The winter doldrums are approaching and the fact that Pentax has finally

Ok, I know that DPreview, Pentax Forums and others have such discussion
but they're just silly...
I for one miss those halcyon days of just a few months ago.
Well, it's summer doldrums down here but I get your point....
I think that DSLR development has reached the point where incremental
gains in performance are relatively small, so upgrading becomes a matter
of trying to justify the expense when the current camera is 'good
enough'.
I my case, the K200D does pretty much everything I want, so I probably
wont upgrade until a camera comes along with similar features but with a
better high ISO performance and a sensor with a few more MP of
resolution. (Oh, wait. Isn't that the K-x?....)
I'm ready for an upgrade from my *istD. It's a nice camera but my
response to it has always been lukewarm at best. I've had it three
years and it only has ~3200 actuations on it. I'm waiting to see what
the Boxing Day sales offer...hopefully an K-7D or a K20D at a good
price.
