But if it did, it would be good for both (Canon gets a better premier lens line, Leica gets a decent digital solution). I don't see Leica dropping Panasonic though, just both dropping the 4/3rds SLR business in favour of the M43 compacts and P&S's. > > That one is funny... or interesting depends on your take on that one :p > > * Nikon intros D90.

I've heard rumours of a below-the-K200D model. Which doesn't make sense to me, K200D needs a major price drop to be competitive an even more cut down body wouldn't be marketable today, it's telling that almost every local Pentax shooter I know is shooting a K10D or earlier. Pentax blew the pricing on both the K20D and the K200D, with the latter being vastly overpriced (Canon has done the same with the new Rebel XS, which is at least $200 more than it's worth). -Adam -- M.
