True, however K1000 did not gain good reputation over the past several years, but a long time ago when it was indeed much cheaper then KX and KM and that's what I was referring to. It just carries over that fame to these days. And having handled K2, KX and MX I agree they are all fine and equally robust cameras, no doubt about it.
But I am with you on current prices, K1000 should go for $40-50, not $100-150 like these days, but hey, all is relative: some much less useful things are being sold for insane amounts, like a piece of clothing worn one time by a celebrity -- plain ridiculous! So K1000 even at $200 makes much more sense to me! :-)
