they've made that body. it's called the *istD. now they promise that there
will be a higher end body to replace it. once it is ready, then they can
start cutting features again.

That doesn't seem to be how it works to me. You make one body, then cut
off a number of "features" to provide cheaper models, thereby getting
three or so sets of sales for one level of R&D. You _might_ pick up some
lens sales but many of the SLR buyers will already have lenses, even the
budget level ones.
