Everybody on these forums seems to want a K20d replacement but it actually makes much more sense (*) to upgrade the k200d.
1. Both (k20 and k200) were introduced together last year, and the higher end models tend to have a longer cycles.
2. The k200 is weirdly placed at the moment and Pentax would probably want to lift their prices a bit.
3. A k300 at a higher price would interfere with the k20, but both are after different targets and many would choose newer+smaller over older+more features (as in K-m vs. k200).
4. Incidentally, Pentax recently introduced this new reabate scheme that apparently resulted in increased price for the k20. How convenient. ;-)
And 5. The new k300 (or whatever it is named) will look really cool in white.
All this guaranteed 100% baseless speculations of course.
(*) then again, this is Pentax...
