Pentax Product Manager Chris Pound is quoted as saying:
"We think this will really appeal to K10D or *ist users, classic
users,
advanced amateurs or budget pros."
Sounds like they're not aiming to get K20D users to convert en masse.
They're going for new users plus owners of older Pentax models who
hadn't
seen a compelling reason to go for the K20D. (That'd be me, for
example,
although I was tempted by the higher ISO as well.)
That kind of thinking leads me to believe we may still see a higher
spec K30D later this year. The K7 is nice, but it isn't the game
changer that some were predicting a few weeks ago.
