IMO in order to sell a lot of the product and grow their FF market share "fast" the $2000 is the perfect price.. For example the K3ii have the sensor shift technology, GPS, astrotracer.. the new K1 will have that too + articulated screen and ofcourse.. the sensor.. we dont know what the sensor is going to be but if they bring a 36mp sensor to a really attractive price this will help a lot for the camera to catch some market share. IMO Ricoh's strategy is clear, they are giving great bodies at really good prices ( K3: $630, K3ii: $730, KS2: $495 ). To place the K1 at $3000+ price is totally insane ( not because is not worth it but because Pentax actual situation againt Sony/Canikon ).
But ofcourse i could be wrong... i wouldnt expect nothing more than $2400.. and in case that it happens, price will drop fast ( same as happend with the 150-450 that came from $2500 to $1600 in a few months ).
