How would you define "pro body"?

Very happy with the K20d boddy here.

The first K1 looks really ugly. It would definitely sink my boat.

I guess the Canon EOS-1V and Nikon F6 aren't pro bodies then?

(There's more to it than size...)

....Make the flagship model use AAs like the K100 and k200, it was my main decision is myself choosing the k200d over the k10

Maybe I'm weird, but for my needs I can't imagine choosing a camera model over another based on the battery.

That said, it would be nice if the battery was designed so you could use an insert loaded with AA batteries as an alternative to the rechargable factory battery.

I think a flagship model needs high FPS and more power than AAs can give without needing so many that weight is excessive. I do like the AA option for lower-spec bodies, however.

Looks like my fiends Nikon D3, what a beast that thing is.
