They were offered side-by-side for quite a while, so I didn't consider it a replacement, but maybe Pentax did. The K-r was introduced in Sept. 2010 and the K-x wasn't discontinued until the end of March 2011. As one author opined on his blog: "It would have been a mistake to replace the K-x with a totally redesigned DSLR because of its popularity. So the Pentax K-r was born, but with the same heart, the 12.4mp CMOS sensor."
I guess that is the question: Is the K-r the new entry level or is there going to be a new one below it (the spot the K-x formerly occupied)?
