Well, now ... this is infuriating. I've got less than 4,000 shutter

focusing, 6 fps, and AF points (which I was pretty "meh" about, until
now) on the K-r.
Maybe I'll just hold off save up for the K-5 and keep the K-x as backup.
Now that the bodies have gone digital, for the next few years we're on
the same treadmill that the personal computer industry was on for the
first few years: as soon as you actually buy something, it's
"obsoleted" by a new product introduction. This will continue until
the technology matures a bit. So, like with computers then, you just
have to pick a good price-capability point, drive a stake in the sand,
and quit looking at the new product introductions for a while. :-)
The good part is that once the new product is available the old is
deeply discounted. I've paid about $600 for both the *ist-D and the
K20D. I expect that I'll pay no more for the K-5 when I finally buy
one, about a year from now. Unless it has some "must have feature",
(Since I still use a lot of manual focus K mounts I expect that's not
likely).
