The SLRs that we've seen:

*ist D - the "pro" body, now eclipsed in some ways by the consumer 
bodies that followed
*istDS - same sensor and viewfinder, different control layout, smaller, 
no battery grip, faster write speed and larger buffer
*istDL - same as the DS but with a pentamirror instead of a pentaprism, 
fewer AF points, poorer flash handling, smaller buffer
*istDS2 - same as the DS but with a bigger rear LCD
*istDL2 - same as the DL but with a bigger rear LCD

So really there are only three bodies -- the two "2" versions are just 
really minor updates.  All of these except the DL2 are currently out of 
production.

What's coming:

K100D - midway between the DS2 and the DL2, with the pentamirror and a 
smaller buffer but with the addition of body-side anti-shake
K110D - the K100D without anti-shake

Those two will be out in the next few weeks.

K10D - anti-shake, 10MP sensor, not much else is really known for 
certain.  At least, not that people can talk about.
