I think it's in Pentax's favour to make the bodies the same. Certainly from a marketing aspect, I notice that all the poster ads that I see don't have the model tags on the cameras fronts.
From the pictures, I'm seeing almost identical body shapes to the K10d in the new K200d. I notice the Samsungs look identical too.
I can't wait to see it, I hope it's the same shell. The K10d fits me just great, I'd love to have shiny new insides.
The Pentax swoosh may get them closer to "It's a Pentax" market share yet.
P.S. The first message in the thread is a first for me. I'm a long time Pentax user, started with the Mz-5n (stolen), got a KX, Super Program, MZ-S, *ist D, now K10d (I can take pictures in bars now without flash!). I almost always have the k10d and da40(without lens cap!) strapped around my back and have recently learned I love street photography.
Sorry for the introduction, you're gonna have to get used to it with the new camera coming out and lurkers coming out as well.
