I agree. I expect the next bodies we'll see will be SDM- enabled variations of the K100D and K110D (K200D, perhaps?). After that I'd see a K1000D as a good candidate - it would be pretty close to a K100D, after all; perhaps no more than dropping the picture modes (and slimming filters :-), and probably losing the on-board flash (as the MZ-M did).
Beyond that I anticipate a K10Dn with minor tweaks such as frame rate & buffer size (mostly due to faster electronics).
