It's not a "little bit" for my current financial state.
Anyway, at least Pentax intends to follow through with the precedent they set with the K200D, which is weather-sealed combos at lower price points. I had thought Olympus would get there first, seeing how their 14-54 is sealed and widely available for $400 (at least the 1st version). They only needed the body for it. Now Pentax will beat them to the punch, with the K-7 in tow for high end and the K20D available at low prices, with K200D stocks still available in some stores. Here's guessing those new WR kit lenses will help sell a few more K20D and K200D bodies than expected.
