Bill, I humbly disagree with you. People who buy K-m are likely to buy those plastic mount kit lenses along the way. Then of course, for them (<-- please notice that) K20D would appear outdated.
That's the problem. Say, you have K-m. You ask yourself, what can I buy next up the ranks? Oh, you say, there is this full frame camera, let it be called K-1D for sake of this little story here. Hmmm, it is big and it is expensive. What is in between? Oh, K20D. Good, good, where is my credit car? However what happens in reality? In reality what happens is what Bruce or myself wrote some messages ago in the same thread. I don't want to be perceived as pessimistic or anything. I am pretty much content about my gear. I only want to feel certain that when some of it expires (as it has to), I will be able to buy new gear just as good as my current one. To be totally honest, I am not entirely sure of that.
