In the OK1000 preview (from the blog at
<http://www.ok1000pentax.com/2009/05/pentax-k-7-hands-on-preview.html>),
Pentax Product Manager Chris Pound is quoted as saying:

  "We think this will really appeal to K10D or *ist users, classic users,
  advanced amateurs or budget pros."

Sounds like they're not aiming to get K20D users to convert en masse.
They're going for new users plus owners of older Pentax models who hadn't
seen a compelling reason to go for the K20D. (That'd be me, for example,
although I was tempted by the higher ISO as well.)
