Nah, I just think they're being realistic about whether they can sell a new camera to every user every year. I'll be very surprised if the new camera later this year isn't aimed to replace the K200D. I think they're going to _try_ to keep the K-7 priced above $1000, so there's room between it and the $500 K2000. The "game changer" speculations have been wishful thinking for a long, long time. I don't think the economics of it lend any support to the idea, though. Although it's worth noting that Adorama actually literally says this: "The Pentax K-7 is a game changer." <http://www.adorama.com/alc/blogarticle/11608> :) -- Matthew Miller [email protected] <http://mattdm.org/> The Definitive Pentax P-TTL Flash Model Guide: <http://pttl.mattdm.org/> -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
