Lenses too? There's some nice ones on the roadmap I'd like to get. And I've been grabbing all the Pentax MZ-era camera straps that I can find. Love those pockets, and those little nipples on the strap buckles are great for motor drive film cams (I need another one for the HexarRF). I like nipples.

Re: Coming camera(s) : for thow who know, would you buy it?
Frankly, the K200D is already low-end enough. The only way they could go lower on a saleable body without completely crippling the camera is to simply reintroduce the K100D Super updated with the new processing software used in the K2 series bodies. Otherwise we'll end up with something as uncompetitive as the Rebel XS. The K200D IS a low-end camera that Pentax thinks is a mid-range consumer body for some reason. What Pentax needs is a real mid-range body. Either a K20D sensor or the Sony 12MP sensor in a K200D body with 3fps and a 6-9 shot RAW buffer. -Adam On Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 3:11 AM, Thibouille [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: For those who know about the new camera (I mean the small low-end one ;) ), do you feel like buying it? -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille -- Photo: K10D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ...

Re: Coming camera(s) : for thow who know, would you buy it?
Well the K200D could indeed receive an upgrade for a very good reason: the base camera is damn good (just a K10D with a couple features missing) but the buffer/fps really is a joke, espcieally the ridicullous buffer.

Re: Coming camera(s) : for thow who know, would you buy it?
Well for what I know (which is nowhere near official, Pentax-Hoya seems a lot more NDA guys than before and I'm not under NDA) it seems this time some might want to upgrade their istDS (although doubt we will see TTL or anything else than pentamirror). Other than those two issues, it seems a nice upgrade to the DS (on e.g. the size point of view). A bit bigger probably but quite smaller than the K200D. An small upgrade of the K20D is rumoured as well (K20D super?).

Re: Coming camera(s) : for thow who know, would you buy it?
Sure they would but I expect Hoya-Pentax to go that route more than before... A least they do not market upgrade versions as full new versions (read...Canon-like). Personnaly, I do not think the K20D needs anything more than what it has already. But the K200D or an intermediate model would be welcome, even more if its size is more DS-like.

Re: Coming camera(s) : for thow who know, would you buy it?
The K200D is not enough camera for too much money. Apart from the weather sealing the Sony A200 matches or exceeds it in every regard (especially AF and buffer/fps) for around $200 less and the Nikon D80 is roughly the same price while far more camera. It's not a bad camera, just a bad value (the opposite of the K100D and K10D, which were very, very good values) The K200D needs to be moved seriously downmarket (if that means dropping the sealing and calling it a K2000D, so be it) and replaced by an actual mid-range product. It's telling that of the K-series cameras only the K200D is rarely seen around here. I suspect there are more K2 and KX owners on the list than K200D owners. -Adam On Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 8:46 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Why do K200D or K20D need a replacement?

Re: Coming camera(s) : for thow who know, would you buy it?
Actually, recent price reductions in OZ have now made the K200D very competitive. It can be had for $A700 from a reputable dealer which is considerably better than the $A1200 (approx) that it was listed for originally. I'm still aiming for the K20D but I haven't totally excluded the 200D from consideration.

Apart from the weather sealing the Sony A200 matches or exceeds it in every regard (especially AF and buffer/fps) for around $200 less and the Nikon D80 is roughly the same price while far more camera. It's not a bad camera, just a bad value (the opposite of the K100D and K10D, which were very, very good values) The K200D needs to be moved seriously downmarket (if that means dropping the sealing and calling it a K2000D, so be it) and replaced by an actual mid-range product. It's telling that of the K-series cameras only the K200D is rarely seen around here. I suspect there are more K2 and KX owners on the list than K200D owners. -Adam On Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 8:46 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Why do K200D or K20D need a replacement? What Pentax _may_ need is something lower than K200D or higher than K20D. K200D Minus could be something like the Micro Four Thirds from Olympus. Ergo a K bayonetted, interchangeable compact camera :P Like a Micro K. K20D Plus could be FF camera There are rumours about Samsung developing a Optical Viewfinderless DSLR and also a FF sensor... .t Adam, who said the new camera wasn't replacing K200D? :p According to current informations it would (supposedly) replace or compliment it between K200D and K20D. -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille -- -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Faster than the air-speed velocity of an unladen european swallow -- 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.
