Sounds quite plausible too because the cost of developping such a body would be low: different cosmetics/some software to support video and give better AF...
On the other hand, it would also be somewhat sad because it is just an incremental evolution like Canon does often and I'm afraid it would not increase the attractivness of the offer up to the point it deserves.

Sorry, I did not read them all. No idea of what kind of video support it will be as I'm not the source of the infos.
One last thing: the K7, should he exists and meet the specs above is also supposed to be very compact, more than a K20D, something in the spirit of the "Limited" lenses.

I continue to forward infos I got from another forum (www.photim.com, in French).
At least one german online shops announces something:
TeKaDe - Deutschlands und Österreichs Pentax Shop Nr. 1
"Pentax neue DSLR KxxD ab sofort per Mail bestellbar. Preis um EUR 1500,00. Auslieferung Ende Juni/Anfang Juli 2009!"
Basically, "new Pentax KxxD DSLR, Price around 1500€, available around end of June/July 2009"

On another forum, someone claiming having them from Pentax posted the following specs:

Same sensor as the K20D
Up to 6400 ISO with better noise treatment
5 images/sec
100 % viewfinder
Better weatherproofing
Mirror lockup
Liveview and HD Video
Better stabilizer .
Better DRE mode
77 zones light metering
Much better AF system even with non-SDM lenses
3 inches/ 920 000 pixels screen with in-body editing (crop...)
1/8000 shutter with 1/250 sync
Very agressive pricing, less than 1500€ with the kit lens
Please do not shoot the messenger. We'll see if it's true shortly I guess.

Mine is number 9024855, bought 1 month ago at Fnac Forum, Paris, France.
Maybe not the sharpest ever made but still ok. Well-centered, AF ok after a +5 correction on the K20D.
