Hello Adam, When you are Nikon or Canon you can price reasonably because most users will buy your products over weaker brands if the price is similar. When you are the weaker brand, there has to be something more than a comparably featured body to entice. You either need a demonstrably better body at/near the same price or a noticeably cheaper body with about the same feature set. Pentax went the price route.
