Originally posted by janneman IIRC when the K20D was introduced it was clearly "stated" in rumors that the biggest change from K10D to K20D would be in the sensor area, that for upgrades on everything else we had to wait for the next model.... Seems to have happened.
But is this that "next"model or wil we see a K "30"D - like camera as well.
(OTOH chronologicallyspeaking the K2000D/KMD was the next one. Whatever, justas confused as you are)
How many changes were there to the K20's hardware besides the sensor?
I'm not confused...I have some opinions on what's next from Pentax...
Originally posted by Art Vandelay II Is there any chance of Rice High being wrong about that? My only real interest in the K-7 was the rumor of the "special" view finder, but if 100% and .92x is all that it has then I really wish I wouldn't have gotten my hopes up. The D300 has had 100% and .94x for over a year now....and 1/250th flash sync to boot. HDR mode is nice, as well as video mode, but I'm not seeing anything that is worth a month of "leaks" and hype.
It sure is a pretty little camera, and I'd love to have one with a set of pancake limiteds, but man; I really wanted a VF that would rival FF.
So you would buy a $1500 camera just for the viewfinder? Do you also shop for cars by color?
Why not wait a couple days till there are actual picture
from the camera, mmmkay? You waded into this thread yourself. Watching a month's worth of leaks were your prerogative.
Originally posted by Torphoto There K7 is said NOT to be the K20D replacement ( Pentax interview some time ago ) and that there is a K200 level camera in the works that will be in the K200d's bracket. The K7 is different and a K200D replacement will fall into the K20D's range spec wise so the line up will look like this
K7 ( top of range ) K300D ( fitting in the K20D's bracket ) K/m
K-7 at the top
Bump the Kx00D up a little in features (making it further from the Kx000 in price, especially)
Give the Kx000 video and it stays to compete with the Canon T1i and Nikon D5000
IMO
