It always struck me as a replacement for the K200d... so I reckon it will be intermediate between the upcoming new entry level model and the top of the range APSC model (the K5 replacement).So it is pitched below the K-5. Is it the K-r replacement or is it a mid level between the two and we will have replacements K-r and K-5?
K-r (replacement)- Beginners APSC
K30 - Intermediate APSC
K5 (replacement) Advanced APSC
K3 (or other more random name) - AdvancedFullFrameAtMassivePriceTag
A 4 camera line certainly would put them well and truly back in the competition...

I suppose it's subjective depending on what you consider to be 'expensive'...
I recently picked up the Samsung version of the DFA100macro(nonWR) for £200... A price I consider to be a steal for that particular lens...
I have a 'fisheye/macro attachment lens' in a 58mm thread which I never had much luck with, the Raynox is supposedly pretty good in comparison and if you search around you'll find great results from it...
If you're patient M-version 100mm macro lenses do turn up on ebay for reasonable prices...
I'd trade my D-Xenon100macro for a Pentax-FA100macro in a heartbeat!
The images from the FA (in my opinion) look sharper and show less CA...

I have a really cheap one purchased for a tenner from Currys... I find it useful when shooting with longer lenses... Deffo improves my keeper rate when using the DA50-200WR lens (my longest lens)...
Was very useful at Donnington (touring cars) tracking fast moving objects...
I think I'll replace mine with one that has a ballhead for portrait orientation at some point...
