Hi Richard, not sure that the K200 replacement is coming out this May but the new 'K7' is. Apparently it is a sideways and up step from the K20D and is being launched later this month.
I think the mid level (K200D) replacement is scheduled for Autumn.....

Sanyo Eneloop £6.19 set of four delivered on 7 Day Shop at the moment!
Yep, I have ordered a couple of spare sets from 7 Day shop (one lot for me to try and one as spares for my daughter's camera).
I think Peter AKA Mannesty had spotted the same deal

Judith Ann, I'm basically going on recommendations here as I have not used them (yet).
Shim, that is useful information, they sound a great deal better than my Ansmann AA rechargeables.

I was surprisingly unimpressed with an Olympus DSLR that a work colleague brought in.

It had the build quality of a bridge camera.
Umm interesting which Oly was it? I'm surprised you say that as I would put Oly pretty high up on the build stakes, certainly better than Canon and Nikon budget fare, maybe not as good as Pentax.
Anyway I think Tel is thinking of an E-3 which quite honestly is a veritable battleship (even compared to Pentax)

They have also said they are heading in a different direction so maybe the K20D is the end of that line and this is a new beginning.
All we can do is wait, at least we arent seeing 1500 pages of total drivel here guessing about the new model.
Yes, seems to be a lot of talk about the 'style' of the new camera. Oh well lets wait and see
If it's significantly smaller as is rumoured then I wonder how the DA* range will sit with it.... a lens with something at the end perhaps

I have a Lowepro Slingshot 200 and use it all day without a problem. Nice bit of kit. Now that I have the 60-250 it is a little tight in the bottom compartment. All my other Pentax kit fits in nicely.

For RAW conversion, Capture One 4 gets my vote

Hi max11,
Depends on what your shooting really.
For example when I'm on a walk I shoot with my 16-50, tends to cover most eventualities. Last weekend I did change over to my 60-250 for a while, using it mainly at the shorter end.
