Better positioned than the K200D, still has some distinct weaknesses in the buffer.

Adam, IMO there is no immediate need for the camera between K-m and K20D. What is desperately needed, is camera (way) above K20D.

Overall I agree, and Pentax can always let the K20D drift downwards in price to cover that.

For my purposes, the K20D has proved a substantial upgrade from the K10D, and the two cameras make a nice work pair. I'm pleased that I bought in right away, since the next upgrade still appears to be well in the future. Unless I start getting $200/hr. assignments, I can't see investing in

If you want control over your camera the K-m makes it much more difficult. Two things the K200D has that the K-m Lacks, (that I noticed right off the bat), DOF preview and Green button modes. The K-m doesn't seem to support legacy K or M lenses and may not even allow m42 lenses, (unless they

Paul, I understand you very well. But admit it, K20D is in no way a competitor to A900, D700 or 5DmkII. As such, it is indeed an upgrade from K10D but marketing-wise it does not move upwards on the class ladder; it remains the mid-level camera for advanced photography connoisseur such as yourself.

Re: OT: Leica kicking everyone's rear?

Well let's see. The M8 costs about $5.5K for a camera with roughly the same image capture specifications of an *ist-D, and the same resolution and sensor size of a Canon 1D Mark III. which you can get for around $3K. Based on this I'd put the Leica S2's street price at something like 2-3x the

Re: Official, details on Dpreview

John, the main problem here is that many people (I think it is many, but I may be wrong) may be willing to go that extra-buck and stretch themselves as far as to buy 5DMkII or D700 or A900. This is what I would definitely do now if I had Canon, Nikon or Sony/Minolta equivalent of lenses that I

Hello Boris, Very well put. I was waiting to see what would come out of Photokina. Unfortunately, what I see is more of the same. More and more low end bodies and nothing above the middle. Some day, they ought to get caught up with the bottom, since that is mostly what they have been producing
