While Pentax has two or three 6mpx cameras, they have also just come out with a 10mpx camera, the K10D. You can read about it here:
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0609/06091305pentaxk10dpreviewed.asp and many other places on the web, or take a cruise through our September archives: http://pdml.net/pipermail/pdml_pdml.net/2006-September/date.html The 6mpx cameras have been great, and for may they are sufficient for the work that they do, and they are also priced well and make a great introduction to DSLR cameras, but some people want more advanced features and more mpx's, so the K19D was introduced.
