Well, you are at a disadvantage being in Israel and all. I'm less than
200 miles from B&H photo. When the K-7 was beginning to ship B&H
dropped the price of the K20D to $629.00. With free shipping I had it
in one day, and since I'm not in NY no NY State, City or County sales
tax. Keh.com has a Bargain, (which probably means it looks brand new
based on their usual standards), K10D for $275.and a K-7 in EX+ for
$725.00, now I haven't looked at the current
http://www.keh.com/Camera/format-Digital/system-Pentax-Digital/category-Camera-Bodies?s=1&bcode=DP&ccode=2&cc=79277&r=WG&f
I don't know if that link will work just go to their main page and
navigate to Pentax Digital camera bodies.
Adorama in NY, has the K-7 for about $860, but Pentax USA still
considers it a current product, and I bet Pentax USA still has a bunch
in stock.
I wish I had a better option for you, maybe if you moved to New Hampshire...

Just went to the local price watch site. Few quotes for your perusal,
Peter:
K100D - USD 650
K200D - USD 1050
K10D - USD 970
K20D - USD 1000
K-7 - USD 1300
Following your logic, I am going to have to wait until K-(-3) comes
out (yes, it is "key minus three") to get my K-5 for USD 600 although
just as well it might never happen all together.
The last time I inquired with the local distributor, K-5 was USD 1750.
If (and mind you, it is a big if) its price goes down to the same
figure I paid for K-7, it will be USD 1600 at current exchange rate,
which, I should say is like 10% price reduction that is not very
likely to happen anyway.
Your reasoning is only applicable to the place where you live, which
is although important and vast is not all there is, you know.

The K-5 will have been out, a bit over, a year next September. The K-3,
or whatever it'll be called, will have been announced sometime after the
previous August, with a ship dated not far in the future. Then is the
time to look to look to buy a K-5. Every Pentax DSLR I've bought I've
paid ~ $600USD for. The only problem I've had is everyone else talking
up the latest and greatest, but you know, even the *ist-D, which has
reached paperweight status, as far as monetary value is concerned, still
takes great pictures...
