It looks like release date street price for the K-7 will be about
$1200. You'll probably be able to get one for $900 by the end of the
year.

So what's the price of the new K-7 ? ! !
If you've got me to pay $1,400 for a new K-7,
I'll surely pay $1,500 for a full frame Pentax.

I suspect [Pentax] think that FF won't be viable below
the $1500 or so pricepoint (and I agree with them there).
Taken together, those statements suggests that the low end
of the consumer market extends up to around $1500. I think
that's too high by at least a factor of two (or more); the
low end will probably be $500 - $600 over the next couple
of years, and the midrange will probably be $650 - $900.
Anything over $1000 will already be at the high end of the
consumer market; $1500 or more pushes you firmly into the
advanced amateur / semi-pro segment. And if you are right
about a FF camera selling for $1500 it's never going to be
in the bulk consumer market (which I believe to be the case).
