Originally posted by Ash Will, this would be the big question, as the next step in my mind would be to find a true K20D successor (considering the K-7 being a new conceptual camera altogether rather than a K20D replacement).
I also see the K-x more of a K-m upgrade, and another step is missing in the mid-range level...
So for me a K30D, K300D announcement would be music to my ears...
Ash,
Interesting. You think I've got the genealogy lines (so to speak) mixed up, then? I admit that I did forget about the K-m, which never really made an impression on me.
So what would a K30D look like? I'm really having trouble imagining it.
Of course I can't really figure out what the Nikon D300's raison d'etre is, either. Specs of the D300 are nearly identical to the specs of the D90 (D300 has a 1/8000th sec shutter, twice as fast as the D90, and has a faster fps rate, but the D90 does video, so it seems like a wash - especially considering the D300 is several hundred dollars more expensive).
I don't see a point in Pentax releasing another camera right now that is only incrementally better than the K-7. A year from now, of course. I recognize that you have to keep releasing new products and they don't have to be dramatically better than the products they're replacing.
So, is there a K30D in the pipeline? And what will it be like?
Will
