Or will it have a new one?

Same sensor, upgraded processing. If you want a good idea of the basic spec look at the Sony A200, which I expect will be almost identical for basic specs (Same sensor, same generation image processing, same pricepoint). The Pentax will get Pentax-specific options like the Green button, Sv mode and AA batteries.

Would be nice if Pentax can shoehorn some sealing in there, but I guess at the price point it will be released in, that would be too much to ask, but it would certainly be a unique feature at that price point, if ever.

Thanks, interesting choice between the K10d and the K200d, especially with the rebate.

Would not be shocked to find it's dust-sealed. Not fully sealed though.
