You might be missing some controls and features, why not wait till the K7 comes at that price?
I would think that will be some time. K10Ds are still going for well over £200

Mike has had a great deal for the one he bought, also in the £200 number I believe.
I see many people who bought this camera showing no buyers remorse or "New camera" envy... most view it as a keeper...
like my ds2, I see that one going to my son rather than up for sale.
For £250 it hardly seems worth getting rid, given the quality of the sensor...

Currently on a Pentax hiatus until an FF Pentax is released
At £200 I'd keep the Kx as a second body/spare rather than flog it!
Same here. I currently have a K"0D and K10D ( bought the K10D as a secodn body ) - When I get a K-5 I'ev decided to keep the K10D. I was goign to sell ti offest the K-5 cost but it takes good pics and doesn't have any dark frame nonsense at any shutter speed. And having a spare can't be a bad thing.
ON some shoots I can see myself taking 3 bodies over my shoulder.

Did that on Saturday - had the K-m and original KM with me! Shooting digital to stitch for panoramas and B&W film for the detail it brings out in stonework.
Shooting the Welsh Wilderness with K-m, KX, MX, ME Super and assorted lenses.
It's definately the K-x I want , it Kx feels just perfect in my little paws and the K7 does not. There is no functionality I use on the K10 that the K-x hasn't got so that's not a problem for me.
So well done to people who have sold their k-x's for almost as much over the last couple of months!
On the srs used pages I am seeing D-ist stuff which I guess people are swapping for K-r's but no sign of a k-x yet.
Now, e-bay prices seem far too high compared to new but presume they will fall once people realise they can buy new for not much more.
I only need the body so am hopeful that a second hand one will fall into my price range sometime in the next year now.

With the K-r being announced I am hoping that prices for used K-x's might fall. I know some of you have more knowledge and experience of the 'patterns' of prices reducing over time.
So, how long do you guys think I will have to wait before I can pick one up (obviously fully working, good condition etc.) for about £200?
