Pentax can do any damn thing they want. I expect that the K-7 would
have been the replacement for the K20D except that it was more than an
incremental change. I expect that the K200D was slated for replacement
and the new Camera will be something between the K20 and K200 in
capabilities.
I think what Ned said was that the K7 wasn't the k30. It wasn't the
next iteration of that series, but rather a new direction. I don't
think it was was ever said that both cameras would continue to be
available. As the owner of both a K20D and a K7D, I'd have to say
they're too close in

understandable that they should no longer be

It seems to work pretty well like that, thank you :)

If it can do iso 6400 with the noise i get at current 800 with the
K 10D, i *might* look into one. Moving from 10-14 MP is not a factor
for me, i still shoot, 2.74 or 4 mp for equine work.:-)
One question as i have not heard of the term before. What is AF trim.

Sort of. I have cameras that can do 8-9 FPS but i rarely use over 3-4.

You can already do that but it requires the use of a manual focus lens.

My informations are Pentax sensor.
Obviously Pentax can't fab the sensor themselves so they need a
manufacturer: Samsung or Cypress.
Samsung is more likely of course.

two on Pentaxforums/DpReview etc.

I hadn't seen exactly these rumors before. However 14mp is getting into
the resolution medium speed perfectly exposed 35mm film is capable of
recording, and a heck of a lot better than most 35mm film actually does
record. Pentax digital has more or less come of age. Now if Pentax can

No argument here. But even the upgrade from 6mp to 10 gave me a lot in terms of
room to crop, so I'm expecting another plus from 14mp. And I suspect the new
sensor will probably show less noise than the current crop. That would be
another big plus.
