I think they need to keep at least 3 different models going..... preferably 4 (FF/K30d or what ever)
Well, I don't see Pentax keeping a non-weather sealed body in the lineup, though they could keep a Km/K2000 equivalent as an inexpensive entry body. The problem is that they then don't have their current niche covered (tough/weatherproof).
Since they obviously can fit lots of good stuff into a small body (K7), maybe they will try to put a FF into the K20d form factor - BUT, I don't see the glass for it. Only a handful of currently shipping lenses will work properly, none of them zooms.
Who knows...Just be happy that they are selling cameras and lenses right now. My local shop was pretty dead this weekend.
