Originally posted by benjikan What if Pentax had not upgraded to the K20D when it did and offered a K10D Mkll when the K20D was launched and the K20D was launched at the up and coming Photokina in a few days, would our perception of Pentax have changed. "Wow, a 14.6 MP camera with a new sensor. Better AF and SR. Wow better noise floor, etc, etc. Geez, the K20D has not even been out for a year yet and we expect a radical change in 9 months.
Just my 2 cents worth.

You're not wrong Ben. I'm amazed at how many people just can't find enough in the K20D. Many are the folks who won't even get the most from it, yet "need" other things in a "better" camera.
For photokina I see:
1) an entry level DSLR, smaller and lighter for the traveller/one-lens, a night out on the town type thing. K20D Super? Could be, could be called something else.
2) A pre-production of a model above a K20D, near production model early 09.
3) A "still in development" 645D.
4) The DA*60-250, DA*30/1.4 and DA*55/1.4.
So that's this Ben's 2 cents
Let's see how many i get right.
