With the reintroduction of weather-sealing, I would suggest that this is less a replacement for the K-r than for the K200D. : ) Also, 799 euros = $1016 USD which is not what anyone would consider an "entry level" camera that is going to sell, if that is street price.
I would suggest that this is going to be a mid-range camera out of 3 or 4 models. There should be one below it (with only one wheel and less/no weather-sealing, if Pentax stays true to their earlier "entry" cameras). The other problem is that this is priced very close (some might suggest TOO close) to the K-5. Which, to me indicates that a new K-5 model is coming shortly that would be placed above the K-30. And then there will be the new FF flagship (and the updated 645D). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
