I'm not sure there's a market for yet another 6MP camera,
let alone two of them. I'm expecting a 10MP+SR (the K10D),
and a cheaper non-SR body (the K1000D?) using the same 10MP
sensor, but without some of the higher-cost bells and whistles.
----------
A few weeks ago the Pentax dealer in Moscow inadvertently
displayed a 6 MP model with SR. People there even took
pictures with it.
I think Pentax Japan handed the Moscow company their heads
on a platter. The camera was only on display for a day,
IIRC, then it was gone. But it's real.
It makes sense:
A top 10 MP with SR
A mid-range 6 MP with SR
A low-end/entry 6MP without SR
Given the noise problems that the 10 MP model will have, I
might be more interested in the mid-range one, except that
the features I use will be available only deeply buried in
electronic menus. So I'll probably get the 10 MP one.
