My prediction: Whatever the last model DSLR produced by Pentax is, it
will be the last "high end" camera I'm likely to buy from them. The
14mp sensor is already higher resolution than I could reasonably achieve
with 35mm film and its high ISO performance is better than I could have
dreamed of just a few years ago. So I won't be funding the R&D on a
"good" EVF. In fact if the K7D is the last Pentaprism camera that
Pentax makes, unless it's an order of magnitude better than the K20d,
the K20D is likely to be the last DSLR I buy, well Buy New at least.

I hope you are wrong about the EVF part, unless they get several magnitudes

Apparently the Lumix DMC G1 is supposed to be a good one, and it gave me a
headache in less than half a minute of using it.
I'll give you two daring predictions for the future:
1 - EVF's *will* eventually compete with mirror/prism viewfinders in
terms of image quality.
2 - The transition from mirror/prism to EVF will take place *before*
the abovementioned transition (and we users will suffer through lower
quality electronic viewfinders while financing the R&D that eventually
results in the high quality EVF).
