d.

However, I got a F 28/2.8 a couple of weeks ago.
