Probably because only Pentax will be able to tell you.
Everyone else can only guess.

By the way, now the K-7 has a AF assist lamp it should be a lot better than previous Pentax cameras for low light levels.

And john won't have to carry a torch if he gets a K7

A bit of humour in a otherwise heated discussion, made me laugh anyway ... cheers Richard.

Ooops, that's what comes of speed reading, trying to catch up on too many threads in a small amount of time.
Busiest day it's been in here for ages

Yes, but the k7 hasn't arrived in force yet, or been fully promoted yet.

If past advertising by Pentax is anything to go by then I would say it has.
They are not exactly known for their aggressive advertising.

As I can't vote I can't see the poll results

Just ask that any payment paid via Paypal be made as a gift with the buyer paying the fees Paypal themselves give this option when paying). As this is not a Ebay auction there is nothing wrong with doing that.

I don't see the attraction of the D300: big, in some ways quite clunky, not noticeably better than the K20D except perhaps for flash and AF performance. Neither is a big deal imho. But if you go for one - good luck.

You have only named two things about the Nikon D300 over the K20D, here's three more.

Better IQ.
Less noise at high Iso.
Better build quality.
IMO

Actually I wouldn't agree with better IQ .. I still think that Pentax knock spots off Nikon in this respect.

Did forget much faster FPS and more focus points though.

So why did you buy the K20D?

Dare I say we may have to "save up" for a new camera in the future.

I sold 3 or 4 lenses to upgrade my K10D to a K-7.
Saying that I have since had second thoughts, bought a DA* 50-135mm (at the old price) and have just now seen a used Sigma 180mm DG EX Macro for sale for a reasonable price. (which actually is more second hand than it was 4 months ago brand new).

Sigma also increased their prices by quite a substantial amount just after Christmas, Pentax are just playing catchup ... rather too enthusiastically if you ask me.
