Pentax has introduced too many new cameras for us to complain. No wait, this group can always complain! The US is running a special price on the K-7 with WP kit lens, $150 below K-7 price alone and offering $100 off on each lens purchased at the same time. If the K-20 didn't have a 3 year damage warranty on it, I might have gone for a 2nd K-7 and a DA16-45/2.8 or DA200/2.8. And I had to sell my K10D because I couldn't justify keeping 2 generations back. Maybe Pentax has a new paradigm. Sell the family new cameras to use their old lenses! Before the *ist DS, my lens collection was big but my new camera purchases were an initial ME, Super Program, and PZ-1. Since buying the *ist DS, I've fell for the K10D, K20D, and K7D. That's some $3500+ in the last 3-4 years vs under $900 in the first 20+ years. Regards, Bob S.
