• To attrack entry level customers I think the low pricing of K-x is great
  • They indeed might consider to invest in more glass and found out they love it and get addicted
• K-7 having significantly worse high-ISO performance than K-x is unhandy
  • I might have invested more in both lenses and body, but now for sure go for the K-x
• It would be smart to introduce a model above to K-7
  • With besides other features at least better High-ISO, but of course at significantly higher price, otherwise the K-7 is dead or drops close to the K-x price level
• It would also be smart to update the K-x (but timing depends on priorities)
  • Video specs are significantly worse compared to most direct competition the Canon EOS 550D, entry level people look at this!!! (incl Stereo mic (if needed via connector))
  • The build-in flash being the assist light source for focussing in low light situations is irritating. They might safe a couple of bucks this way, but it can damage image of Pentax
  • The focus points showing up in OVF, who cares? I don't, but also this might be a gadget that newbies look at, but it might be expensive to build in...
• A tele converter for non-Pentax lenses would be break through
  • Of course with Pentax mounting
  • But why not with other mountings as well?

I am curious to WHAT made you bring this up?
