Since I have pretty scarce experience with digital cameras, my comments should not be taken as gospel. I am thinking about the next camera too, and the possible bodies are very alike - resolution and higher iso being the main issues.

I'd look for the K10d if your current DS is almost enough for the prints you make (actually, the sizes you enlarge your pics). If you feel the DS as completely poor in resolution, the K20d looks a better choice.

I'd think about the K20d if I needed really high ISO very often. If my pics usually don't exceed ISO 800, the K10d is cheaper.

Both offer the same layout, have almost the same size, weight and look.They have pretty much the same viewfinder and that's very close to the DS' - while the others' is somewhat smaller.

I'd consider the K200d only if I wanted just an extra resolution and shake reduction AND the same one-wheel control of the DS - and there are other differences in the details. Viewfinder is smaller, but the price difference and control layout may be enough to offset this disadvantage.

Probably the K10d, for me. Assuming the price and specs of the new camera aren't irresistible. Wich I rather think they won't be.

With all the excitement over a possible new digital camera from Pentax....what used Pentax camera do I start to look for as a suitable successor to my IstDS? Curious minds want to know.
